I love mail that doesn't ask for money, pitch credit cards or summons me for jury duty. I'm amazed and grateful for all the generosity of this community.
(Note: my website is under construction).
Got your mail today. . . I loved the bunny hand grenade. I made your rubber stamps today. I'll get to the post office later this week. BF
Thanks again for the wonderful mail.
Nadine! I'm deliriously happy to hear that! I read your comment and none of it made sense, so I had to go and look at the photocopy of your boekie, and now I understand! (the boekie really made no sense anyway!!) So glad you made sense of some of the references! Wow, how did I know that there's a lot of roof-top farting going on in Hollywood? Pure fluke!
All of those stamps came from the US! Mainly from the web. Sometimes I cut them up to make them more fun- like the farter was a referee in an ice hockey group of 3. I cut him out of the group and added some smiling clouds (from a cute kiddies' weather stamp set) near his bum and Voila, a much more useful stamp!!
Hi Nadine! And thank's for the mail art, it came today. I like the picture of the"farmers" so much and I wish to work on some art having that picture as an inspiration, if the outcome is good I'll send You the result (the actual picture will be intact as it is, a great found object). The stickers and that wonderful "page reminder" was from your son? Great great stuff and say thank's to him from me.
I love faces.. pictures of people, that subject never ends. It's always the eyes, nose, and mouth that I return to when I don't know what to draw. Glad I found Your sons fb-page too. I think I've seen his art before. You got great artistic blood in Your family!
Hiya. This is the first time that this little "box" appeared for me. I still HATE COMPUTERS!!! I don't even know how to put a cool little picture next to my name.
Give me snail mail any day (in fact, I mailed a letter to you this afternoon) in response to your dee-lightful letter. I want more snail mail! Is there anyone in the listening audience who wants to do silly "cooperative mail art books"???
Any kind...from sleeping faces to amazed, but maybe it's the inflation of happy faces that I'll reject them for now (except for happy faces mixed up with other expressions). And a happy face... :)

I was told by a little bird in Montana that you and I have similar style. I'm new to the community and searching for kindred spirits. So, I thought I'd say hello.
Dear Nadine, so happy to get more ART MAIL from you !!!!! I have given up Art Mail !!! but would dearly like to continue getting art mail from you. I love your work and I hope you will still send me your wonderful ART !!!! I hope you are keeping well !!!
LOVE your latest mail. I am working full time half day now.
The crime in our area has escalated, to murder, rape and lots of burglaries and beatings. We live in an upmarket area, but the black people are just going to town on white people.
We all have alarm systems, razor wire around our properties, electric gates, but that is life, my children have left South Africa and live in the UK. I miss them terribly, but am so happy they are safer over there.
Thanks for the friends invite! North Hollywood? We're practically neighbors.
Regarding the luddite comment, seriously, I have no fear of [digital] technology, just new tools to help us along our merry way. It's more of an ode to Ned Ludd than anything else [you can read the amble at the bottom of my blog]. Onward.
Ooo, almost just in time. Happy birthday Nadine! Hope your day is being extra-extra. Also, keep the pink, will ya? Also, show it. Humble suggestion is all. HB ~
Nadine! Thank you for the great postcard. I really like the bicycle. I get a little obsessed with techniques and am wondering about the texture of the bike, is that done with a special ink? You don't have to tell me, just keep it your little secret and let me try to wrap my mind around it until I pop. Jester Bummer looks so sad, I hope he cheers up; those tears look fatal. Cheers neighbor, from Anaheim to No. Hollywood. Oh, and a very belated Happy Birthday!
Nadine!!! You've outdone yourself, girl! Oscar arrived and takes the cake. You're a genius and I love it. Every page. How did you know I chose to study him in a junior year tutorial? ESP. KS. Thank you a hundred times.
Hello Nadine, just to say a very big thank you for the wonderful book you sent me. I love your drawings !!!! you should write a a book and illustrate it with your art !! How are you keeping ? I hope well !!! we are all well here but missing our kids who stay in the UK. With Luv, Karin xxx Take care !!!
Hi Nadine, Thanks for the reply and also your email address. I think your book is stunning. When you finish your book for your children you should just take it to a publisher and just see what happens. You have got nothing to loose. Congratulations on your little grandchild's birth. Hope all goes smoothly. My son and his fiance had a little girl McKenzie last Sept. We will see her for the first time on the 24th of Oct. I can't wait. We send you something soon. Take care with love Karin xx
Hallo Nadine . . . Received your monster child card; your faces always make me smile, even a monster child makes me smile [I have one of those, a monster child, or perhaps he's a son-of-a-monster child :o . . . ] thank you . . . ksc
Hi Nadine, I received your drawing, Art Block. Fantastic. I too have those days, staring at the blank page, trying to imagine the image arising from the ether. I love your irony of making something out of being blocked from the initiate.
Hi Nadine..thank you for the postcard and the great Ex Postale Facto stamp! So glad you made it to S.F. I wish I had been there. Glad you saw my piece...take care and you will be seeing me in the mail soon *!*
I aspire only for a purpose. . . . those are some mighty words there Nadine. Received your card today. The drawing is simply beautiful. fantastic. sublime. Thank you very much.
Nadine, the recent mail art is SUPER....I am so jealous that you are into Spring...if I planted any bulbs they would be under 2 feet of snow or more...we just had about another inch or two last night....the dogs and I are so ready for Spring...we had about a week of 40 degree weather and thought we were in heaven....no jacket and the door open for the excited pooches!
Take care and enjoy your warm days and bright sun for me! Hugs <3
No Dance Partner? I hope that is not true. Received your postcard last week [belated reply]. Love the drawing, but am hoping the message is just a thought off the top of your head and not a general outlook on things. Smile.
Hope to see you swinging your stuff in the mail . . . k.
ps. As I am writing this, I see you have a new address . . . does this mean I just sent my last postcard to the wrong [NoHo] address??? When did you move to Burbank? And yes, the earthquakes were quite sizable. The epicenter was actually relatively near to me [about 17 to 19 miles]. It rolled along for a while over here.
Thanks for the pet boekie...That was a treasure trove you uncovered in Iowa. The history of the world as contained in a single snap. Great job. You really can't go wrong with "James Franco" as a punchline.
good day! BARFA shopping has commenced. Unfortunately, this lovely piece slipped my grasp a couple years ago...but I've vowed to find a gift with compatible taste! Keep your eyes open in the upcoming week!
