Mail Art Martha's Comments

I agree

Absolutely right!

This cat is beautiful, especially because there is a lot of white on the sheet and the outline is not filled in with anything. As my teacher used to say: "a lot of white is a lot of air"!

I am inspired by the idea of combining the visual with poetry.

I've been conversing a lot with some old mail art friends on Facebook, trying to keep out of public groups after a bit of correspondence art hazing from DVS that sent me into a mental illness spiral. We've been talking about some of my old projects in private and so I'm trying to revisit a few of the (many) projects which people found most fun. I don't know if you're on Facebook but I started a revisitation of a project that used to be "Moan Lisa's Art Akademie," which has daily email art prompts and people can post their work together in the Facebook group and comment on, and encourage each other's stuff. The project is linked from artakademie.org, I dropped the "Moan Lisa" at Thomas Brown's suggestion.

Another project I'm bringing back is from my (in my opinion) most popular call for art, zombies. The original was inspired by my ex-wife's university professor who taught them a class on zombies, and I think it is one of the most accessible calls I ever made as far as getting the general public's interest in mail art to be realized. I think zombies are easy for the masses to relate to, whereas a lot of my calls have been more mail-artist-specific and not so easy for normal people to understand like asemic writing.

Anyways, zombiemailart.com links to a new Facebook group and I'll also be posting a group here in IUOMA for zombies as soon as I finish typing this comment :)

Cheers.

Dear Martha,

thank you for the art mail. I spent a long time trying to figure out how this beautiful cat was made, sleeping peacefully on the terrace ... Is it a seal, an engraving?

Thank you for your thoughts on time and for Banana Day!

Hello Martha,

Thank you for recognition my trashpo work.

Best regards Jeanette,

Sei una cara Amica, è bello dialogare con te! era nel primo pomeriggio, ma non sono sicuro.

le impronte ci sono, ma sono leggere, a causa della luce.

come avrai notato, ora lavoro su queste poetiche vicine allo zen... un fraterno abbraccio. b

Oh yes!

See me at this blog:

Hoping you can come to all the messages,blogs,photos, etc. here at ning, Martha. 

It seems that Mel Anie in the UK is also having problems...so very strange!

Maybe create a new account? Best of luck!!!

I agree with you. Don Luís Filipe, by the way, writes poems.

Aww, thank you and Vermina for the nice words. :)

Nessun problema Amica Mia!  W LA PACE FRA GLI ARTISTI E FRA I POPOLI!  un fraterno abbraccio , bruno

Ah, thanks, Martha, but no. I washed my holey love sock and got my delightful technician to sew it up all lovely so that I could mail it to that island faraway in the South Atlantic Ocean. And, as I am the girl who walks with a hole in her shoe, these socks will be a stretch too cold for me.

Somehow, somewhere! If you cut it in half - lengthwise - and stick them together, it will be Janus! You can submit it as a "self-portrait of another two".

Hi Martha, Trashpo Nuevo has put you bag in the mail art tabloids again. Best wishes, DVS
