i received Mail Art from Mark Johnson

Mark sends two squares and a rectangle (an old 'Esquire' cover - and yeah, once you're in the soup, it is definitely hard to stay buoyant for long).

i have a feeling like i should recognize who that is in the drawing on the envelope; maybe someone else can clue me in?

as for the anthology artwork, looks like FOUNTAIN #2 by R. Mutt. now…

i received Mail Art from Monster A GoGo

oooh! sadly, this terrifying envelope arrived missing a few letters (see what i did there?). i checked to confirm my hunch that this should read "cannibal circus" and not something else.

i love that halloween appears to be your groundhog day, Magogo (can i call you that?)

i received Mail Art from MomKat

spring-time tidings from Greece! because we appreciate the shape, some of us still use CIRCLES to measure/mark time. Laurie Anderson asks "is time long? or is it wide?"

thank you Katerina for this quirky distillation.

this picture was taken in Vaxjo, Sweden in 1985. sad to feel the rightward tilt there lately.

i received Mail Art from Ruth Giles

toes as tar, alchemical eggs, and that reassembled face! (makes me think of 'Ex Machina').

yeah, some kind of revolution is taking place (with AI, it's beyond just digital now- cyberborg? cobot?).

the 'hot button topics' postcard made me curious... i learned that Magaluf is on the Spanish island of Majorca; Mail Art is educational. thanks…

thanks for this lovely stuff: a nicely-embellished copy of "Detour" by Riikka Sormunen, along with a collage card and a set of Year of the Rabbit stamps (which appear to be hand-perforated; wow!)

this stand-alone "Butterfly Wearing Oxfords" will be right at home with the cigales of Provence; merci Mark.
