i received Mail Art from P. M. Wilson

hidden inside the vintage postage and postcard...

...i was surprised to find two DADALand eggs!

(can you spot 'em?)

i like how they have been camouflaged into the three cheese egg bites and birthday cake brownie; so apt ]:-)

nice work sir; thanks!

Comment by Zack on October 4, 2023 at 2:02pm: ok; this is a little confusing.

i'm guessing that your first comments refer to PG - you couldn't have been corresponding with DE in the late 80s as he died in 1977. (although stranger things have happened in the mail art world, right?)

i crossed paths with PG during the days of Stamp Francisco (90s?) - that's where i originally met Ruud, in fact. was not aware that he used Dadaland as a pseudonym. more edification; love that!

Comment by William M on October 4, 2023 at 11:22am: ha ha. well, it was one of his monikers. i sent mail to him under it in the late 80s. not making the connection between the two until much later.

there's some good books on donald evans that are worth checking out.

Comment by Zack on October 3, 2023 at 8:25pm: the 'Mangiare' stamps are by Donald Evans (1945-1977) - 'a witty and whimsical artist who put his whole life and everything that interested him into the stamps of his fantasy world'. new to me. just more proof that Mail Art can be edifying.

as far as DADALand, check out 'the mission' here:

i think PG must be part of the other dadaland ];-)

Comment by William M on October 3, 2023 at 4:47pm: that first picture reminds me of the artistamps john evans made. dadaland as in picasso gaglione?
