"Nice selection Francis. Reminded of how prolific he was -"
"Nice photo of Mark. He looks ready for business! He always found the coolest T-shirts - to wear and designed many - one of which I am wearing as the weather in the UK has turned very Spring like. I bought this "Bookshops Not…"

"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…"
"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…"
"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"

Hi Michael, I contacted the Special Collections department about it recently - but they are not open so I haven't 'seen' any of it yet. Another online avenue of exploration for me to follow up at the moment - I am stumbling along. I am very intrigued by the history and development of mail art. I didn't really know anything about it until I stumbled into it as a result of these lockdowns. It's one of those, 'curious things'.

- The emails were empty appart from a link. Also they say to come from Yahoo but the wastedpapiers address said 'damimas.com' All very strange.
I do not want to write to your Yahoo address in case it is compromised.

- Michael Good morning.
John has received two strange emails apparently from you . Their Yahoo adresses are wastedpapierscand wastedpapiersv
Did you send them? This is also strange as you and I have been recently communicating via Protonmail which is very safe. It is free with no ads. I do not use Yahoo anymore it drove me crazy with ads.
I hope your email has not been hacked

I love that orange dog!
I am also enjoying self isolation, we are taking it very seriously and started a week before the official date.
But I still have that I-cannot-cope-feeling. To think that some of my non-mail artists friends are bored. What is that? Do you know?
This is for you, from Retailia with love.
