Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois)

Art Nation (Karen Champlin) sends me a second mailing - SANCTUARY - Latin text secured with brads to corrugated card. Marked CONFIDENTIAL - and sealed in a stamped and padded envelope (not shown), KC reminds us again the ART IS LONG, LIFE IS SHORT and continues to keep her prodigious talents at work. As I learn more and more about MA and contribute to the movement, I am bolstered by the work of KC and others - as we explore the various worlds, demands and needs of ourselves and others. BRAVO!… Continue

Mt Fuji, Good Luck and Goldfish Rubber Stamps

My first rubber stamps, Japanese style. I feel like I'm back at nursery school really, but making rubber stamps is so rewarding, totally worth that like bit of effort.

"Specimen Rare" Postal Stamps

Making your own postal stamps is as fun as it can possibly get. This one was my first attempt. I took a fake photo booth picture of myself on La PhotoCabine and turned it into a vintage stamp with a "Specimen Rare" label on it.

It took me a while to figure out how to cut them out to actually make them look like stamps. Not so easy, but I think they look quite decent.…

Trip to Jimbocho

The other day I came back from the "second hand books district" of Tokyo with a stack of vintage books and magazines for less than 20$. I could easily have spend my day in the shops. Of course not all the books were as cheep as those I have bought (and that are going to be teared apart for mail). Some of them are collectables that I can't afford and would never give a cut with scissors. But, oh my, what a gorgeous place it was!…

Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois) - Art is Long, Life is Short

Hand stamped and decorated package from KC - complete with Latin Quote for "Art is Long, Life is Short." Admirable work. The enclosure (on corrugated cardboard) is a wrapped stake of sorts - evoking a variety of responses. Hand stamped typography - "We…

Received: Mailart drawing from Kiera Pannell (UK and Quebec, Canada)

August 23, 2010 - Kiera Pannell is producing a series of post-card size drawings at a rate of at least one per day. Many if not all of these concentrate on heads and faces viewed from various perspectives. Perplexed by the identity of these characters I was seeing appear in diverse places, I emailed her and she kindly responded from Prague (she's…

Sent: Grigori Antonin "Big Brother" poster, Antonism cult kit, uncensored Grigster interview

August 19, 2010: After the unprecedented failure of "jade ar" followed by the unmitigated disaster of "decadence of jade ar," I am shamelessly exploiting the Ray Johnson is not dead (and he might be Grigori Antonin, Librarian on the Loose, or Richard Canard) mangled urban legend:
