Dave Dubé commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Playing Cards'

That may be an issue with newer decks Bill, but any of the older ones - their 'copyrights' don't apply. Matter of fact, even the newer ones are not a problem. I am not creating a card or cards for sale, but rather it is my image of a product that ...

Hey thanks! I'm thinking even contemporary paper would be nice for something different like this deck!

Do you have maps of SE Asia or Japan you'd be willing to part with?

Paul! It looks like I have to add Whitman Publishing to Bill's list. Thanks for the images.

Dave Dubé commented on VoteAudrey's blog post 'Be Thankful - Special Thanksgiving Gift to Veterans'

Audrey, I echo Frank. As a veteran and artist, I will soon be teaching returning veterans (suffering with PTSD) about how to create mail art as an aid to recovery. I would be very happy to distribute some of these to participants. Please. Dubé O...

Dave Dubé commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Playing Cards'

Could you do that Bill? My 'thing' is putting my art work on old commercial paper. See my web site: oldpaperart.blogspot.com I saw a piece of USPCC paper a couple of months ago, as it was in a lot of Cincinnati paper on eBay. I would certainly sta...

Bill, Could you possibly tell me who else besides the United States Playing Card Company made these decks?

Dave Dubé commented on Mike Ferguson's group 'Maps and Related'

Mike - it's only you, but I'm looking for two maps: One would be a decent map of the coastal area near Danang, Vietnam. I'd also like to find a map of a Japanese port city, and I really don't care which one as long as the legends are in Kanji. I'v...

These are FABULOUS! Looks to be an advertising deck as well. Can you contact me via my email addy, please. I'd like to get a high-res scan of the Parrish image on the card, since it incorporates the Edison advertising. email: ddcachets@gmail.com ...

Dave Dubé replied to Lindsey B's discussion 'History and Purpose of Letterheads' in the group Billheads and Letterheads

Lindsey, Properly, they aren't really maps but rather 'bird's eye views' of particular places, although I don't think you can preclude the use of a map as a guide for the production of the bird's eye view. I've looked at (literally) thousands of ...

About Me:

I'm an artist with a taste for history. I'm not strictly a collector of old paper, because I'm just giving it an embellished second life.

At 10:35am on July 16, 2009, Cliff Aliperti said…: Oh sure thing, no problem. I don't really do anything in that area anyway, I'm only interested in the info printed on there, anything actually in the letter-area would be a bonus! Thanks again for pointing it out.

At 10:10am on July 16, 2009, Cliff Aliperti said…: Dave, thanks for the alert on the letterhead lot (with US Playing Card Co.) I'm watching it now, if I can steal it cheap, I will.

I think it is such a fabulous idea and the way you've executed it is very appealing. I especially like The Homestead Rocker, but I really enjoyed looking at everything. It's nice to meet you!

At 6:09am on June 4, 2009, Kathleen Vigil said…: Hi Dave! Nice to meet you! --- My altered art pieces combine a variety of old, new, and found materials (copies of old photos, damaged sewing patterns and notions, etc.) and combines them to make an object that is surprising and (hopefully) pleasing to the eye. Since my home is on the small side, I tend to create many items that can be used or worn, and not merely decorative. For example, my latest project was a wastebasket for my sewing scraps that is covered with the tissue from old pattern pieces. I then added cut outs from damaged pattern envelopes that show the wonderful clothing designs from the '40s and '50s. Finally, I added some vintage sewing trims to the edges. Had I wanted to embellish further, I could have added stamping, buttons, etc., but I like a less cluttered look, so I didn't add to it. ---To coordinate with it, I made a picture for the walll that incorporates an old pattern envelope from the '40s, and a variety of other sewing notions attached to a vintage quilt block. It is in a frame that I found at a local thrift store that has a measuring stick design all the way around (I think that was originally for a child's school photos---but it works well for a sewing theme). ---Since I buy, sell and collect vintage patterns, the items that I used were damaged to a point where they had lost most of their collectible value, but were still interesting and pleasing to the eye. ---Other projects I have made incorporate polymer clay, stamping, sewing notions (again), and various ephemera into pieces of jewelery or "wearable art". If you do a google search on "altered art" you can find many, many more examples that are as diverse as the people who create them. ---To me, it is play. When I am making something, I feel like I am back in kindergarten again!

BTW, I think my wife has an uncle that lives in Helena, MT, not certain, but it does sound familiar (he lives in MT, and I think I've heard "Helena" mentioned).
