Guido Vermeulen, Brussels, BELGIUM



Tribute to Rene Magritte
- Magritte did a series of photos of himself and close friends with "sleeping" eyes
- Photo taken in the Brussels Pub "the Gilded Paper Flower"/ "La Fleur en Papier Doree" a former meeting place of Magritte and his friends. The pub still exists, filled with memories and is one of Guido's favourite places in Brussels.

Many Thanks Guido.

What wonderful memories from the days of Hollywood Squares.

John Travolta, Santa Barbara, CA, USA

Decided to go ahead and place a few of the portraits that came in shortly before the concept of the Portrait Gallery came into being . . Here's one from John.
"Mail Art Call" post cards were printed today for mailing. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of response this idea generates.
