My Blog

P.O.Box 1055 closed

 Since Januari 2025 the P.O. Box I used for IUOMA is closed. 

All mail sent to this box will eventually be returned to the sender.

Seems P.O. Boxes used by individual persons isn't made easy and has gotten way to expensive. 

Also the domain-name iuoma.org will eventually vanish from the network.

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 Mail-Art on 29-11-2017

Test Tower (1953-2018)

Thanks to updated research from mail artist Kathleen McHugh, I sadly report that Ron passed away at home on April 27, 2018, after several years of illness. We last saw Ron in fall 2014. Those of us who attended…See More

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.

Hello,

Not Dutch, but Belgian. I've lived in Tokyo for over 30 years.

I can guess there have been a lot of changes, very interested to find out!
