Here is a gallery of some of the wonderful, amazing mail art that has hit my mailbox recently...

Jack of Cascadia Artpost has been generous to me this summer. This is the second in a series that I have received from Jack titled "Commodity Civilization," with some pretty astonishing collage work, and some of the most genius artistamps I've…

I'm a bit tardy adding my shower of applause that is deserved of Gina Ulgen for her magnificent Shakespearean mailing. What was it that Shakespeare said about lateness?

"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."

Oh...wait. That doesn't really describe me. I'm definitely a minute (or more) late with my…

I saw these beauties in the photo gallery when Dorina has posted them, and was verily impressed with them. And sweetness that she is, she gifted them to me through the mail. They are just as astonishing and lovely in person.

I had not realized, however, that they were REVERSIBLE! And on the flip side of each piece was a complete other…

This is FAB! With BLUE print and flower painting, too.

It is an A4 size, original art, so it is to be framed indeed.

And the envelope from Frieder is fun, too, great postage.…

A great envelope full of Nancy popaganada arrived from Angelica Paez recently. This is the enveloped. Inside was this politcal postcard:



Plus this sealed glossing of a classic Nancy clipping:…

"There's unparalleled beauty here." Indeed. This is a beautiful card, the blue is so peaceful and the circles, I love them. Wonderful quotes. I need to look at this every day. Thanks so much, Jan!

The latest from the Carbondale Duck. This one is way profound, kind of like a bacon double cheese half-pounder with extra jalapeno and strawberry jam. Richard, I don't believe for one second that your muse hangs out at the semi-golden arches. But I am puzzled about the three dots in the middle of your card. Is this Dada, Fluxus, or do my glasses need cleaning even more than…

What's not to LOVE about this little guy with his John Muir postage stamp?! I love the aged look of the photograph. I want to cuddle that bunny! And is that and 8 or the infinity symbol up top left. I'm reading it as infinity. Which makes the whole card very interesting and well, deep, if I may say. Thanks…

Wow! There's something so warm and personal about Debra's work. I just love this with all the textures, and the fact that the girl astronaut is holding a wrench! Marvelous. And that mailbox is shiny gold! And don't you love the lady's laughing face up top left?…

If there isn't a position with the City of Oakland for an official Mail Artist, there should be. Fleur makes wonderful pieces with photos of her city. I love what she's done with this one, with all the colorful "bling" at the edges.
