Received: Part I of Mail-art prints from Brent Leopold (Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, USA)

September 28, 2010 - In the expansive global community of mail-art, Brent Leopold and I are neighbors. I received one of my first pieces of mail-art as an IUOMA member from Brent. More recently, I saw some of his new prints posted on gail d whitter's blog (she's in Canada and a very interesting veteran of the legendary Vancouver poetry scene in addition to being a mail-artist). gail… Continue

Received: Cryptic post card from unknown mail artist (St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA)

September 27, 2010: A second installment of mail art arrived from my unknown correspondent in Minnesota. I've been waiting for an opportunity to say some small thing about cryptic mail-art (yes, I've joined the hyphen camp), as I think it is fairly unique to what we do and a definite part of any mail-art history I know. I only know a very small part of it compared to others here. I go first to Webster's…

Received: Mail-art and stamps from Sherri Ayers (Corona, California, USA)

September 25, 2010 - Like a number of other IUOMA friends, I'm working through and taking time to appreciate just a phenomenal wave of mail-art arriving. I received my first envelope from Sherri Ayers. In addition, to her art she included a very nice hand-written message and an invitation to participate in a mail-art poetry show. Sherri sends paint swatches. You compose poems based… Continue

A Blog Post for Bifidus Jones by Cheryl Penn The Backbone of the World

Mail Art received 22nd October 2010



I received one of Bifidus' beautifully quiet but intense collages as a contribution to The World is a Town Project. It is so well made it survived the journey to Africa with narry a scratch. Bifidus, it is beautifully integrated - anatomical text with mapping - the text and linear elements of the map and spine drawing are seamless.







I was going to call it - Is The World Spineless, but… Continue

A person's a person, no matter how small - from Deborah Davidson

A great piece of etegami arrived from Hokkaido yesterday. "A person's a person" is part of the oil spill series and pictures plankton swimming amongst blotches of oil. I'm very fond of Deborah's work, and I will proudly add this card to my growing collection, thanks dosankodebbie!

Received: Mail-art the way Mother Nature intended from Mim Golub Scalin (Richmond, Virginia, USA)

September 25, 2010 - I received a very thoughtful post card-size piece of mail-art from IUOMA friend Mim Golub Scalin that could possibly - and things are certainly open to multiple but all equally valid interpretations - make reference to a number of topics that have emerged here at various times ranging from vispo, to ripped collage, to shoes and fixing people's shoes. More of her… Continue

This site...

While I love being a member, I have not been here a great deal because I think this website is

such a tangle! There seems to be little order as responses don't follow messages, everything is

disjointed and maneuverability is tedious.

I've not run across a site quite like it and am a member of another ning site...int'l collage...which is not as 'busy' looking as this.

Nothing anyone can do about here...just needed to express as someone left me a message and

I found my… Continue

220 Never Say Wonderful Until... - for De Villo Sloan





Ain't Misbehaving is a movie from 1955. It's amazing how many American movies were aired in Japanese movie theaters at that time, if I believe the number of ads in those small Tokyo magazines from the 50's. Japan was still occupied by the United…
