CORRECTION: July 20, 2020 Upon reading this post, David Stanley Aponte informed me that the mythological creature is actually a Lamassu, and NOT a Griffin. Lamassu (pronounced La-ma-soo) are a hybrid of a human, bird, and either a bull or lion— specifically having a human head, the wings of an eagle, and the body of a bull or a lion. They were a symbol of protection in Mesopotamia. Incoming mail art from SUBREAL ALCHEMY, David Stanley Aponte, (Philadelphia, PA) arrived on June 4. David sent a handmade postcard - made with a 4" X 6" piece of corrugated cardboard.  Postcard: David Stanley Aponte (Philadelphia, PA). Features an image of a Griffin The front of David's postcard features, what looks like the mythological creature, the Griffin. In case you've forgotten what a griffin is - it's a mythical beast having the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle. Look closer...is the Griffin "flipping the bird?" Haha!

In October 2019 I submitted a postcard to Mick Boyle for his online mail art show, 'Ray Johnson Double Add and Return.'  Submission to the "Ray Johnson Double Add and Return' by Jayne B. Lyons (October 2019).  'Ray Johnson Double Add and Return' download sheet. (From mail artist Mick Boyle's m-a call website) This is the original download for the 'Ray Johnson Double Add and Return.' I used the top portion of the download to make my postcard. My postcard is exhibited on Mick Boyle's website HERE.
