By John Hertz: Here’s something I found in Los Angeles the other day.
I think it’s stefnal (our old word, from Hugo Gernsback’s scientifiction; also “stfnal”; noun “stef”, “stf”; if you look at the signature of fanartist Dan Steffan you’ll see he writes it DAN STEF FAN).
You tell me.
Actually it was the other night. At San Fernando Rd. and N. Figueroa St. I came across these heads. I drove round to look at all nine.
Another time I saw them by day. I’m not sure which was more impressive.
They were made by local artists Freyja Bardell and Brian Howe. The faces are also local.
Bardell and Howe made a life-size mammoth out of bent-steel pipe, too.
What have you been making?

Glad to see John’s carrier pigeons are still flying about.
And the US Postal Service!
