Welcome Jennie!

You are just too cute! ("Why I am involved in Mail-Art") How is the book coming along??

Hey Jennie !

Thank for your friendship

Maurizio

No Jennie-chan, Reed-sama was referring to K14 (all about xerography) that I hope to finish before xmas so I can scam tons of free copies at my university. His essay is very, very good. I'll send you a copy if you send me a xerox of your heart...

Awesome, I'll keep two eyes on the postman. In fact yesterday we had a postman sub... young and fresh... (Don't tell my husband...)

thanks you're very kind.

Yes darling, I got your beautiful card a couple of days ago. As we say in Italy, "class is not water" (Italians are notorious wine lovers...). How the hell did you make it?!

that is nice to hear Jennie .. did you get it from John Held?
on my website you can see all books from this collection.
best wishes

Litsa Spathi wishes you Merry Christmas & a Happy 2009

....and a Happy New Year. I lived in SF for many years. I miss it. Are the Pods still making a Mail Art Book? How is that going?

Hi Jennie
Thank you very much. Something will go for you next week, after the holidays. I saw that you like origami.
Best.

I lived in SF on Sutter and then Bush from '76 to '85, when I moved to San Leandro, but still hung around there pretty much till about 2003 when I moved up to Washington State. I still love to visit there. My Dad used to live on Haight St. so I had my share of the unusual as a teenager in the sixties and early 70's there. By the way, did the (ahem!) mail art I sent to Podville make it into your book? Just wondering.

Here is the start of my experiment. Let's hope you will receive it....

"Dadahomeya news" is my new mail art zine, soon I'll distribute it in the mail art network and will place pages of zine at IUOMA site.

I was just reading about Mark Pauline moving his Survival Research Lab from his old SF spot to a little north of Marin. Know who he is? I used to have a lot of fun hangin around those "Scientists" and helping out with his shows. Anyway, I have been trying to send you something for a few days now. Can't get to the Post Office because of the flooding up here. Gak! At least my house was spared from the catastrophe (by the hair of my chinny chin chin)! I'm gonna try to get down there again later today. Even if I make it there, I-5 is still closed, so be patient, something cool is on the way. And thanks for the Holiday mail!

Hi Jennie
Today I received your letter. Thank you very much. You can see on my blog: http://charmot-in-my-mailbox.blogspot.com/. Did you receive mine?
Best.
Denis

Your pic made me think you knew about SRL (odd isn't it)? I can't really recall your SRL friend, but that name sounds familiar. I was really into sound myself at the time, so I may have met him. Dunno.

hi jennie!

good to get your message! looking forward to your next post. your last mailbox card is on my work table so i see it whenever i am making postal art. have completed some new collages and will send you something soon.

cheers,
stan

thanks Jennie,
I hope your shopping.
Pass to friends and to anyone.
I notice when I get it! Embrace.

Hi Jennie,
Glad to hear you are taking the 4D plunge! Just the notion of you joining in the fun has the distant jungle drums starting up. Looking forward to that. I'll be sending you a Heebee souvenier! Test

Thank you for the bag of GOODIES! Very cool! Just what I need to get me to work on some mail art collage pieces. I've been super busy with other work... but will come back to my love of mail art...

One of the little paintings that I did for a local shop.

Hey there,
That postcard you sent me was great! Thanks very much for that. I posted it on the Heebee blog just a moment ago and it gave me a big smile! You asked about the name "Test Tower". I first started using that moniker when my friend and I were doing sound for the live performances of the notorious art gang "The Architects of Doom" back in the 80's and early 90's in and around SF. I have an old poster and a booklet "Atomic Blast" made by The Architects (circa 1988), and was going to show you the rather interesting cover, but for some reason I can't upload it onto here right now. Frustrating! Aw well.........those were interesting times.

I made you a little mail art out of the red envelope you send me... hope it makes it!

U know they do care! :-) ;-p Looking forward to your mail art! Chromatophore is coming to an end--this week... next years show is 100 add and pass books that I am making and hopefully people will add and mail all around... and then back to me August 2010. Haven't officially launched that yet but am busy making "Mail Sketch 2010 Books" Should i send you one??

CHROMATOPHORE the art show will be opening August 27th @ Studio 620. www.studio620.org has put up some great information about the show and designed their own invite! Please check it out. Opening is 6:30-9 and will include over 300 pieces of mail art from 20 different countries. There will be interactive mail art tables featuring mail art calls, add and pass. There will be a raffle of donations from local businesses and artists including Hugo Porcaro, TestTower, Ginny Lloyd and more! There will be food, drinks and live music from local favorite--Rebecca Zapen. Check her out at www.zapen.com . And last but not least a showing of artifacts from the first open air post office in St. Petersburg, FL. So as you can see from the line up--it's going to be a great night! Admission is free and none of the art is for sale.


So what do you think? I'm currently compliling a program and after the show I hope to make a zine of the event. Will probably sell it on etsy to defray the cost. Join me for a night of mail art fun!!!!

Hello Jennie,
I am sending a little mail art your way :)

Cheers,
Marianne

Can wait to start sharing :)

LOL... thanks :)

Oh thank you, USPS! My friday posted little impromptu letter arrived that fast?

Dear Jennie,
Thank you for your message.
Your class totally got me hooked on mail art.
Hopefully I will be able to attend more of your inspiring classes.
Can't wait for your book to come out and of course I would love you to sign it!

Take care,
C.
