This incredible collaged envelope by Stuart Charlebois arrived today. He writes that it is hard to send work away when it comes out right, which is a familiar feeling and makes me all the more grateful to receive something like this.

February 10, 2017 - If the contemporary mail art world actually has leaders, Picasso Gaglione would be one. At a minimum, if you are not familiar, he is a major figure…

My first mail from Wilko and I love it. It's hard to tell in the scan but it appears the faces were drawn on top of masking tape.
