October 16, 2015 - My collection of work by Richard C (aka “the hardest working man in mail art”) is growing by leaps and bounds with the arrival of many…

Mail art by IUOMA member Mars Tokyo (Baltimore, Maryland, USA)

October 15, 2015 - Actually I am not sure whether to call this an accordion book, folio, pop-up or to continue to search for a better term. Maybe you can help, but…

Here is another Paris plage themed card by Dean Marks.  This makes me miss Paris so very much.

The transparent CD disk gave an idea for a new Mail-Art project... some new stuff might me coming up soon!…

Cascadia Artpost sent me this Map of Bananada.  It is so fun!  I could literally spend hours just reading through the map and all those funny landmark names.

The stamps are lovely.  This card actually holds an invitation to an exhibition in honour of Anna Banana.  Sounds wonderful, I wish I could visit it.…

I received this petri dish from the Diane Keys Family (I'm presuming it was a family affair because of the team effort implied in the sentence, "We grew a baby 4u: David Jr." I have learned from past experience with Diane's work that it is not a good idea to rush into the opening of packages lest spring-loaded trashpo bounty escape across the floor. So for the…

In compliance with current Vermont mail art statutes, Thom Courcelle has put a cow on his mail art. Thank God. I didn't want to be the one to turn him in. Looks like Thom is working on his hand-lettering. So am I. I'll send you something soon. Thank you, Thom.…

I've recently sent one of my Dada Poems to Katerina Nikoltsou, who added her own touch to the piece and passed it back to me.  This is what it looked like before:

This is what it looks like after the magical transformation.

While awaiting my 66th birthday I suddenly got sick with an infected kidney stone, got put in the hospital for 4 days, had my birthday at home, and now, 11 days after coming home I'm still not quite up to par energy and focus wise.

But I have received such wonderful mail-art since September 29th, I wanted to at least let everyone know how much I love(d) getting mail-art from many talented and friendly IUOMA people. I will surely be sending out my creations to all you sweet people…

I've just got a couple of Dada poems from my new Mail-Art friend, Helle Pollas from Denmark.  Two pretty pieces mixing painting and collage.  It is super fun to read!  I particularly enjoy the part that says "Run at... cupcakes".  I mean, sounds like a good idea ;)…

IUOMA friends, those of you, known and unknown, who have sent mail to my PO Box:

Unfortunately I learned today that my name was never actually put on my PO box, so it is due to a couple layers of mistakes that I have been receiving mail in it sporadically at all. The postal clerk said he would personally correct the issue today. I'll be pinging myself with a postcard this week to test it out.

If you got mail returned from my PO box, as of today it is supposed to be fixed. If it…
