My interest in mail art started by accident. I was working the streets of Toronto as a bicycle courier to finance courses at art college. During my down time between deliveries I'd occupy myself by drawing on scrapes of card stock. It was around the summer of '94 when a close friend of mine moved to Bermuda to start his apprenticeship as a chef. I began mailing these drawings to him and my mailing list grew from there. It simply started with people I knew. I wasn't even aware of the mail art community at large, until '98 when I participated in my first international exchange.

No I didn't ...DAMN!! If it had one of your drawings on it ,it probably got piked (sixties for stolen) they're so nice.
I stopped going to your blog after seeing my card on top of the pile for so long. Not like it's the Billboard charts.
Keep an eye on Staples. They're almost giving the scanners away these days. You can pick up a little 4-1 for
under $60.00.
Good luck,
Peter

Since it's a commercial gallery with overhead I suppose it's a sort of registration fee to help cover expenses....not too steep. The 5X7 board standardizes everything I guess (not sure if that's good or bad)
Just thought it fit in well with your interests.
Cheers
