October 22 - Ruud Janssen has released a new mail-art series featuring Fluxus words on hand-painted envelopes. You can see other examples here at the IUOMA and elsewhere on mail-art blogs.

Received: Mail-art and stamp documentation sheet from Ruud Janssen (Breda, Netherlands)

October 2, 2010 - Ruud Janssen, IOUMA founder and artist, is just the best in my book.
