Received from Coco Muchmore—Great Encourager and Champion of the Power of Mail Art

[Thom Courcelle]

Coco is a great creatrix of the Artistamp form. Here, she muses on "The Fate of Kings" ...and well, gee... it doesn't seem to end too well for too many of them, does it??!  Perhaps a helpful notation for those with monarchic-totalitarian aspirations of power and who wish to be kings themselves in our modern era. SOUNDS CRAZY, I KNOW.... WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DEMAND SUCH A THING???!!!

Coco has also been trying her hand at the past-time of propaganda—but in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE, because her propaganda sheets all encourage the citizenry to participate in the ecstatic performance of MAILART!!!

I can hardly believe how creative this was... It's just sheet after sheet of headlines ripped from the media with the direct subject of each headline replaced with the word "MAILART".  That's brilliant!!!!  Although it now seems impossible for me to read a magazine or a newscast headline without trying to replace each direct object with our favorite form of artistic expression!! MY LEISURE READING EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN RUINED!!!  (In a terribly fun way, thank goodness!)

Thanks, Coco! Your encouragement of the artform is noble and appreciated ESPECIALLY in these times of necessary resistance. Keep up the good work!!
