this goofy envelope - ha ha ha ha plop - contained an entertaining zine documenting William's responses to prompts from Mark Timmins; the final page is a snapshot of all the hand carved and found stamps William employed (his Oulipean constraint). really special; i feel privileged to have a copy.

+ two cool cards - 

William is so productive; he must live in a mail art monastery. 

latest stamps from Taiwan feature mail-focused Sanrio characters - ha ha ha ha plop

thanks for everything, Mr. M; i'll try to keep up!
