"E" est mort, vive "E"!

P.O.Box 1055 closed
Since Januari 2025 the P.O. Box I used for IUOMA is closed.
All mail sent to this box will eventually be returned to the sender.
Seems P.O. Boxes used by individual persons isn't made easy and has gotten way to expensive.
Also the domain-name iuoma.org will eventually vanish from the network.
From "E" in 2011
A lareg foam rubberstamp made by "E" in 2011 which I have been using for outgoing mail-art since then.

Profile Information
- Mail-Artist since:
- 1980
- My Website (without http://):
- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruud-Janssen/126853977330127
- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

Hello,
Not Dutch, but Belgian. I've lived in Tokyo for over 30 years.
I can guess there have been a lot of changes, very interested to find out!
