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.

Thanks for putting the video up Ruud, I struggled against Internet dropouts for three hours last night trying to upload it.
I have a question:
What is the best management policy with my laptop battery? Do I keep it plugged into the mains whilst I am using the computer or should I run it from the battery until the battery is almost empty and then plug it in?
just thinking do you have a snail mail addy on Mark Bloch in NY city and when was the last folks heard from him..it seems in the last few years mail artists are getting misplaced lol or aliens are stealing them lol..keep smiling amigo
yup got it amigo..from another friend I have In NY..I was mailing to his last address and not reaching him..but I now have his PO box..thank you my friend..
Hello Ruud,
I am so sorry to hear about Jos. I know how agonizing that can get. I am a cancer surviver so I really know. You and your family have my deepest sympathies. I will get something off to him directly. Test
Caro Rudd,In questi giorni,mi darò da fare e farò delle cartoline con fiori per tuo fratello,lo farò con molto piacere con l'augurio che lui, stia bene,Auguro con tutto il cuore che possa guarire.Un abbraccio forte!!!
Dear Rudd, In these days, I give you to do and I will make cards with flowers for your brother, I will do it with much pleasure with the hope that he, being well, I wish with all my heart that can embrace guarire.Un strong! ! -domenico.
Oh! thank you, Ruud. I just return from Mendoza (West Argentina... the land of wines), and I found your message.
Congratulations for your poetry art work.
All the best!
Patricia
I will send with special pleasure a card with argentinian flowers to your brother with my heart for him. I was cancer too. Fortunely, supered. I know the situation...
Love!
Patricia
Dear Ruud,
Cd I promissed will be on it's way this weekend, can't get to the PO prior to that. Mother-in-law ill with cancer, my wife is in Florida and I have to rush home to let the dogs out to avoid any accidents. Once again sad to hear of your brother's condition, card on its way - it's a card I've had for 20 years waiting for the right time to mail.
Steve
condolences Ruud, veel sterkte to you and your family, last month we lost a brother to Alzheimers and another brother is also suffering from the same disease, we have to be brave and work our way through these tragic times. All best wishes rod and liz
so sorry.. ruud.. just before i sent the flower to your brother i was late.. but I belive my flower is now in the heaven with him peacefully..
best wishes..
Ham
condolences Ruud from the entire medwolf family..I also have sent a card to late..but in my card you will see that I have smoked my pipe and prayed for your brother in the way of my people and that I ask for the ancient ones to watch over his spirit until for ever has ended..
Woah! I just made a terrible mistake! Purely by accident I clicked on Sign Out and for ten minutes there I was out of the union! It means I lost all my vids and pictures and won't be able to replace them until I'm back home... that was a heavy experience!
Thanks Ruud, I was wondering what should become of the blog. It was a satisfying thing to do and I have become quite addicted to putting the photos up each day, I shall miss it. I have put your name at the top of the list of people who will get a CD of photos. You are not the first person to suggest it would make a book but right now I have to prepare for two exhibitions, one in Reykjavik and one here in Maastricht at the Bonnefanten Museum.
Are you recovering from your family tradgedy? I must go up to Meerlo (Limburg's Meerlo) and see how they are getting along with life.
My best wishes and greeting and thanks for letting me spill myself all over the IUOMA.

Cara Ruud, min vän, amigo - my heart is still holding you and your family. I was wondering if you have a picture or pictures of Jos (maybe alone, maybe together with you, when you were kids or as recently as you might have a photo) which you would share with us? When and if you have the time and the inclination - no hurry. Ruud>>
Also, I wanted to tell you that the letter you sent to me in February just today arrived! That's really slow, like the letter I sent to Hong In Young in Korea which took 3 weeks longer than another I sent to AnticHam just a day earlier. Sometimes the postal system, as much as I love and depend upon it, is mystifying! :)
Thanks so much for the stamp sheets and the big TAM sticker!!! We had fun with Obamicons, didn't we? :)
Hello Ruud, I had sent you our new call (Artistamps Sheets) for your blog, but it seems that it has not arrived...
I have also sent flowers to your brother, I wait that at least those they have arrived well.
It seems to have something unlucky with us, your envelope neither arrived never at El Taller de Zenon...
Just sent a thing. Had to DELEATE a Whole Paragraph,
due to the "RULE", of No More than 2000 "CHARACHATERS",
but can understand thee limitations of the Thing. Hope your
Brother goes to Heaven. I lost My only Brother, when He
was 21, & I was 25. All Gods Love to you.
