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!

PS Andy I was trying to work with my Bartletts into a collection of illustrated wisdom, but the cat had other ideas ( see facebook for pic ) and in true tradition I am breaking style once again!

Flippin facebook. I don't get it at all, but apparently the kids dig that sort of thing

Comment by andytgeezer on February 8, 2011 at 1:50am: Dewi I'm totally in suspense about yours. I've only seen your characters up til now, but I'd love to see how they develop into a story. Quite a challenge!

Comment by andytgeezer on February 8, 2011 at 1:49am: Weird is totally fine by me!

Comment by PostMuse on February 8, 2011 at 1:34am: I'm afraid my idea is a bit weird, but if it works, I'll post it here for you all to see. I know weird is okay here.

Comment by andytgeezer on February 8, 2011 at 1:31am: Just interested to know - what will people be writing/drawing? You don't have to give it away if you don't want to a genre will be fine for me!

Comment by Dewi on February 8, 2011 at 1:29am: I am working on a concept for manga month to get you a few postcards ... like the ghost story panel look!
