Thank you Ed Giecek

Mail art from the USA.

Envelopes came in the mail from Ed Giecek, who has been involved in mail art since the early 70s. I recently learned from an interview that Ed has worked as a baker for a quarter of a century, has baked many chocolate cakes, and is also a big Bob Dylan fan. Ed's mail art is usually made in printmaking techniques, he also decorates envelopes with watercolour drawings and generously sends out his own stickers. What you see in the photos is printmaking or brushwork.
