The images featured herein are from a project I've been planning for some time. Tomo securities started as a joke in 2007 when I was found to be living in my art studio by the other members of the group. One of the rules outlined by the landlords was 'no living in the building' - a nineteenth century warehouse of a very far from residential nature. However it is quite acceptable for someone to inhabit such a building if they in fact providing security, and so Tomo Securities was created and began to inform the direction of my artwork. Often commenting on (or providing an alternative to) the seedy and corrupt nature of the usual security industry, based on aggression, bravado, and possibly even - insecurity?
It is my aim here to invite people worldwide to join Tomo Securities, after downloading and posting a recruitment form, I shall endeavour to send you a small A4 hand screen printed poster which you can attach to your property to show you are protected by Tomo Securities. All information is right here on my website:

I hope you enjoy.

“maha". Mago usualmente denota aquele que pratica a magia ou ocultismo;
no entanto, pode indicar também alguém que possui conhecimentos e habilidades
superiores como, por exemplo, quando se diz que um músico é um "mago dos teclados",
pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

Crime doesn't pay! (Or so 'they' would have us believe)
Does Mail Art?
And now I have put up the poster on the front door, you may say the gateway to the United Queendom of Retailia. I am waiting for the comments of the common people eg; non mailartists. Here is a photo to prove it.
I am sure it will stop a few thieves on their tracks. Thanks again. I am working on something to send to you, slowly.
Oops! forgot to tell you I have blogged your piece.
Thanks for the magnificent print Tomo, it was worth the wait. Even doing less involved artwork it is difficult to find the time no wonder it took you a bit longer this super work. Unfortunately the gallery burnt down as you may know but still I have a house full of valuable Mail Art. I shall stick your artwork on my front door which is glass and wait for the reaction. Should be fun, my family/friends/neighbours ignore my mailarty inclinations, with the kind smile they reserve for children and fools. You see, I do not sell it so it couldn't be art. I have two suporters though, my husband and the postman. The last is proud of it, I think, it makes his day.
Great! but don't hurry please with the package because I have the house full of relatives until the end of May. Nice but too busy no time for myself.
Hey Tomo; welcome to the network!
Tomo, this is a late but friendly welcome to The Eternal Network from a celestial mail artist living in … guess what?...of course in a heavenly corner of the faraway Universe called Republik van Patland. A perfect start here is mail-art exchange. I would like to be the other end on your very beginning at IUOMA when you decide it’s the right time for you to start trading art. If it’s the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:
The Celestial Scribe
Caixa Postal 24827
Curitiba-PR
80510-970
Brazil
II look forward to see your piece in my terrene mailbox. Yes! I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is a celestial promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Envelope Provider.
