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 Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on February 13, 2011 at 8:21pm: Time to make a little BIG story from Greece. It will be in the mail by the end of this week, Andy...well, maybe not just one :-)

Comment by andytgeezer on February 13, 2011 at 7:47pm: Hi Martha - thanks for contributing! I'd love to see your piece on the wall and to see you there. i won't be able to attend the opening (not sure what we're doing for the opening - any ideas) as me and Elena are going to be on our honeymoon, but would certainly appreciate meeting up with mailartists there for a Field Studies visit perhaps?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on February 13, 2011 at 12:33pm: Hi everybody, I am ready to send my story, after I decorate it with rubber stamps of course. Absolutely super project, I am looking forward to the show as I live very near Pimlico.
