Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:: 1980

My Website (without http://):: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruud-Janssen/126853977330127

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:: I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

At 5:52pm on February 23, 2022, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Hello Ruud,

I hope you are well and have survived all the Covid waves.

I have been sent information about the 'Mail Art Wave 2022', and am unsure what to do about it, and so would like to hear your views on it.

It seems to be some sort of rival network to IUOMA -- to which my first loyalty lies.

I could join in the 'wave', but not if it is jeapordises the position of IUOMA in the Mail Art world.

With that, I wave, and say, goodbye;

Regards, Val

Since last week nearly all the illustrations are gone again and I tried to open IUOMA in my phone it told me the site was 'unsecure'
In My Photos Album 'Heeeeelp!are the screens I got on the phone.
This is the only way I managed to contact you. The symbol to attach graphics to messages has gone too so I could not attach the photos here. It worked two days ago even if the photos did not.Is it only for me?

At 6:04pm on January 31, 2021, Mel Anie said…: Hi Ruud, I tried to use other devices. Same problem on phone but on another laptop it can't connect to the site. Says IUOMA ning is taking too long to respond. All other websites are working fine so I don't think it's my internet either.
