Hi Jon,

Thank you for your "Hey Mister" mail art card - it's great! I'll be working on something for you next week.

Have a good weekend.

Hello Jon! Thanks for your great card! Have a nice day.

Jon - thanks for sending the postcard collage with the tape transfer on it. I appreciate it because it gives me a good idea of how to go about using that process. Thanks again!

Thanks Jon. The pic is from the "old town" in my hometown. Nothing compared to North-Carolina ;)

Jon, I love the collage you sent.  It is SUPER AWESOME!  You wrote that it was made with student work. Do you teach, or is it art you made when you were a student?

Hey Jon--glad you got it.You complete it and send it back. I have another that I'd like to send you if you want. I had originally sent it to Nadine and she sent it back. i think because it took her so long to do it, but it will complete one of the pieces. lmk:)

That was the right answer, Jon. Congratulations.

I just looked in my mail art sent record book to remind myself which piece I sent you. I recorded the card as "security envelope cut out". I cut out portions of the first piece of paper and then backed it with another piece of paper, then I continued making cuts in the second piece and when finished with the design added another piece of paper of a different colour.

It was fun to make. Hope you liked it.

sorry about that Jon--i tend to go to town when I am mailing an envelope and I'm sure if you check closely, the kitchen sink is in there too! 

Hi Jon, I was so inspired by your bat movie, and drawing - I had to make a rubber stamp! Hope that is ok with you... I think the bat has big potential to be somebody.

Many thanks for all great cards!

Hey Jon, in case this interests you: Washimatta is having a SALE! "$40-50 + dollars (10pcs- different sizes and patterns) worth of tapes for $20.00. Limited stock only though. First in first serve "

Have to remember to send my sketch of the bat "side view" to your girlfriend. It's probably better than the stamp.

Of course! This is one of my favorite places to buy it in the US. (Click the

• Japanese Washi Tape

at the top in the "Products" section)

There are some that are too "cute" for my taste, but a lot of cool ones too!

Jon Foster's Just Mail Art

Jon, thanks for the brilliant piece!

Hey Jon, I just finished my 1. Add, 2. Make, and 3. Send back instructions! Thanks for sending such great envelope with Mail Art inspiration. It was such a fun idea and I'm glad I caught your post on FB.  I hope you enjoy the result...the collaboration is in the mail. Hopefully our mailart paths will cross again! Take Care - Amy

Hey Jon, you're more than welcome! Glad you're enjoying it (I'm a washi pusher, and always glad to help a new convert... %_^) If you like it & want more, I'll be glad to send. FYI - I usually scan the samples I send folks so I can keep track and don't send the same tape twice, but I forgot to scan yours. If you want more, & can scan what I sent you for me, I would be sure not to repeat that way... Just LMK -- Enjoy!

Something is coming your way!

Jon,

I don't remember if I thanked you for the recent card yet. Really very cool. Here is where I documented it: Jon Foster's Just Mail Art.

Thanks again and again!

Thank you for your Mail Art!

Found this in my archives: "Throbbing Gristle" by Genesis P. Orridge (1979).

Hi Jon--Meatloaf Pants CD arrived  recently and I picked it up today. Thanks so much for remembering me. I'll be listening soon and will send feedback. AND Good Luck with your mail art presentation in September. You have some good ideas to enliven it. Skyping is beyond me, but I'm sure there have to be some iuoma members who are up for it.

Thank you for the postcard collage.  Your work never fails to impress!

Pay day= postage day.  :) 

jon

good to C there is a richard C fan club

I received your mail art postcard. Thanks! We crossed in the post as there is something on its way to you from me at the moment.

Hey Jon, thanks for the great mail! I picked up your KY whiskey postcard today. It is fantastic! What an awesome surprise. Your work inspired several cocktails tonight! I'll get it posted shortly! Take care.

Hey Jon, sounds great! Do I finish the book or does it go to others afterward? 

happened to be stumbling around on iuOma ground
and noticed you had got back to me fast
thanks for quick response
(meanwhile, had posted explosive mailing to Dean Marks via Ruud, w/parts, like organs for transplants to correspondence artists elsewhere - trapezing through the airmails)
best to you, jon foster

"Nostrils" arrived in Greece! Thank you, Jon!

(and for the ORANGE "B" hahaha)

• ORANGE "B" and Nostrils has arrived from Jon Foster

Hi Jon - your book arrived last week and I've begun working on it! I will send you a note when I put it back in the mail!

I dig the latest collage postcard.  I share your love tape.  I will send you a washi collage envelope soon ;)

Thanks for the art! I'll try to send something soon!

May! Holy shit~%#* Okay, so you know, I have not forgotten about this project and will put it back on the docket . . . I managed to tear my studio apart today so currently have no room to work [except here at the digital cortex workstation]. Am trying to deconstruct the space and reorg it so I have a better space to work in. In the mean time small projects at the dining room table . . .

Have you had the other two book come back your way?

Sorry for the ambiguous message. Its meaning hinged on you remembering that I was the recipient of one of the original three collaborative books. I was just amazed that so much time had gone by when I saw that you had sent them out last May [5 May '14]. Obviously, I have not sent it back to you [so no, do not send me another], it is however a work in progress . . . [perhaps now my original email may make sense?]

Hey Jon, tonight I found out that I can learn more about Mail Art by attending a lecture [seminar?] at Reich Auditorium with Jon Foster. I was very excited to read this news until I saw the date, 30 Sept.. I could get into my time machine and go back to the 30th, but then I'd still be in Anaheim and I don't remember much happening in Anaheim on the 30th, so that'd just be boring.  Well, I hope the event went well. I enjoyed some of the students' comments and really like the drawing of the laying figure with a book on his stomach — I really like the colors. The shaving diagram is very informative. If I ever decide to shave, I'll make reference to it; in the meantime, I'll just let the beard grow, it saves so much time. Hallo and ciao, thank you for all the informative and entertaining inclusions in today's mail.

50 starter kits? Man, you are one dedicated MA [not to be confused with a dedicated MF :o]. Seriously, though, fantastic job . . . Jon the MA Evangelist . . . Long Live Mail Art . . .

Would have loved to see a video of the event, but your account is well enough to satisfy. Ciao.

Nice photo, Jon, your avatar!

Hi Jon, your add & pass book arrived yesterday! Thank you. Wonderful project and extra materials. I will add and forward...

Yes, Jon, add me to the Add 'n pass .

..even if No1 in BLUE is already  gone.

Hi Jon, Yesterday your little red book continued its journey!
