i received Mail Art from William M

ah the danger of sending collaged mail 'naked'... i'm not sure if this was damaged in the mail, or if the viewer lost their head while taking in the "One Thousand Buddha Cave" (where is that?)... the artistamp - vaguely reminiscent of the infamous green scapulars that went around a while ago - DID get partially cancelled, and that official stamp of the pigeon carrier is adorable. i can't translate the characters on the masked man's hat, but i guess it has something to do with containing avian flu...?

thanks William; you should be receiving a hefty envelope soon if it hasn't already landed.
