Added by yves maraux on December 12, 2010 at 3:30pm — No Comments

It has been at the back of my mind for several years so it is about time I got it done. Not exactly a mail-art project more of a "collaborative artist book" project or some sort of mini archive which is why I thought I would mention it here rather than announce it as an "event".

For a long time I have been putting by odd stamps ... not just the occasional artist stamp that has come my way but anything curious or unusual ... stamps from made up countries, tourist labels and "real" stamps… Continue

On the wings of the wind - from Cheryl Penn

The wind has been bringing me fabulous things. Things that most of the time leave me speechless. It's true that mail between South Africa has proven to be anything but on the wings of the wind, but it is so worth the wait.…

The Facebook Luddite Society

Some time ago, on a whim, I created a group on Facebook called the Facebook Luddite Society. In the description, I asked people to send an SASE to:

Facebook Luddite Society

3625 N Cedar St

Scranton, PA 32174

I didn't want to use my address, or a real address somewhere else, so I intentionally made the address non-functional. That ZIP code is for Florida, and there is no Cedar Street in…

A Blog for BatGirl: The Crimson Giant Just Flew In

The final but not last chapter if the Crimson Giant Saga flew in on bat wings two days ago.

Elaine is asking some searching questions and drawing some interesting conclusions to The Crimson Giant. She used the word WHAT instead of WHO. By a process of elimination, he is not the alpha or omega, the be all and end all. ABSOLUTELY!…

An asemic island - from Karen Champlin

I commented on Cheryl's blog the other day about how much I like the asemic world and how much beautiful art was coming out of it. It's a strange feeling, something not unlike jealousy.
