Il y a une heure, Monsieur Martin est arrivé en Utopia où il va passer quelques jours avec l'Ambassadeur "E". Il est parti de son domicile chez "I'm a superhero" (USA) il y a peu pour aller à la rencontre des mailartistes à travers le monde.

Après quelques étapes, il arrive directement de chez Valentine Mark Hermann, à Sigean (France) et a traversé la France en quelques jours pour arriver à Guivry (Utopia-France).

Monsieur Martin va profiter de notre climat tempéré, visiter la…

Today…

I have three of these, one i've sent, one waiting to be sent tomorrow to Strelnikov, and one last one which is waiting for someone special to take it in. So i was quite surprised, and confused when this arrived from Limner in the mail today, wrapped inside some kind of medical bag! Like minds I guess? hah!!!

Mail-art by IUOMA member Roberto (Humacao, Puerto Rico)

June 30, 2011 - I have followed Roberto's art posted in the IUOMA gallery with great interest. So I was very happy when he signed on to contribute his work to the…

Ether is one of Cheryl's favorite words, and after meeting it several times in our conversations I became fascinated by the concept behind it. Ether is a word that is so multilayered that it is impossible to simply give one definition of it. This word needed a book! We started exchanging chapters for it, in an experimental "let's see where this goes" kind of…

The first painted  envelope with "Sweet Dream Buddie" arrived with a note saying that a larger one was on its way. Guido also has a very distinctive style, African yet South Oceanic symbolic work.

The second large envelope was rained on so a bit tattered at the edges with the paint smeared, but as Guido said it was a great collaboration with the Rain God..... Thanks for these Guido!…

Karen's distinctive characters with their naive quality never cease to please me. All her cards are painstakingly handdrawn, painted, or printed using so many different techniques, they are wonderful and I am always glad when her envelopes arrive in my postbox. Thanks my friend.…

Another little Vintage gem arrived from Karen, beautifully made. Thankyou Karen, I love your work.

Not so long ago…

June 29, 2011 - Diane Keys (DK) sent me a nice mail-art package covering the current grocery list craze, gender roles, and (above) a pic of some very appealing shoes,…

I was rather puzzled by this card when I opened my mailbox and had to actually ask David if he was sick and dying :-))

I was relieved to hear that all was well for him. After reading his message I thought that he had indeed sent it to the right person. Some people think about death much more often than others do. About the constant threat that is lying upon…

A new photoblog started at the occasion of a mail art workshop on June 4, 2011 at the Espace Wallonie in Brussels. While Bernd Reichert and Reed Altemus were at the artist book fair in Mainz, Germany, I participated at the collage mail art workshop proposed by Inez Oludé da Silva and Mario Villaggi. This workshop was one of the 5 that took place during the exhibition 50/50. Mario became 50 and invited 50…
