Mail Art 18: Backlogged and Behind Once Again--and MEETING an IUOMA Member!

[Monster A GoGo]

Hi there. I'm b-a-c-k from my extended stay in California---and have been overwhelmed with mail art chores since my return. Phew! But, once home, I jumped right back in. The break did nothing for me. My mail art is...the same tired stuff. Oh well. 

A hightlight on my trip south was the meeting up with another real life IUOMA-er! Ooooooo... The wondrous Tara Odorizzi was kind enough to give up a few hours on a rainy Saturday to meet up with me. How fab was that? I was so honored. 

ALL of the current batch o' mail art is in the link below (plus the --GASP!--unmasked photo of Tara and I). It's not for the faint of heart. (Or those easily lulled to sleep...) And if your name happens to be Ilya Semenenko-Basin, Luis Felipe Gomes, Coco Muchmore, Amy Kiessling, BonnieDiva, P. Landon, Ficus Strangulensis, Tara Odorizzi, Greg Diaz, and/or Melanie Reed and you want to be surprised by what appears (hopefully) in your mail box in the near future--do NOT take a peek!

The link is HERE: https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2023/02/mail-art-18-backlogged-a...  Take a look or don't.

CHEERS!

Helene!! How charming of you to pop on here and say hello.  Bon soir & cheers!

[Hélène LAGACHE]

What a pleasure to see you having a good time !

Golly, thank you, Maxima! I appreciate you checking it out. And yes, even though I am "retired" from mail art...I am still super busy with it. Argh! Cheers!

Another great blog entry! I’m glad you’re home safely and back to important mail art business.

Zack--- I agree with you. The universe does shimmer a bit when you meet a fellow mail artist. Meeting Tara was so wonderful. I've also met Amy Kiessling. Lucky, lucky me! Cheers to you! (A Frenchman saying "y'all"? Ha! I love it! Thank you for visiting my post--even though we've never had any interaction before. Nice to meet you.

Ilya---Ah, I see. HOPEFULLY the envelope I mailed you reaches you. Fingers crossed that it does. Thank you ever so much for the art card and poems (which i mentioned on my page and in the blog). So very kind of you. CHEERS!

[Zack]

thanks for sharing this special moment with the rest of us. y'all realize the universe shimmers a little bit more each time we mail artists make actual physical contact?

viva IUOMA and huzzah to mail art waves!

Hi Monster:

I loved the picture of the two monsters at the table, in the evening light. What expressive faces! I'm referring to the photo you posted here.
