Keith S. Chambers

Thanks for the 2 pieces of mail art.

I hope I can scan them this week.

Something for you goes out tomorrow.

Keith! Got the 2 postcards and they are FAB!!! Love the Roswell"weather balloon, and Believers into skeptics!! Love the vintage rocket,air balloon graphics too! Your a talented man Mr. Chambers! Keep creating!

Hooray! I'm so pleased that you liked it. I have to admit that I made it a long time ago and couldn't part with it because I liked it so much and have a deep love for all cephalopods and especially the nautilus, even prehistoric ones. I knew I couldn't part with it until I found just the right person. Looks like my hunch that you were that person was correct! I'm off to India on Saturday where I will endeavor to find some mailart fodder for you.

'Always like coming to your page and seeing that "lay-back" froggy!

Thank you, Keith, for the TWO cards you have now sent for Roswell, New Mexico! Liking them both very much!

(...and any more you wish to send :-)

• Also from New Mexico? Roswell documentation from Keith Chambers

Oh, Keith, there is a "third" Roswell, too?

Hoping someone will post it soon and we can see the complete series.

Very nice indeed! Thanks.

Love your Roswell series - thanks!

I thought it was funny too--I did not grow up Catholic either but I don't know of any other religion that has people calling themselves  "recovering' once they leave the church.  It was all from a book cover that was sent to me by Nancy Bell Scott I think.  glad you got a laugh out of it:)

Happy it arrived.  The International postage rate in Sri Lanka was 19 US cents.  MailArt heaven!

Hi Keith..Thank you for 'flight/fragments' mail art. I think that Magyar stamps are quite beautiful. The postcard has been added to my IUOMA photo stream and will be blogged soon at http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

Mail art will be coming your way within the next 4-6 weeks.

PS: Happy IUOMA Anniversary!

Many thanks! xxx

Hi Keith

Just got your mail art yesterday. Thank you so much. Like a lot.

Wow Keith, that is nice to know. Serendipity. who knows. I'm glad your exploration in color and technique is almost the same and that you enjoy what I sent you. Carry on. Will send something soon. Right now I lost the muse for two weeks and trying to recover. My best wishes. see you in e mail my friend.

Some guy from Anaheim sent me a real cool postcard w/ a Mongolian with a screwdriver near his head!!! Loved it! Rock On!!!!!

Best, Neil

Thanks for your postcard!  I have blogged it here and at MSK: http://monosemikodachrome.blogspot.co.uk

hi Keith,

I think the text would be silk screen printed or printed from wooden type by hand with litho ink?  Sorry I can't be definite - send me a pic and remind me!  I am interested in other peoples perceptions of WW1.  here in the uk, we are in full flow nationalistic our heroes type memorabilia, there is little questioning and clarification - particularly with what is happening in Ukraine at the minute.  Look forward to your next posting!

Hola! I'm working on a collaborative book and I thought, "I should get in touch with that Chambers kid, and see if he wants to work on one with me." So you in?

Thanks Keith for your well-stocked envelope received yesterday! Full of marvels and beautiful strangers inside(the old and the young). Our mail-art must have crossed over some meridian as I sent one to you the same day... Thousand of miles are nothing in the eyes of the Eternal network!

For sure, here are some more details. I took a couple weird photo books (I think that's what they are) and put some color to them and some images and what not. Thought it would be a good idea to add some fine folks to collaborate and I thought, "Hey, KS would be down." No specifications at all, just add some stuff, subtract, etc...whatever you'd like. Still in? Here's an image of the first three of these.

The items are sitting in the back of my car right now. If I didn't have to do this whole work thing all day< they'd be on their way to you. The book I send to you is just between us two, no others need to add. You add and then you pass back to me, I'll scan, and we will rejoice in the greatness that is the thing we've created. Look for it on the other side of the country by the end of the week.

Angie made this collage out of your work and published it in Backgrounds.... So you are credited there for sure!

Hey there, my pal, whatzzup?

I am so glad to hear from you. I hope you are having a great day. Baby Jane says "gang-gang". ( that's what she says.......)

