Why? I'm currently writing a 10,000 word dissertation in an attempt to answer that one. It would be lovely if the answer was straightforward and small enough to fit inside a box as small as this.

"Mail Art Archives", Mail Art Statements", Brain Cell..." and another 45 other groups!
You may click "New at IUOMA" in the upper bar of the main page and there you will be at "Start Here at IUOMA" with lots more info by Ruud Janssen. And I am mentor for this month, if you have any questions...just ask! Best of luck with your dissertation, when published, looking forward to reading it!

I love your style, please feel free to send me something if you got the time and energy! You can find my address on my page. Naturally I'll send u something back.
I might just do that! We're always on the lookout for graduates to use as freelancers, and I love going to degree shows. I'll be at the Cardiff Beer Festival that day, so we may drop in afterwards (probably a little tipsy, I'd imagine). Would we need invites or anything for the opening night?
If you could add my work email s.churchill(at)jammycustard.co.uk that'd be awesome. I'll have to try and put my 'Creative Director' head on and be all professional-like ;D l
Looking forward to it

Thanks Ed! For 'Machine' in the earlier message, read, of course', Machin. Good luck with the circles. Regards and Bon Weekend, Val
PS I've just posted some definitely un-Machin 'Silly Stamps' that you might want to look at in the 'Photos' section

For a circular work, try a beer mat. If it doesn't work out, well the trip to the pub was worth it! Val
