Diane was one of the first mail artists I ever correspondent with. She does not disappoint. A moody package arrived sometime in 2016, I think. I did not know there is such a thing as a black student's spiral bound note book. Did you know that these things are called "College Block" in German. One of many cases of fake English products terms in the…

Great Mail from Jon Foster and various goodies, stickers, comics and a poster - or is it an add and pass? I find it particularly brave and hilarious, that as a teacher, he produced stickers (and I think T-shirts, if I remember right) saying "I learned nothing from Jon Foster". It reminds me of a teacher I met on a conference, who wore a t-shirt saying…

David Stafford is another faithful correspondent, who has not given up on me, sending cryptic messages, despite my slow responses - sending an ampersand to the rescue of poor old x! …

A gorgeous envelope from Richard Baudet arrived this summer, with great textures, colours, calligraphy and many French ladies! Thank you so much!

Nancy makes these wonderful, and sometimes teeny tiny collages, small treasures to collect. I often wonder, what they would look like blown up to say 3x4 meters or so. These, again are from 2016. Thank you, Nancy!

Another Austrian Mail Artists I reached out to for the first time is Wolfgang Kuntner and his cabinet of curiosities (Wunderkammer). He replied with an envelope full of cool stamps and added leave…

Randomly going though my archives, here is a postcard from Torma Cauli, from Budapest, and given that Budapest is only a few hours from Vienna my closest mail art neighbour and faithful correspondent.

Cuan Miles often sends a tidy little package with postcard sized collages, smaller collages and even smaller ATCs. These are from two letters quite a while ago.
So far I have not been able to produce any ATCs myself…

Here are two postcards sent by Amalgamated Confusion, sent many months apart. I love the minimalist approach. Three word poems, referencing history and the future!
I only recently discovered, that I may be Keith who is behind the mystery of Amalgamated Confusion. Thank you,…

Opening up my archives, and posting mail, which I have received, but not properly acknowledged, because ... life happened. Here is a lovely letter from Alan Brignull from Adanaland. I admire the neatness and precision of his envelopes and subtle details of his stamps and artistamps. But is there some madness lurking behind ? This collage may suggest…

Johann “Hansi” Leschinkohl sent me a surprise letter and MEHL ART from Berlin, with a psychedelic marker drawing, which must have taken an insane amount of time to make, and a funny, black humoured story on the back. Danke…

I spent ten days this year in the mountains of Liguria, near Genova this year, and went to Portofrei man years ago! Thank you, Lorella, I will try and return something to…

Erni is still alive and well, even though sadly not at IUOMA any more. One day some mail art historian will have to uncover what really happened there. Here is his latest mailing, a large A4 piece, in unusual (for Erni) subdued colours. It says “brain or mind” in German - interesting serendipity. My son just graduated from the Humboldt University in…
