Received: Snooky's Halloween (Part II) mail-art (Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA)

October 31, 2010 - I saved what I think is the best piece of Snooky's Halloween mail-art for the day and evening of the occasion. Really nice holiday mail-art with the added bonus of Karen Champlinesque vispo included.
Great news that Snooky let us have a peak at his costume;…

The Crimson Giant and the Tower of Babel - De Villo Sloan



It's a story. And it's got (quite large) holes.

Sloan has comprehensively explained the "whyness" of this piece on Cheryl's blog, and as usual it was a very interesting read.

I know he is not happy with what he sent for the Giant and probably frustrated about it, but I think that it has actually been received very well by the people who got it, as far as I know. I find it very unique, a perfect… Continue

A dog that wags its tail... (coffee etegami) - from Deborah Davidson



"A dog that wags its tail doesn't get beaten" (I find japanese proverbs to be rather spot on).

Some people are so talented it's not even funny. Deborah draw this etegami with coffee, and it couldn't look more professional. I wish I had such skills... sigh...

And I NEED to find those ultra-cute Hello Kitty stamps!

thanks… Continue

The Crimson Giant and the Tower of Babel - Bifidus Jones



Cheryl's Giant being stuck somewhere between South Africa and Japan, this is the first page of the book that made it to my mail box. It must have been a very bumpy ride, because the envelope was badly torn apart (and not by a chocolate addict fluxus dog). With apologies from US postal service. That's too bad, I really liked the newspaper envelope, Bifidus.

This is great work as usual, I… Continue

Received from Lauriana Glenny, South Africa

In addition to enjoying the overall composition of this piece, I like looking at the sheer number of techniques and artifacts used to create this mail art. From the playing cards to the staples, this piece is wonderful. Thank you, Lauriana!

Binding Ties (dismembered World) - from Cheryl Penn



I was so eager to see what was inside the envelope that I slaughtered it, sorry Cheryl. I think I'll ask for a letter opener for Christmas.

:-o

Each of Cheryl's art books is a world in which I could get lost for hours. Even when dismembered (what she did with The World is a Town art book) there is still an abundance… Continue

Received: Music into mail-art from Austin Wills James (Dallas, Texas, USA)

October 27, 2010 - Most IUOMA members who check the photo galleries and blogs have seen Austin Wills James' distinctive mail-art. Last week, I received this regular post-card size piece that I appreciate greatly. Much of his work that I've seen achieves various expressive and tonal qualities using an overriding base in - I think - watercolor. The address side provides more context for… Continue

The first card from Michelle (6) to Valentine Mark Herman and back! Merci Beaucoup!



Michelle was very happy with TWO cards, she loved your cats. It touched her and one day she will remember this action...and let's hope she will become a member of the mail-artists one day! For Everyone who signed up in this little project...may'be you don't have any idea how big the impact is on the kids...they are soooo happy if the card comes back, others are waiting without any patience...almost they get angry with me if the card doesn't return…

Received: He's tanned, he's rested, and Grigori Antonin hits a home run (Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA)



The Grigster always gets the girl.

October 26, 2010 - Just when I'd given up - a spectacular and much-hoped-for piece of mail-art arrived, sent by none other than Grigori Antonin. I've been impressed by the "new line" of work he's…
