Profile Information:
- Mail-Artist since:
- 2009 (and not aware being mailarting since 1979)
- My Website (without http://):
- http://heleendevaan.blogspot.com
- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- Making illustrations is my life. Love rubberstamps, coloured pencils, watercolour, black fineliners.
And how great to see other people's creative outbursts, creative additions to envelopes. Including those by the postal services (even a pen cancellation can have it's charms). I love the small pictures stamps show. And like to communicate via art works. And isn't it fascinating how snail mail works? We put a stamp and address on an envelope and a whole system of people and transportation means is bringing that single envelope to other places.
Count up all previous words and see: Mail Art is inevitable.
P.S. If you want to create and send me mail art about your favourite (weird or common) animal I will be most happy; I'll like to post it on my http://realweirdanimals.blogspot.com blog. - My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail)

El Taller de Zenon
ARTISTAMPS call / STAMPS SHEETS
To see details and some of our works visit the new blog: http://artistampstz.blogspot.com/
At birth, stamps live all together in a sheet and they come away from it when they become adults...
Create one or more than one stamps sheet. Any theme, any medium.
The "Taller de Zenon" will send you some of his own sheets recently done and all the received stamps sheets will be exhibited in our blog (http://sheetsexhibition.blogspot.com/)
Size: A4 or A5.
Any medium.
Deadline: *THE DATE LIMIT IS ENLARGED UNTIL DRAINING THE EDITIONS
Any theme (See some suggestions)
Send to:
Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón
C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 - 4C, ES-41008 Sevilla, España
Suggestions:
Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.

Bedankt Heleen, niet enkel voor je eigen mail art maar ook voor de mooie rebelse CD!
Wegens de muzikaliteit stuur ik je 1 van mijn interpretaties van WILD IS THE WIND (wat mij betreft 1 van de mooiste songs van Nina Simone)

Helen, I know strictly speaking it does not fit your call for existing animals as it is extinct, but it is no fantasy animal either. :-)
