A true original. So sorry to see Mark pass.

Comment by Angie Naron yesterday

Michael, thanks for inviting me to the Mark Pawson Mail Art Superstar group. Although I have been a mail artist for many years I was unaware of Mark and his amazing works. Thank you so much for posting these pieces -- a  wonderful tribute. And I am very sorry for his loss to you personally as well as to the community.

Yes, a shock for all who knew him I'm sure. We didn't believe it at first - thinking it wast was a terrible mistake or a prank or something.  Far too young and so many more little books and stickers and badges to make. Life just isn't fair!

This was a shock – Mark was ubiquitous, whenever I went to a small press fair and knew nobody else, he was there. I've had one of his badges on my print overall for years

Mark on one of his small press fair outings. I think this was in Bristol back in 2015.

Mark and his "Goggins"  ( or are they Noggins?)  collection at the annual table top museum in London.

Some of Marks work being sorted for the "Curious Things" exhibition we did in Manchester in 2020.

Very sad to learn of Mark's passing . he was far too young - only 60.  I bought a T-shirt from him recently and haven had a chance to wear it yet as its been so cold. But I am wearing one of his badges.  Here's a few photos of visits he made to our flat in Lambeth Walk back in the 80's - during the great surge in mail art activity in the UK.
