"Thanks for your kind words about my grandfather's art. I always loved looking at his envelopes but had no idea how wide-ranged envelope art was until a few years ago. It's amazing. "

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:
Hmmm, been doin' weird things with mail since the early 70s, but only with friends/family until 1994.
My Website (without http://):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67195631@N00/
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
The usual reasons: it's truly democratic (if you ignore the poor folks who don't have mail service) and it is NECESSARY for my soul to create/share art in such a fashion. I can't quite put a finger on why I went from collecting stamps to making my own stamps when in my early teens thinking I was the only weirdo on the planet to do such a thing.

Hello Bradford.

Responded to your friend request. I'm also in the dark about Stephanie Q. ??? I received a postcard - so I replied.

I'm sending one of my hand made postcards to you now.

I see we had communications back in Nov. 23.

Hope to see a card from you .
