<p>People get into the sub-cultures as well such as zines (DIY magazines on all sorts of subjects); visual and concrete poetry and asemic writing; artists books; stamps (huge sub-culture) and more.</p>

<p>Rubber stamps</p>
<p>I try not to send out slop, but it happens sometimes because the urge to create is there, but no real forethought. I don't like getting sloppy mail art, but I am of course understanding and forgiving. I know how it goes. I don't mind sloppy or crude drawings at all. I love them. I don't like painted…</p>
