Hello MN. Gnome--thanks for the reinforcement. Part of the reason to question the e-mail is that it purported to come from Ruud, but the details of my app said that it came from Mail Art Martha--who would never attempt such a thing, I'm sure. So I decided to go to the 'master communicator' himself for an answer. The mystery continues.
Most esteemed Gnome! Your cow made my day,,, completely. The foot is nice, too, but lacks the sexy eyelashes of the cow. Great letter. Also I enjoyed the very thorough warning on the outside of the envelope. In spite of it all, I did open it and am so happy I did. You will be receiving something from me as soon as soon, although I am out of commission for much of July.
I made a comment about your description of April's last mail art to you, but I'm not sure where you will see it posted - on her page, and not yours, maybe? Anyway, I thanked you for your blow by blow description and photos.......fantastic!
OOOH lovely! Another fab package from MG! The envelope is impressive, the way you've drawn about justice and used ALL justice oriented postage stamps! Incredible! The crappy mini-zine addresses an issue that has long intrigued me--the single shoe beside the road. A pair I could understand, but just one? Your zine is a fascinating look into this neglected American problem. And I'm so pleased with the new glasses. I'm sure they'll improve my vision a great deal. Sharkie doorhanger? Going on the downstairs bathroom doorknob. I'll try and blog all this some time soon, but for now, THANKS!
Your gnomes have landed in the Space Coast. Thank you for the colorful mail.Loved the handmade paper with a secret gnome in it. Your mail art brightened my day .
Gnome, Your mail art package leaves me completely gobsmacked! I love love love what you did with the poetry prompts I sent--not enough that you made a add-on cut up poem out of them, but you illustrated it as well! The schoolbus, the baby on top of the car, and the house/jail at the end "[Just lock the door, it will be alright....]" The very honest plea on the inside to civic responsibility -- welll said. AND the little paper bag turned into a boekie with its own little bag--brilliant! And your envelope, the ephemera, etc. etc. Like the previous package from you, this all just blows me away--you are obviously so connected to this art and this work at such a deep level, even though you are often very funny. Good stuff. I'll blog it all in the next few days so everyone can see.
subway map-birdy arrived, complete with typed letter inside. That's really neat! Thank you. Keep on making and sharing in the post. Something coming your way soon.
Gnome, I received, without injury, my amazing mail art from you today! Hooray!!!!
Far from crappy, I think it's pure genius. It makes me laugh and I keep turning it over in my hands because there's so much to it! I feel incredibly honored to receive the original "finger tip book" -- which also makes me think "this guy is truly insane." But so are many great artists throughout history, so no worries. I love the "Methane Boekie" I did read all the way to the end, I think. Wonderful. I think you are what we so badly need in this world -- a cheerful anarchist! The piece made from Transit materials -- also genius. I want to check out the artists you credit in that piece. The envelope, too, is a gem. Thank you so much. I can't be snarky about it because I love it so much!
