August Mailart Exhibit at Half-Price Books

April 20, 2025 at 6pm to August 31, 2025 at 8pm

Every month the bookstore I work for tries to have a “featured artist” showcase in an area by the front registers. I asked my boss if I could curate a mailart exhibit and he seemed really intrigued by the idea. I’d like to surprise him by having all of the postcards sent here. It is a bookstore so if you have an idea for a literary postcard that could be cool but it is not mandatory. I will request August for the month to exhibit what is sent in, so last day of July will be the final day to accept submissions.See More

"jon, Yes, I dig! I've read your earlier postings about collage work and sandpaper. When you mentioned the "happy accident" of the sanding block presenting itself for your use, the first thing I thought about was Ray…"

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:: Hmmm, been doin' weird things with mail since the early 70s, but only with friends/family until 1994.

My Website (without http://):: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67195631@N00/

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:: The usual reasons: it's truly democratic (if you ignore the poor folks who don't have mail service) and it is NECESSARY for my soul to create/share art in such a fashion. I can't quite put a finger on why I went from collecting stamps to making my own stamps when in my early teens thinking I was the only weirdo on the planet to do such a thing.

My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail): Bradford
PO Box 676
