I've sent out Paghat Postcards for around twenty years -- original collage artwork trusted to the mails, & I rarely see any of these works a second time unless they turn up in some underground art exhibition at a cafe, museum, gallery, or reproduced in documentation catalogs. It was interesting to discover some fragment of one of my collages has ended up on a CD:

if it had been some bit of my fiction (for which I'm well paid) used without permission with me finding out after the fact, I'd feel rather annoyed & do something about that, but as the artworks are sent into the world without expectation of much of it being saved or seen again, it is actually nice to see it turn up. If I'd not been credited, I would never have recognized it as a fragment of any collage of mine. I like it when my one-of-a-kind pag-cards resurface in new formats.
By the by, the way to get one of my art cards is to send me one you've done, the motto being "Senders Receive!" E-attachments don't count; has to come through the mail. If you don't already have my postal address, feel free to request that info in a private email, or visit

you'll be able to ferret out the address if you try.
