is Jack suffering from a weird strain of coulrophobia?

please don't die laughing, and get well soon!

cool assortment of Fake Art, curious cut-ups, and homemade eyeball etc. stamps. fascinating postcard makes Mr. Bagato look like he's not quite sure which dimension he's inhabiting (i often feel that way). and those 'ferret lessons' stamps are a hoot; honestly never seen anything quite like…

too many emojis to fit into an envelope, so... naked emotion?

[i was tempted to type 'mixed feelings', too, but these all appear to be exceedingly positive]

merci mon ami

nice to once again receive stuff from the Republic of Whimsy! the Tuxedo Bunnies, the clear lines, and bright colors of the simplified landscapes do indeed induce smiles upon receipt. note: this envelope features First Day Issue of special Jabberwocky stamp. thanks theo - stay proudly lower case, low key, and low…

it's always Flux Fly season somewhere on the planet, right?

thanks for sending them my way

this charming collage card answered all my questions - always great when Mail Art reveals the meaning of life ];-)

see you in the mail soon!

Juan is one of the most prolific, collaborative, and generous guys around. hard to tell from the photograph, but the central element of this card is a (transparent) slide image of a landscape; cool idea. and i've printed a mirror image photo so you can see what the (laser-cut?) rubber stamp reads. muchas gracias…

so it's a good thing she sent this card in a non-machinable envelope! the bottom portion of the landscape is actual floor tile, so it adds heft. also, a whole new depth/perspective; nice. btw, who is mysterious S. Mabray? is this collaborative, or does SM =…

midwestern artifacts + very nicely executed handmade cards. despite all those lemons, i feel like i hit the jackpot, as Peter is always very generous with his sticker love --

these will adorn outgoing mail.…

ha ha ha - the glue didn't hold! so this card arrived as a sort of 'make your own adventure' kit ];-)

is there a word for when this happens.... serendipitepistolaleatory perhaps?

gracias Mikel; see you in the Mail…

although i did not know this guy, i appreciate the remembrance card; such a nice way of spreading his memory around the world. it makes me think i should have a plan in place for my postcard... hmmm. 

'we are gnats inside the wind' 

plus 'furever' artiststamps featuring Sassy and Namaste; very cool. and from the "what goes around comes around" department, Coco's envelope features Cascadia Artpost's Ticket! Ticket! stamps based on ephemera i sent to Jack last year:…

thrilled to receive my first packet of stamps/stickers from... he who (adhesively) abides!

tour begins with Jimmy Stewart, tricky Dick, and Dean Acheson stamps from last century, and then veers off to collaborations with Gloria Keh, Adam Roussopoulos, and Musicmaster. the last course features two big sheets:…

love and lust and more from Taiwan!

'love amongst the cupcakes'

'transparent lust'

these are William's titles. as for the 'more', William also included a photocopy-booklet of some Cardboard Heads…

Fleur continues her mistressful documentation of street art in her burg (Oakland); this mural honors the city's Art Deco heritage. nice!

the envelope features an assortment of intriguing stickers (including one from dystatic) - …
