Catherine sends New Year's Wishes - yes i'm still way behind with blogging incoming mail - and a delightful assortment of printed matter. i'm in awe of the prolificacy of Luna Bisonte, not to mention the funds required for so much color printing. i like the chalkboard drawings on the cover of the bookie "Root Soup" (a pithy little story by Jennifer Weigel,…

ocular proof - Jokie finally made it to the National Postal Museum (part of the Smithsonian); on the postcard's other side, he printed a peck of purple peppers. i do hope the US Postal Service does not become a relic, as happened recently in Denmark...…

another fabulous collage from Ms. Reed; this one is titled "Rise II".

oh and the envelope is pretty fabulous as well!

{interested folks may wish to visit the "Melanie Reed…

more (hidden) EAT ART!-themed cards, including a Cerealist work.

who wants mail?

i'm guessing those are postal receipts taped together to form the background of the collage. added bonus - two ATCs, one of which features Mindaugas's signature spray drips.

and speaking of signatures, this mailing also contained a whole posse of robots/superheroes/transformers created by Zygimantas -…

this heart-warming packet came in closer to the beginning of the year; please forgive the delay in posting!

new year's wishes accompanied by a fantastic assortment of paper goods -

always a…

a postcard in honor of Steve Willis, Cascadian zine artist; too bad it suffered some postal damage ]:-(

there's not a lot out there on the web about this guy, but i did track down this old article:…

belated thanks for the new years' wishes! and WTF is totally right on ]:-(

Peter is not only talented, but generous too - there was an envelope inside the envelope -

- filled with…

bonus edition of La Vie secrète des Mots - felicitations Pascal; 20 editions - tres impressionnant!

Rani sends along an impressive (potential Add-and-Pass) Bookie full of stamps and vintage paper-phenalia -

i'll (eventually) do my best to continue decorating and send it along to ...…

well Hello Dolly! and the second postcard is simply Divine!

William's compositions are always impeccably executed, and his envelopes always feature funny washi tape and colorful Taiwanese stamps -…

actually, this appears to be a collaboration between Wolverine and Deadpool ];-)  the funny thing is: a copy of the postcard she sends has been sitting on my overcrowded bookshelves for a while now - i believe i picked it up at the Carreau du Temple years ago...

so who is this mysterious Aude/Laure? and does she really live at…

wow! 

pretty sure this is the largest piece i've ever received (even larger than Mike Dyar's constructions) - i've included that sports water bottle as a reference point. fantastic!

and of course Zygimantas contributed, too --…

the master of naked mailings sends along two fantastic (and thick!) collage cards (these are both-sides-now shots). i love those multiple images of our last meet-up - we look almost as happy as those two guys on the upper right card. it's time to get together again and produce some more collaborative mail art! stay well till then…

another fine assortment of imagery from Sabela, who appears to be (almost)* totally mended from her recent injury; check out the bottom row - flux fish and flux fist! gracias mi amiga.

terrific collage card from the mysterious Maria Q from Argentina; yes, sometimes the journey goes beyond the map, and sometimes the map goes beyond the mount... gracias por el recordatorio 

maybe it's a very hungry turtle; what do you think?

the other side of this delightful card features (flux)fish cut from the same marbled paper.

are William's hands ever still? i wonder...

so crisp so clear! and it's always fun to see a new rubber portrait ]:-)

grazie Cinzia

such a great composition, in every which way... thanks CvH xo42025
