Comics in mailart

That's a good reminder

Rebekka:

  Thanks so much for the invitation! What a great idea: comics and mail art. Of course, I possess a few of your masterpieces. Have fun!

welcome to the group dear Duane,

perhaps you like to upload something you did aswell. for example in lynda barry style..

welcome, dear Aina :)

II was very happy to receive mailart with comic elements from Willemien. Comic elements in an add&pass and greetings on an old comic page with ady capp.

welcome dear Willemein and Kozy :)

Aina was so kind as to make extra mailart for the comic group. that's really cool :)

if someone has a "header image" for the comic group: feel free to send it. :) the formate should be square.

(don't know how it is called exactly, I mean the image next to the group description)

thank you dear Carien for the header image for our comic group! :)

a comic for the group and for next week's Mail Art News. Did I sign it? No. I almost never sign my work. 

a warm welcome to the new members and thank you dear Thomas for posting here :)

This will be going into a future half-page sized Book of Stuff.

mailart with comics from Willemien. Thank you!! :)

I appreciate getting different kinds of A&P's from Willemien. She also added in the envelope this nice comics panels. ¡Muchas Gracias!

a nice envelope from Carien with comic element...thnk you! :)

very cool idea - the mailart worlds in interaction :)

Thank you. Rebekah S. If you had not started this group I don't think I would have started drawing mail art comics...so thank you for that.

Mailing to Germany. 

In November there will be the 6th group exhibition Cucumber Art at Nachladen.

"This joyful group exhibition presents paintings, drawings, prints, small sculpture, comics, booklets by artists at home and abroad on the theme of cucumber and is a beloved Nachladen tradition. 

We would love you to contribute. Please send your art to Nachladen by October 14th 2023, or just drop off your contribution." 

No documentation, though, as it's not strictly a mail art exhibition

Hi Thomas, thank you for the information and inspiration!! ;D

Where did you find the infos about the cucumber exhibition? on the website they only mention the old ones. (I'm not shure regarding the size of the work to send in. If you don't know I contact them directly..)

A friend on Instagram told me. https://instagram.com/sternstundendeskapitalismus.  It's his show. 

For details contact tim@disinvent.de

Having been a cartoon / comics lover my whole life I have made a few pieces of mailart that dealt with such themes.  I am going to post a few I have sent out over the years.  I used to cut out the comic strips from newspapers when newspapers were worth it.  Here in North America newspapers are a joke, and a bad one at that.

Continuing with the comics theme, here is another piece of mailart that got sent into the Eternal Network.

Continuing with the beer coaster theme...

what a fun idea with the beer coaster comic. :)

Perhaps I'll jump on that train. Or it'll be a lemonaid coaster ...

comic themed mailart to iuoma member

finished a little comic zine and sent it to some iuoma members. it's about art supply that comes to life

It’s Saturday.  Time for another mailart comic.

one comic a day :)

28.9.-1.10.2023: Comic Festival Hamburg, for those who are interested and nearby:

Another Sticker Comics For mailart!!!

would be cool to print your sticker sheets. one could make a little galery everywhere with them :)

Willemien made a little cute bookie about women in comics for me. so cool! :)

what about doing a little one page comic collab?

I thought of a three or four panel (=frames) selfmade comic.

procedure would depend on number of participants.

duo: one person does the frames and characters the other person adds speech/thought bubbles

trio: s.a. plus one person doing backgrounds

...

style could be drawn, collage... 

don't be shy you can do it :)

characters can also made very easy e.g. a blob, geometrical form..

but I'm also open to other suggestions :)

the aim is just to have some fun and see what will show up as result.

What a good idea, I have been doing some comics mostly about a cat called Mailart Ali. Here is one of them. MailartAli has his own account in Instagram and it is great fun for me to do.

This is an old example, the first thing that came to hand. It dates from the time of the lockdowns because of the pandemic

cool! Thank you for posting Martha! So you would do a collaborative comic?

Perhaps we find some more people to join..

thank you Willemien for the comic-mailart!! Also for the comic-ATC..I really like the post-stamp-combination.  I will send you some mailart the next days.

Such a good idea, Rebekka!

I love comics!! (and I love ligne claire drawings). So I would like to join :-)

Though to some personal life tasks I am a rather slow responder at the moment (there are still people here at IUOMA to whom I owe one or more mail art replies..). Hope that that is no problem for you (and I expect to have more time at the start of the new year).

no problem! :) mailart = slowart :)

cool, so we are 3 people at the moment. If it happens that we are more I would make a little zine for us with the results. :)

I open a thread for this in the discussion forum here.
