Many of you know that I've been publishing a print magazine, several of the IUOMA artists have had their work featured in it including Eduardo Cardoso and Carina Granlund in the Winter 2012 issue. Matthew Rose and David Stafford were also featured in past issues. In addition to the print version, Un<>Cut now has its own website and I encourage everybody to go take a look! You can find it by following this link:…

Chapters 100 and 101 were received from Simon Warren over the weekend. I'm wondering if this is the close of a very intriguing, ambitious novella of words and drawings?

Simon, if you are reading this, thank you very much for 101 chapters of work. The effort and insight are much appreciated. I've written to you before to thank you but you've not yet responded. Again, if you are reading this, please feel free to write or exchange mailart. "Good on ya, mate!"…

A great piece from Jim SantAmour!

I took part in a soundtrack project called "1 minute autohypnosis" that Pedro Bericat organized, and he was kind enough to send out this object.  The package contains a CD disk with all of the participants' soundtracks along with an embossed image of a 33 1/3RPM record.  Pretty cool!  To listen to all of the CDs…

The final 6 chapters from Simon Warren's "12-12-12 End of the World Project" novella have been posted! http://ning.it/icE3aJ

Wonderful wonderful stamps created by Carl:

They're so gorgeous that I can't use them yet, can't part with them, but will soon--one by one.

These were also included--sent to Higgins, returned by Higgins?--and note more stunning stamps on the…

An intriguing photo collage from superhero!  He also sent information about "JUNKXUS" - check out his page for more about it.

A very cool collage from Katerina!

Today I got a really great piece of mailart from an unknown artist in the Netherlands. His message on the back of the envelope explains everything!

The image that he's talking about was a photograph made…

Ominous sighting in the Netherlands ...

A very large box with a GAGGLE of PEACE CRANES landed the other day. Thank you very very much…

Hi everyone, first off I'd like to thank all of the IUOMA artists who were kind enough to send mailart to me this past year. I very much appreciated receiving all of the exceptional work that was made.  Hope to see more of your work in my mailbox as I hope to send out work to you as well.

A big thank you to all of the artists who contributed time, effort and their work to the Peace Crane and 12-12-12- End of the World Projects.  Both have been a big success artistically, and it's been…

Thank you Katerina for this card and the beautiful white peace cranes that you sent!

In the spring of 2011, I received a collage template on plain letter-sized printer paper from the artist Oh Boy!  The instructions with the template were straightforward: add images and text to the collage and send it on to John Evans at the address printed on the template.  What follows on these pages are the collages I created; only the cover collage was sent to John…

Young Bella, who lives down the street, recently heard me talking to her mom one day about mail art...I was very enthusiastic as I described what it is...Bella, age six, never let on she had big plans for my mailbox...

Feeling blue, I spent the better part of a day last week at a friend's place. When I got through the gate at home at dusk, I noticed several little bursts of pink flowers adorning my mailbox...as I got closer, I saw two envelopes and a bag of goodies from mother nature:…

Recent collage that I submitted to the "YOU" Mailart Call.

I've thought of an idea that I'd like to share with fellow artists.  Perhaps each of us could make one origami "Peace Crane" which we could send to a contact person in Japan. There's a story that's told in Japan which says that if you make a thousand Peace Cranes, a person or persons will be healed.

They're very easy to make and you can find instructions on how to do so from dozens of websites. If you can't find instructions, send me a message here and I'll give you a copy of…

"my youtube non celebration" was created by artist Yannick Dangin Leconte (ydl) three years ago. At that time, oddly enough, he was thinking about the end of the world as we knew it.  Today, the video is still as fresh and relevant as when it first appeared on YouTube.
