Soon the new cards will be ready and will be sent out. The order went out just now.

New Acrylic Painted Envelopes 2016
The last decades I have been sending out lots of acrylic painted envelopes. The proces of making them goes in various stages. Each color is added as a batch to several envelopes where I constantly decide what there will be added to the envelope.

Fluxus Words – The Score
Today this complete set went out. More to follow since I started a new set that is dated 2016 and will go out somewhere this year as well. On the backside I placed the stickers made of the score from 1988.
Fluxus Words / New words
Four new Fluxus words were painted on envelopes. They are now sent out to some active mail/artists, so they will find the word quite soon. If they don´t know what to do with it, they could visit: http://fluxuswords.blogspot.nl/ Because that is a blog I made to give people an overview of the Fluxus Words Score, and the results that it has brought so far.

New pens

I normaly use the traditional nibs, since that works the best, but for design, these pens are very good indeed. Teset days I worked on cleaning them and testing them. One.. Read More

The OLD IUOMA website

It grew from there and was completely typed by hand. Because maintaining that old structure because too time consuming and also I didn’t wantbto throw away the old building, it is still there through: http://www.iuoma.org/index.html Just try it….. ..
