From "E" in 2011

A lareg foam rubberstamp made by "E" in 2011 which I have been using for outgoing mail-art since then.

Incoming and outgoing mail-art october 2017

Another acrylic painted enveloppe that went to De Villo sloan (USA) about a week ago. The address was written with a thick layer of Indian Ink. To make sure it gets to the right P.O. Box I added the stickers for the Box, should be fool proof now. Will see it it reaches him.

Outgoing Mail-Art by Ruud Janssen - September 2017

Because the postal rates are quite high I don't send out that much mail-art anymore. But when I do send out something I document it, and I heve spent quite some time on the piece so the postage will be worth it.

Some of the envelopes go to Ryosuke Cohen for his Brain Cell Project. Just to keep the flow going and somehow I hope to be part of that #1000 , but #999 or #1001 would be good enough too. Quite an achievement of Ryosuke who has been sending out these Brain Cells since 1985 and soon will reach such a milestone.

what surprises do you expect?

Paul Tiililä (Finland) died last summer

Posted on May 14, 2021 at 4:00pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Hello Ruud! I looked at the list of members and found out that there is still a member Paul Tiililä from Finland. Sorry to tell, but our artist friend Paul Tiililä passed away last summer on 19.7.2020. We were living in the same place Pälkäne. This is why I know it exactly. Should this knowledge about his death be somewhere also on IUOMA pages? Best regards Anja Mattila-Tolvanen from Pälkäne, Finland

Message from a friend in Finland.

At 7:13am on September 10, 2022, Mail Art Martha said…: Hello Ruud, yesterday I uploaded the same graphic to two different groups: Mail Art concerning Ukraine and to Embassy of Ukraine. It worked fine in the first group but it got 'solarized' in the second. Further down you will see my homage to Gorbachev solarized also. I cannot imagine why this happens, do you?

I will try here again.

It did it here also! Help, please! just occurred to me that you may see it differently, withthe right colours.
