Received from Valentine Mark Herman, France--A Bit O' Brueghel

I know people here at IUOMA give many reasons why they are involved in mail art--a couple of those reasons: for the uplift and happiness it elicits. Val's sealed envelopes never cease to express those qualities. A hat-donner himself, Val manages to find amazing hats on people in art. The dialogue is laugh-out-loud, and I get a kick out of the hand-drawn birds that always put in…

Mail from Michalis Kolsaris--Greece

Brother Michalis sent a beautiful work. I think the feather is a charcoal rubbing. Soulful. Is that Asemic writing. I leave those calls to other wiser members. Thank you for this piece, Michalis. A true gift.…

Peaceful mail from Marie Wintzer

I am lucky enough to have received a triptych from Marie. I truly love that it's asymmetrical. It contains a Haiku.

Dusk at the park, soon

A crack in the wood This piece is so beautiful, if it were in a store, I couldn't afford it. But that's

what makes mail art so damm amazing. The constant flow of magic to the

mailbox. I'm grateful for my mail-art friends. Thank you Marie.…

Received from Jen Staggs, USA--Saucy Earth Science

The postal service should give themselves a hearty round of applause for safely delivering this mail art--the paper is thin and old--what I would call fragile--and yet it made it its way across the U.S. with nary a rip. The handwritten calculations, stamps, and images are terrific. Thanks,…

A Blog Post for Brent Leopold. There's a Pig on My Head!

Mail Art Received 10th November 2010.

Brent's work arrived in a flourish - Prem the postman was eager to deliver this one! He always sits on my 'stoep' to drink orange juice because its such a long way up the hill. He's old and the walk exhausts him - but this time he could see what was INSIDE one of my exciting envelopes.

"Whats that on his head?" he…

I am not the red giant - from Cheryl Penn

When I found this envelope in my mail the other day I thought that Cheryl's book chapter had finally made it to Japan. But as I opened it clearly said "I am not the red giant". My disappointment wouldn't last for long though, because I knew I had an outstanding piece of art in my hands.

And anyway, it's well known that giants are not to be trusted. He says that he isn't, but I think he might well be The Giant. His face is beautiful, but I… Continue
