Guido Vermeulen, Thomas Vinçottestreet 81, B-1030 Brussels, Belgium and thanks in advance.
This project is documented on http://friour.multilply.com (click on "jazz project" tag) and in a photofolder on Facebook. Exhibition will happen next year in a Brussels' jazz museum and club, an old railway station altered into a museum with bar and concert space, marvelous! Prices for concerts are kept low (6 to 8 dollars, incredible today!)

Hi Lisa,
Okay I'll mail you the painted envelope in December (cheaper postage rates in December, so to all Belgians who are unaware of this: in December but only in December the postage rates for "the rest of the world" are the same as the rates for "European countries".
My current mail art project is jazz and freedom. If you don't like jazz (possible) you can work on the freedom angle of the project.
Guido

The names were inspired also by an incident with a lady friend. Her name is Ann and she likes cats. So she reached her hand to the cats. I warned her, be careful, these are wild stray cats. It was during the period all of them lived outside and I fed them in my garden. One of the cats hooked one of her nails in Ann's finger. She was bleeding like mad afterwards but didn't mind that. She only said: "Guido, you have very disturbed cats". This led to the names of Tarantino and Uma. It was Tarantino that provoked the "blood bath" (hihi), for me a sign this cat was "reachable".
Stories and art work are also published on my personal blog:

MIAUW indeed. I named her "Tarantino" because she's completely nuts, to see as a compliment, she acts always "outside the box". She has a friend but that cat refuses to live inside the house, only comes to eat and then she's gone. I called that cat "Uma". Hihi
