August 23, 2015 - The Tacky Little Pamphlet (TLP), a mail art staple, is an ideal vehicle for asemic writing projects. Certainly prize examples can be…

I just got this in the mail today. No return address, no note. I am a pretty smart guy, so I did some detective work and believe it's from res. A humorous and well-done altered postcard. A nice surprise, and really cool!

My first visit to my new P.O. box was not a disappointment, as I received this surprising piece of mail from Tammy Riggins. I remember commenting on her photo that the poem against the green background was beautiful--and she sent me a piece of it! I thought this was especially thoughtful. The face collage is simple and interesting, and the handmade envelope was…

This is the second envelope of art I have received from Moan Lisa/Maria Morisot. "Haunting" is the best word I can use to describe the work I receive from this artist. It is also extremely original.

This took a while to get here, but when I got it, it arrived in wonderful condition, thankfully. The envelope is handmade from some braille paper, border patterns, and paint. The card in the lower-right was inside the envelope. This is really beautiful stuff--both the envelope and the piece that was inside it are…

I got this collection of things from Samantha Althoff earlier this week. I love it all. The prints using dye-based inks are cool (at least that's what I think it is), the envelope is decorated with stamps of various types, and she also included a bunch of S&H…

So there was this "Anti-Brain Rot" project for the Roanoke Festival,

List of participants and a nice catalogue…

Besides the documentation for the "Anti-Brain Rot" show,

there came this TLP:

And most interesting "Meeting…

A reporter from western Australia, Christopher Lewis, interviewed me in 2013. He had used a piece of music I released using a Creative Commons license and was also interesting in talking my philosophy of releasing music in this way. The piece is called 'Sullivant'. This isn't about mail art specifically, but it is in the same spirit of collaboration and art as gift, which is of course very much in line with what mail art is about. Also, you can see what I look (and sound) like. I don't like…
