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

Project curated by Susan Gold.

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!

Looking forward to going to the mailbox tomorrow!

Sent to the Mail Artist Jon Foster (Winston-Salem, North Carolina-U.S.A.)

Our most recent Mail Call Day was Friday, so I'm catching up (again). I'd traded before with Skybridge Studios and Marguerite Keen, but never before with Susanne. Suffice it to say, her sleek and sophisticated work is more than I could have hoped to receive. It recalls japanese art with its simplicity and taste. Come to think of it, even her colors on the front of this work evoke thoughts of Japan's aesthetic tradition. Gorgeous, really!!! And her gift stamps are overwhelmingly…

In my mailbox on Friday were these 2 wonderful postcards - from Dosankodebbie and Marni Zainodin. Thankyou both very much! Debbie's is a hutch full of rabbits running about, and Marni's a lovely colourful watercolour rendering of tropical flowers and pattern. Lucky me!…
