Hi Andy!!
Today I received your card...It has arrived without the post office seal on the stamp so I don't know how long it took.
You had a very original idea! I really liked the concept. Cool! Thank you very much, Andy!!
Is Lisa another mail artists?

Hi Andy!

cheers

Hi Andy, I should like to send also some mail-art to Hammersmith and Fulham, and see if they think it is "business garbage"! Maybe we could suggest that they start a "REAL WALL" in their office :-)

Thanks Andy! 'Just saw your REAL WALL! I dunno...looks like a top executive business office to me 8-)
Something artsy in the mail tomorrow...on official Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki, Greece stationery...the Greek gods are angry!

Sorry you have to pass through all of these. It is absolutely ridiculous. I will send you my postcard asap.
Regards

ooohhh that hilarious! i know... i'm a little psycho with overdoing it with the tape on my poor poor little envelops... but the mail art works that i send out are all originals so i always want them to arrive undamaged. it's happened a few times in the past that my hand made envelops got torn or something in the post, so now i'm all coocoo crazy with the tape. good luck and perhaps an exacto knife or something will do the trick?

three cheers for all types of sharp devises! well as long as they don't bite our little fingers!

in my envelop wrangling experiences i would actually use an exacto knife (or thin sharp knife) and do a little slit at the top or side of the envelop. not too deep to actually get to the contents... but i'm a very seasoned envelop taper, so good luck to you! ha ha ha!

like the skull? will send you more...

go craft knife! yay! enjoy the insides!

... i knew i would with an envelop like that! and of course my head scratching ability to make a seemingly harmless envelop impenetrable... ha ha ha! sharp objects to the rescue!

sweet!

... more to come of course.

You are quite welcome, should arrive soon. Keep us informed of events

Thank you Andy...I am so pleased you liked it!! And I promise that if by unlucky chance this card is lost because of the London post strike, I'll re-do it..until it gets there!
;-)
best wishes
Patrizia

Good luck with your REAL WALL!

HI Andy~! Thank you for your concern!. I will send you my postcard★
I hope to meet your mailbox:)!!!

ooohhhh! i got some mail art awesome-ness coming your way!!! get ready!!!

oh and get your craft knife ready... ha ha ha!!!

Thanks Andy for your friendship. What's happening with the REAL WALL multi-million dollar business, Mr. CEO? Has the company dropped the charges? I hope, I hope.

Here is my REAL FLOOR, Andy. I don't have wall space in my little studio apartment, so I am "opening-my-business" on the floor! then, once I put some order into this chaos, I shall keep a nice mail art archives in artsy boxes.
Best of luck to you with the council.
Katerina

Will do, andy,
as soon as your mail art arrives, i will send you a pic!
'Love your REAL wall!

hi there! thanks for the follow!
i LOVE your REAL WALL!!!!!
that's so amazing! u r one html/css/web language genius!

sweeeeet!!!

Hi andy!
what a blessing it was you received my card.
I hope you like it!

Many thanks, Andy. Your mail art came in today's mail.
To me it took too long of a time, but my postman saw it,
and liked it, and asked how it came without stamps? dunno!
Maybe they didn't stick on the smooth surface? Anyway, it arrived and I like it very much.
Do you have letter type sets for those letters?
And what type of ink or paint that will not come off?
Really great mail art. Many thanks,
Katerina

wow, Andy, I just went to Amazon.com and saw that letter set. Me thinks I'll get one, looks like a fun way to write on mail art! Thanks for the tip. And I see the stamp that you put on...and that somehow never arrived in Greece...sob, sob. Maybe some postal clerk added it to his stamp collection. Hope it landed in appreciative hands!
How goes the legal stuff concerning your "business"?
May all work out for the best.
They really should dismiss the charge!
Take care,
Katerina

YEAH! Andy! At least you are getting some public news out there. glad that the "Greek gods" could help. hope to hear soon that "case-is-closed" and you have no fine, no fuss whatsoever. (Could it all have begun by a jealous neighbor...who wants some art in his/her mailbox too?)
hope all goes well!
Katerina

I am re-posting today, Happy Christmas

Hi andy! Love your idea of the real wall!
Just wondering if you could help me out with my project on mail art if I sent you a shell in the post for you to do to it what you will!?
Thanks natalie x

Hi Andy,
I sent you a postcard today from Australia. It's a bit large and an odd size so, could let me know when it comes. I just wanna make sure it does. Cheers! -JJ

Andy..help, please. I'm trying to get into the Mail Art Projects of the web-site, but when I try to do so, all I get is a very small picture on the top left of the screen. I wonder: is it me at fault, or is there something wrong with 'the system'? Could you try and get in, please, and tell me if you have the same problems, Thanks! I'll send you CV-type info tomorrow; Regards, Val

Bonjour! Please let me know if you got sent some bio-info I just sent you; I'm having trouble with this wretched system. Thanks. Val

Hi Andy, A big parcel is on its way to you. Some help for your upcoming lecture on mail-art...... Let me know when it arrives.

Dear Andy, Did you get the cv type info I (tried to) send you last week?
If not I can re-send it. Good luck with your fight against Hammersmith and Fulham (0-2, at half-time). Regards, the Health and Safety Executive of Val Herman plc
