Bananawalk and Bananarms

I hope it is not too late for my reply to an invitation Anna Banana has sent to me in Januray 2017 from Canada.



And I guess bananawalking will be too slow, and running won't help either, to have the mail arrive quicker. Enfin, we'll see...



Sent in this envelope to Canada.

Banana Day

The third Wednesday in April is said to be Banana Day, as are 21st of February and 18th of November and some more days.



This illustration I made on the back side of a package (so it is a kind of recycling art). And sent it too late for a previous Banana Day, and also too late for Banana Bread day. But at least it was postmarked on Leap Day and much appreciated by the receiver, Katerina in Greece.

Banana Mail Art

Men zegt dat het vandaag Bananendag is. Daarom is er in de afgelopen weken Bananen Mail Art gestuurd, en in geval van enveloppen, wachten de ontvangers met ze te openen tot deze dag.
Meer Bananen Mail Art kun je vinden in de IUOMA Bananas group.

The 21st of February 2014 is said to be Banana Day. So Banana Mail Art has been sent previously, and in case of envelopes, these will be opened today. More works of Banana Mail Art you can find in the IUOMA Bananas group.

Colour test prints

Zoals in een wijze spreuk gezegd wordt: "Creatieve mensen hebben geen rommel, creatieve mensen hebben overal ideeën liggen".
En die 'rommel' vind je zelfs aan de binnenkant van je pak eten - wat een ander 'gewoon' weg zou gooien!
Bovenstaande kleurproeven verzamelde ik - en vulde ik aan met een eigen interpretatie - voor Anna Banana in Canada, voor haar 'Colour test prints' project. Ben erg benieuwd wat zij daarmee gaat doen!

As said in wise words: Creative people don't have a mess, creative people have ideas laying everywhere'.
This 'mess' (garbage, clutter) is anywhere, also at the inside of your food package.
These colour test prints I gathered together to send to Anna Banana in Canada, for her 'Colour test prints' project. Looking forward to knowing what she'll do with these!

! Als je ook kleurentestprints vindt in de verpakkingen die je tegenkomt, knip ze uit (lijmresten geen bezwaar) en stuur ze naar:

! Check the back-/in/-downside of all cardboard packages you meet, cut them out (glued parts no problem) and send them to:



De bananen-postzegel kreeg ik van Patrizia uit Duitsland. Zie ook hier.
