Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I find that creating and exchanging mail-art provides an opportunity to combine personal interests in photography, art, and graphic design. But there is a deeper explanation.
Just like any artistic expression, artistamps reinforce personal self-identity by sharing a vision and ideas with others. I value the contacts and the content of postal exchanges over the years, and especially meeting a few of my correspondents in person. The interplay of postal services and the internet have created an opportunity for a network of global democratic expression among at least those who can afford either postage or have access to a computer connection. It is my fervent hope and prayer that our exchanges can also create occasions that help give voice to the visions and ideas those who are unable, for various reasons, to contribute to the network.

    Do you like sock monkeys?
  • Jennifer Kosharek

    No lap top... sorry. No LoJack. I'm a mac girl. So do you collect sock monkeys, make them?? I have no alter-ego... I'm just plain boring Jennifer. No thrills, no secret language or code names.
  • Jennifer Kosharek

    Format? Jpeg should be fine. I just hit the photos button and it pops up a browse button... and it downloads from any of a number of places on my computer... I'm a real computer genius. Don't know much about computers. Sorry that probably doesn't help much... but you already added photos so you must know what you are doing???!!! You know I sent your mail art to art exchange gallery--it was the address visible on the post card. IS that okay??? For some reason I thought you were affiliated with it! Then I saw your PO on here and thought... oops??!!! Hopefully your friends with the gallery and they'll give you your mail art... HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    Hi Jack,

    Thank you for your stamps, they are so beautiful! The envelope,
    I sended to you almost two months ago. I am very dissapointed at the mail service here. Not to mention that many times do not accept decorated envelopes...
    But you received this one! I am moving in few days, I let you know my new address.
  • Mirta Toledo

    Hola Jack,

    I receive mail without problems. My complain is when I send it, I was questioned because of decorated envelopes and also, it takes for ever to get to their destiny (when they get there...)
    Like I said, I have to move, I will let you know when I have a new address.
    Still, Mail Art is fascinating to me. May be because I have a lot to learn and also because is like a huge game with players all around the world.

    Your stamps are great!!!

    mirta
  • Mirta Toledo

    Hola Jack,

    one of my sons was visiting and I gave him mail to send because I could decorate and use the stamps.
    No costumized stamps here, the mail I send it to you was through the
    argentinian official mail post office. I have no idea what Unidad Postal means though...

    have a great weekend!
