Is it that time of the year again? Oh dear, time passes so quickly. I am going back to Alsace for a couple of weeks, leaving sushi and chopsticks behind and expecting some good old choucroute and sausages. And maybe escargots...

I would like to thank all of you for sending me such wonderful mail. These few months at IUOMA have been a blast, I met so many…

Look carefully to spot the basis of this composition...yes there are the lips puckered, and yet another face or two. But look deeper...beautiful layered effect! And there emerges Henri Matisse's "La Danse"! Amazing things coming from Jon! Many…

This title must sound rather puzzling to you, but let me try to explain. A few months ago when I just met Cheryl she asked me what (on earth) I was doing in Japan. I told her a little bit about my job which, in a very small nutshell, consists of drawing circles around mouse brain cells after they have been in a square or in a round box. A tiny drop in the huge sea of the research going on in the field of learning and memory. I think we are both fascinated by the way memory is encoded in our…

Mail-art by IUOMA member Satu Kaikkonen (Vesilahti, Finland)

December 18, 2010 - Satu Kaikkonen is a versatile and gifted visual poet who shares her work through the mail-art network. I put the word "techno" in the blog title because this beautiful piece Satu sent me is an excellent example of the work that is being done…

Angie's mail art is bright and always uplifting. The bold colors of the stamps pop against the white background for extra emphasis. Very nice. Thanks,…

ok I'm slow, this has been a couple weeks. Thanks Jon for the most interesting PC. (I like the writing over the woman's face) You can't tell from the scan but the trees and fire are made of many small pieces. …
