Mail-art by IUOMA member Marie Wintzer (Saitama, Japan)

April 5, 2011 - A small group at the IUOMA discovered they were all fans of the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" and by extension the two versions of the movie…

A beautiful and delicate card from Katerina. Yes, in spite of all the things that happened and are still happening, hope is not dying out. Spring in here. Are we going to sit under the cherry trees and do hanami as every year? Maybe not. But then again, maybe we should.

I find this card to have quite a Japanese feel. Is it the ink, the symbiosis of paper and paint, the pure lines.... In any case, I love it, thank you Katerina, you have been such a great support in these…

Nothing better than getting a Haptic poem in the mail. De Villo's poem gives me a chance to contemplate the ordinary out of context and elevate it to new frontier levels, yet the fact that it comes in a baggy gives it an artifact-like presence. It reminds me of…

Mail ATC on the theme of May Day before May 1, 2011 to:

Artcite Inc. , 109 University West, Windsor Ontario, CANADA, N9A 5P4

Subthemes: artists as workers, work, labour solidarity, peace and social justice, trade unions (so this is not a call for supporters of the Republican party I suppose)

This is the first envelope I got from David, and it got me instantly curious. I am very fond of his stories, he is such a good storyteller as well as a talented artist. This one transported me into the world of a nursing home and I could just picture the scene so clearly. Residents at the nursing home being really tired and bored and probably upset but... you don't mess with nurse Dalisay, the flower arranging channel it shall be. Beautifully writen, and that TV, I don't even want to switch…

Mail-art from IUOMA founder Ruud Janssen (Breda, Netherlands)

April 4, 2011 - This hand-painted classic from Ruud Janssen, created at the close of 2010, came with information about the MAIL2MAASTRICHT call, which is ongoing…

I sketched out these cards while suffering through a boring day on the job. I started the backgrounds and finally got them done. I usually do geometric cards out of cut paper. These are the first that I've painted.…

Today I met Val's cats, Bianca and Trouble. Or at least I think those are Val's cats. Yes, they must be his cats... The postcard is quite cool, I have no idea which technique he used, it's hard to tell, but I like it. The back of the card comes with a drawing of a very blasé looking cat, in a very cosy looking home :-)) Great one, Val, thank you!
