mr. righter,

nothing is true, everything is permitted!

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any legal postal regulations about sending mail art and whether any of you have had issues or complaints about what is sent in the mail. Are there things the post won't accept? Do letter with faux stamps for example ever get questioned or rejected?

Cheers

ah, yes, Heleen, you are correct,

there are some members who have several accounts.

Well, it is still a milestone seeing the number and  who will be #5000.

We are quite a fun group! :-)

Almost 5000, that is exciting!

However, those are not 5000 unique members, I see several people having more than one account (some maybe start a new account after forgetting their inlog things, some because of aliases, etc). So when the Real 5000th member  will arrive, we won't know, will we?

My method-of-madness is to put incoming mail art as a "blog", were I like to show details as well. Then the mail art that I make is posted in my "photos" section, and I don't reveal to whom I sent it. There have been times, like Heleen said, when I will wait for someone to receive it and then post it at "photos".

On the blogs, I usually blur out my address, not that it isn't public on my page, but I often find that it distracts from the sender's lovely art on the envelope or postcard :-)

Message from Bruno in English (thanks to online translators):

"Dear Mailartist Friends, I would like to know from you, if you are also a web artist .. Or if you do not want to mix the mail art with the web. As I already wrote, I believe that the web is a continuation of the mail art.
A fraternal embrace [from Bruno Cassaglia]"

Bruno, parlando per me stesso, non sono una mail artista del web. Anche se ho scoperto il software di pittura del computer e mi piace, in arte postale preferisco i processi postali e le aggiunte da parte delle aziende postali. Come potrebbe l'internet aggiungerli?
Ma ci sono molti artisti della posta che sono diventati digitali. Li troverai anche qui! Saluti cordiali!

Cari Amici Mailartisti,  mi farebbe piacere sapere da voi,  se vi sentite anche web artist  .. O se non volete mischiare la mail art col web. Come già scrissi, io credo che il web sia una continuazione della mail art. Un fraterno abbraccio .

G'day Artful Writer,

Welcome at IUOMA!

Good question, you're not the first nor only who is wary of posting personal addresses.
About posting addresses there are no rules either, apart from that thoughtfulness might be appreciated.

About addresses on the internet there is an almost similar question/discussion, see

http://iuoma-network.ning.com/group/askanything/forum/topics/safety...

Speaking for myself, I prefer to post sent mail after the receiver has received it, so the surprise is kept for him or her.

When a mail artist has her or his address clearly written on the public internet (for example here at IUOMA or on his/her personal blog), I would post the mail art completely on my blog, though on instagram I usually blur any address, or I put a paper, with the written single word 'address', over the real address.
When the receiver (and also senders) doesn't have an address in public I sure will blur or cover it when I post the mail art in the internet or instagram.
