Mail Art is a box full of surprises!

Pedro Bericat sent me an unusual piece... without an envelope, wrapped in a transparent adhesive... (I still don't know if I should try to release its contents from the inside or not...)

More surprising was his request for me to send him an audio! Okay, but it's not my usual language and what to send…

In December Juan gave us a Dada stamp, wonderful!

Other beautiful printings followed until now.…

Since last September we have talked about swapping correspondence, but at that time sending to Australia was not allowed. The only explanation I received at the post office was that since the pandemic the services had not been regularized.

In the meantime Claire sent me this lovely collage, with a warm personal note. A beautiful stamp is also printed on her envelope! Thank you Claire! <3…

Last Saturday the opening of the VI BIG exhibition took place and I was there.

I share some photos and the good impression of having met the organizers of the biennial, Coletivo 308. Very good people.…

Brazil is such a big country that sometimes even small distances are huge...

Therefore, it is very nice to receive a piece from someone who lives in a region so far away from where I live.

Thank…

I was very happy to receive my first one page zine from Carien.

A word was carefully pasted: transform.

It accompanies a message with good wishes for the new presidential election that was announced.…

With a fine and accurate line, Juraj makes his drawings.
I didn't realize it at the time, but when I was organizing them to photograph I noticed that there was a sequence in his narrative.
Thanks, Juraj.

I received another handmade envelope. I'm really enjoying this new possibility of creating my own envelopes with magazine pages. They are charming!

Inside, a lot of kisses and a serious recommendation:

What I liked the most was the artist stamp with the photo of Jan and his partner (so I suppose). …

Heide's correspondence makes an impact!

A multicolored handcrafted envelope purposefully conceals the authorship. When you open it, a beautiful watercolor with golden details and a zine pops out!…

What a pleasure to receive your work, Paulo, thank you.

In the same envelope, technical varieties and Portugal's first participation in my call. Who are we?...

I really liked the way you…

It seems I got a great deal this time... I managed to resurface in the world of the living, someone who said he was retired...

When I saw his correspondence here on the blog, I thought this B-horror movie aesthetic on his envelopes was fantastic, so it was natural to want to get in touch with the author...

Teresa’s letters always come bringing a deep lyrism.

I really like the delicace of her collages with family photos.…

Dear Amy, no words to thank your correspondence.

What a kindness message you sent. It seems that I returned to the past, when we exchanged letters between friends and family. Thank you for that.

I…

Thanks for the piece and the friendship, Richard!

I love collages, especially with texts. Your handwriting is beautiful!…

What a wonderful surprise! Receive the first piece of a Brazilian mail artist.

Patrício, I really appreciate your letter.

I liked every detail and your sense of humor, especially about our hermanos argentinos... and…

Unfortunately communication between Brazil, Russia and Australia is not being possible at this time. I will continue trying to send some piece to my friends there.

See you soon!

Dear mail artists friends,

I apologize for the delay in sending you some piece, but this last month I was with health problems in the family.

Yesterday I went to the post office and posted the first letters!  I hope you enjoy!

Next week, another delivery will be shipped.

Just be patient, please.

Stay tuned to your mailboxes:
