I'm running a mailart show with Westminster Libraries in London, for a display in Pimlico library from March 25, 2011, so the deadline for this call is March 11th. The works will be on the walls for 2 weeks or so.

What we want is postcard sized (up to A5 should be fine - feel free to interpret this as you wish) stories from mailartists, comics creators and anyone else who can tell a story. The works will go up on the walls of the library as a backdrop to talks by comics creators and artists, and I may even do a talk about mailart.

Ultimately, the idea is to produce a book of all the stories which will go on the shelves of Pimlico library, so your stories will be immortalised, but this isn't yet confirmed.

We'd love to get as many Little Big stories as possible, so if you intend to send us one, or want to swap some ideas, drop in and lets talk!

Comment by andytgeezer on March 10, 2011 at 10:05pm: Thanks for the heads up Louise. I haven't seen it yet but will mail you when it arrives.

Comment by Louise Kiner on March 9, 2011 at 1:00pm: Hi Andy,
Mine should be shortly as I sent it off 2 weeks ago (from Canada). Keep an eye out for it:)
(I'm kind of surprised it's taking so long.)

Comment by andytgeezer on March 9, 2011 at 12:48am: Just want to say - 59 pieces so far! AMAZING!

Photos are up on the flickr site and I'll name check you as soon as I can

Comment by andytgeezer on February 25, 2011 at 10:40pm: Thanks Val! I'll get back to you by email Martha. Val thanks for your Penny Black story, I'll shortly be posting more pieces to the site.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on February 25, 2011 at 5:33pm: Val thank you for sharing, you are such a nice person

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on February 25, 2011 at 4:32pm: Hi! I'm interested in following the general trends of the Stories, but the ongoing saga between Andy and Martha is really something else (a Little little Story, if I may thus label it): Is there any way that the two of you can keep what is eseentially a personal dialogue to yourselves?

Regards, Val

Comment by Mail Art Martha on February 25, 2011 at 10:19am: hi Andy I got a collection of emails which I answered but as I read them in the reverse order the answers are perhaps somewhat odd. To recap: I can do all the April dates but May will be a busy month for me so I cannot commit there, at least not yet.

Comment by andytgeezer on February 23, 2011 at 2:52pm: Haha! Thanks for clearing that up Martha. I thought for a minute I may have muddled you.

Don't book the train ticket just yet Martha, I've just heard that they may need that slot on the 22nd!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on February 23, 2011 at 9:49am: and by the way your website is not a muddle; I am!
