<b>Ray Johnson Fan Club Relationship XCIX ~ “Things go your way WHEN YOU have THE POWER TO CLOUD MEN’S MINDS”</b> was completed 10/2015 using only trash from the streets, on the 45 record cover “Knock on Wood / When you are beautiful” by Amii Stewart.
It was left 10/9/15 on the door of a vacant building at the intersection of N. Jefferson Street and E. Plymouth Street in Tampa, Florida. (below)
My 54TH collage: Relationship LIV – “EXPOSE The One CHEESE FLAVORED Legend” was made using a 45 record cover by “Exposé” called “Point of no return.” I completed it on November 2, 2012 while on day trip to Antwerp to review the Wegee photography retrospective at the FotoMuseum Antwerp. (you can see a Polaroid negative I shot at the exhibition, in this collage.) This one took about 4 hours of solid work and was made while sitting at the Starbucks in the Antwerp Central Station. I finished it just in time to post it up and catch the last train back home to Mons, a 2 hour journey.
I left this collage the same day on a bricked wall across from the Antwerp Central Station along Pelikaanstraat. (see below)

Ray Johnson Fan Club – L.A.R. – Postcard Series 1 (second 4 examples)
Relationships #46 #47 #48 & #49
An edition of 8 similar, yet different postcards.
All based on a Naf Naf Paris postcard from the free postcard rack at my local McDonalds.
Though it is a “series,” each of the 8 examples is a one-of-a-kind original piece of artwork made by hand, stamped, numbered and signed.
here are the first four in the series:
My 50th collage: Relationship L – “This Life is not a Gentile Sandwich”” was made using the paperback book cover from “Gentle Rogue” by Johanna Lindsey I made it on September 5, 2012 while on a short trip to Köln in Deutschland.
see the original paperback book cover:
My 45th collage: Relationship XLV – “Hurricane Isaac Hits Meine Fraulein” was made using an album cover from the record “Exitos del Verano.” I completed it on September 3, 2012 while on a short trip to Köln in Deutschland. I sat in Café Woyton on In der Höhle for about 5 hours while working on it – a great little coffee shop where everything on the menu is magnificent. (well everything I tried anyway.)
I left this collage on a small, public bench between the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen Fountain and the Starbucks on Am Hof. – It was still there more than 24 hours later when I made a short film of a tour group sitting there ignoring my artwork. (see below)