                                        Your mail-art friend always, CZ

yup--collabed it up. it was funnnnnn

Hi Keith--I finished my add to the 'Cool Dude'. It is going out to Karen Koshgarian (iouma) tomorrow.

PS: I had fun with this--thanks for starting it out. Hope you post the final result--I'm always amazed by the outcome.

Two chips lost is better than no card at all.  It's all part of the game. But thanks for telling me.  I'll get some better glue.

Which two were missing?

Hi Keith, I got your mail today. A very nice surprise from Orange County, California. Thank you! I will send something back... meanwhile here's my favorite car... Happy Friday.

Thanks for the mail art, Keith.  I can't seem to get the photos to work in my blogs, so I didn't blog it.  I'll get something in the mail to you.

I used to own a stock 69 Fastback, I bought it in 1973 and it had 20,000 miles on it, you could still see the engine paint on it, and it was stamped Hollywood CA under the hood.

No, unfortunately we do not see these cars on the Finnish roads very often. Rough weather and road salt ruins both cars and moods around here. I saw this Mustang Mach 1 (1973) for the first time at a show two weeks ago. The design and painting are so good. Ah, you have had a mustang! I envy your cars and roads AND weather :)

thanks for the weave card!

Hey Keith, I received your AMAZING MA yesterday. Great, GREAT poem! Man, can you write!!! Thank you immensely my friend!  Best, C

What's up there captain? I'm not too sure what you just wrote me about? If you're talking about the collaborative books, then yes, I have received some of them but not all of them. There's two or so floating around out there.

If you were interested in collaborating I would be more than happy to...just give me the word. Since I've been sending out a lot of these it may take me a little time to get another one ready but I'll have time this week.

I hope you're well?

Oh ok, now I get it. Sorry about not recognizing what was going on. To be honest, I forgot that I sent one out to you. It seems that I need to either keep better records or get my memory checked. No worries on the time, work through it when you can and send back when you can. I'm going to be working on things all week...not sure why you needed to know that last part?

The presentation did come out pretty well. One person who attended has joined us here and is mailing things out. Hopefully some other folks will join in and do their own thing. I made fifty starter kits and they went very quickly...so who knows.

Only shave if you feel like it. Keep the follicles flowing.

Keith!!!! Got your "long live the King" wooden-draw-cover-thingies! Beautiful, "Thank-you, thank-you very much", how about some grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches???

Well, hello to you! Fancy meeting you here.Must put something in the mail to you soon.

Hi! My cats 'help' when I make these mobile things. here is the Siamese one, Trouble, being, well, troublesome:

Bonjour! Trouble adopted us about 4 years ago. He had ended up as a stray, and gradually moved in with us...much to the consternation of the existing Queen Cat, Bianca. We didn't know what to call the new cat, but as he caused no end of trouble that seemeed an appropriate name for him. Bianca would probably have called him something like 'That bloody interloper'; Trouble still causes trouble...his worst habit is to wake me every morning between 05.00 and 05.05 demanding food, milk, attention and to be let out...although he could go through the cat flap if he wanted to, but, no he causes trouble.

If you send me another bit of your Mail Art, and remind me to do so, I will send you 3 knitted 'punnekins' one for each cat to play with, no feathers, hooks, or beads on them...and certainly no needles.

Here's Bianca, the rather old and extremely stately Persian-type cat,  and the two of them together.

Regards, V, B & T

Thank you, Keith.

Your beautiful and generous envelop, with treasures inside, enjoys me.

I was getting jealous not having received a famous sound /visual poem...but now I have one of my own - thank you , its a great concept and perfectly executed!

of course I was joking!

Hi again Keith, I certainly didn't think anything funny about your greeting. It's just that I love your work very much and I know that if I'd like to ever see any of it in my mailbox I'd better get off the procrastination porch and into the studio and communicate through the post with you. So, thanks for the reminder. I did put something in the box to you today, no strings attatched ;)

Awww, shucks! Glad to know it hit its mark! :D

Love your new photo Keith!!!! that's not Walt Whitman Darwin???
