I had it in my head that my July bug was going to be some 2-headed creature depicting my state of mind for the past month. At the last minute, while checking out a fellow mail artist MICK BOYLE'S site, I discovered that he was starting a 2-month mailart call with "Radish" as a theme. The rest is history.
As soon as I create a colored version, I'll post that as well.

JUNE BERUBE-BUG "FARRAH" FINAL(LY)
I finally managed to finish the June Berube-Bug "FARRAH", inspired by Farrah Fawcett's poster image of 70's fame. I'm running a little behind and still have to print the backs of the post cards, but they will make it into the mail this week going to anyone who sent me a post card last month. Sorry for the delay.
