Too Many Yesterdays

Well, it was yesterday when I received these next two.

First is a little wonder from j0llyr0ger, μ (Micro) 1.0, (semi)2otic, the smallest zine I've ever received, maybe 1 inch by 1.5 inches in size. The fourteen pages of this zinelet include bits of dadaistic textual barrage, broken up with the marvelously subtle intrusion of images: a mouse poking its nose into "tatter about," a hand-powered drill surrounding "bordered glaive/then a krait gore/cubic all the file," the corner of some piece of machinery above "circular yaw." The effect is kind of like a semi-collage. Altogether a great job of making a tiny booklet as well, and it's a good read for those of us who still have the eyes for it!

I haven't heard from kiyotei for a while, and I wondered why. Now I know: He was on vacation in Utah, in somewhere with the initials KB. It looks like it's near Capitol Reef National Park, but that's all I know. kiyotei is a mapmaker by avocation. I await his next charting.

It has occurred to me that it is possible that these two gentleman are keeping their true names secret from us.

Geof,

kiyotei=Rick Jones...
assuming the cryptic moniker due to truly boring given name.

P.S. - the map is not to scale - the location was actually near Bryce Canyon in a little known gem spot known as Kodachrome Basin. See actual photos of the location including real kinfolks in various outdoor poses: http://www.familyjoint.com/photoalbum.html

take care my friend,
kiyotei

kiyotei,

Glad to know your real name, but I didn't mean to force it out of you!

Some great pictures in those albums!

No problem. It's on the website too, but you gotta look for it: http://art.net/kiyotei/new1/artist.html

Yeah... there was plenty to photograph there. I guess that's why they named it Kodachrome Basin eh?

take care trickster!

I see. These are the recipients of the mail called FATE. so not an assembling. kiyotei has aninteresting blog but not much on it and no comments boxes. i find this addition assential. so he's not really called kiyotei. i was thinking he was a japanese zen master of the floating mailbox, gifted in the art of gifs! and a very fine one too.
