Mail art by IUOMA member Meeah Williams (Brooklyn, New York, USA)

October 31, 2015 - I am confident this Tacky Little Pamphlet (TLP) was created by Meeah Williams and that it contains her verse. Nowhere in the pamphlet nor on…

Mail art by IUOMA founder Ruud Janssen (Breda, Netherlands)

October 28, 2015 - Receiving mail from Ruud Janssen is always an occasion, and the missive blogged today is no exception. The envelope contained a diverse array of…

Muchas gracias Antonia Mayol por tu Arte Correo y tan hermoso mensaje!…

Mail from Richard C. (USA) , sent out on 16.10.15 (Ray J.'s birthday) and received in Breda on 28.10.15.

Mail still travels fast from the USA to the Netherlands. Only the postal costs have gone up quite a bit. I took the parcel from the postal office in the historical centre of Breda and already took a photo of it while walking back home....…

That's right kids, I found a giant box and I'm going to tell the story of the art and share all of it with you good people. Please follow along with the blog I've just created to see this really long journey. Thanks so much for your interest. This is just the beginning.…

Helle, always delivers her special brand of mail art. Her style is immediately apparent with all those wild vibrant colours and wonderful circles.  Thank you so much Helle! It was a delightful package to receive after a very long journey from northern Canada.

When I was going through my mail art pieces, I came across this stamp from Juana and wished I had shared it before. So, here it is - a blog post devoted entirely to Juana's stamp. This is about 1 inch in diameter. 

I received this card from Helle Pollas the other day. The card came in somewhat dented and damaged, and I was not sure if it was intentional or if it was due to a "collaboration" with the international postal system. In any case, what I received was a piece with a glamorous (and tragic) star contrasted with discarded/found elements ("trash"?) and paint splatters that…

I received this wonderful collage postcard from Stephanie Dodson the other day. It was the first thing I received actually in the PO box following the fiasco I mentioned earlier. And I loved the surprise! Very interesting and creative use of color, text, pen, etc. I hope to received many more works from Stephanie in the future, and I will definitely…

The two postcards above were received from Jan Hodgman. They are asemic in nature and the last is specifically conceived of as a minimalist/post-minimalist work as well (I never know which term is more appropriate nowadays).

Here's a bit of…
