Jon, thanks for the two A&P's you sent, plus wonderful stickers!

Thanks so much for the beautiful postcard, super-cool stickers, and the "add and pass!"  It's always a treat when there is something from you in the mail.  Enjoy the remaining days of summer.

Trying to catch up with a backlog of wonderful mail art, including this

Invite for the Party of the Summer from Jon

OH BOY! Two more A & P packages and a bunch of stickers! Thanks Jon!

Jon, just had a look at the birthday cards for Richard C. Nothing there from me. Did mine not arrive? Sometimes get the impression there is an international blockade on my post items like they they are written in exploding ink

Jon,  thanks for letting me know (still am in dark about something that should long ago have arrived at Hornby Island and another thing that I was told would take a max of 7 days to get to Rugerro Maggi in Italy....impression being the mail gets more doubtful the more they charge for it.

In the 1st item I sent, Richard C's face had been left empty to match the back of Shozo Shimamoto's shaved head.............looked almost identical.  Ring a bell?

Eek, Jon, thank you so much for the genuine "Fragile" cardboard sign from Richard's secret (well, not so much) archive! I am trying to figure out the place of highest honor for it--(and I am being serious here, no irony at all). Anything from that treasure trove is just that, treasure. I wish I could be there. And all the great A&P's. I'll try to work on the Orange Bastard although I'm trying hard not to think about him. Thanks again for your very great story of helping Richard.

some add and returns are returned......

Thanks for this beautiful sticker!  I'm looking for a great place to put it!

Hi Jon--received the wooden collage materials. Will start on it and the 'Add & Pass' soon.

Hi Jon, thanks for the big bunch of A&P's. I'll get going on them soon!

So excited to receive my little 9x9 wood block today! And all the A&Ps, too. I'll get the block back to you probably next week, after the paint dries!

Hi Jon--really like 9x9 #1. The puzzle aspect of it is very intriguing. 

FYI: Sent the 2 Add&Pass off yesterday. 

Hi Jon--I've completed a wood block and will send it out this week. Congratulations on completion of the second 9 x9 !! 

Jon, I posted the add-and-return mail a few days ago. Hope it will arrive to you well before your wedding day. Cheers, Keye

Hi Jon--Welcome to wedded bliss! Many thanks for the latest mega-card, the Buddha and Me (my title). I enjoyed reading your thoughts on being in the presence of the august one. It has been posted. I will be sending a mailing later in the summer/autumn.

Hi Jon,

Hope you are doing well.

Just so you know , today I mailed out my woodblock project art card. Together I sent a Mail Art piece for you.

Please let me know when they arrive.

Thanks

Just mailed you this, hope you get it OK.

;)

I posted my participation in December, 2017,...did you receive it? 

Thanks for info

Happy Birthday, Jon!

Happy Birthday, Jon!

Hope you have a wonderful day and may you celebrate many more .

Hi Jon,

Something went out in today's mail for you.

Norma

Thank you for the warm welcome!  I am so excited!

05.04.18 Dare Mister Jon Foster, ...I have entered my two cents & relayed the Collab Book that you generously sent my way. If there is one to spare----may I have another?? Sincelery, Richard Canard...........Post Scriptum: was pleased to see that the wood assemblage has been relegated to the basement as that is where it was created & spent much of it existence....thought it might possibly have been utilized in one of those notorious Jon Foster backyard bonfire/parties or quietly slipped into the refuse at a local construction site. If you like, it can serve as a collaboration piece. ...i.e. the lower right extended 2 by 4 serves as a shelf for whatever it is you are drinking at the moment.... at one point. it had an empty coke bottle quietly resting there for eons.

Yea Jon! I got "Ring'n'Key" collab book today, along with a zillion A&P's, stickers, and other assorted wonderfulness! Can't wait to get started on all of it!

Great packet, Jon, collab book and ALL!

Thanks  and so good to see you at Delphi even for a short time!

If you have that Brother Tank Demo handy id love to borrow it and make a copy. Oh and I will fill the box and send it on its way. 

On the way to Winston- Salem

Jon Foster, today  i received your mail art! so happy

Jon, here is a posting and reply to a mailing of yours! Thank You!

Hi Jon,

I would love to get a copy of your "10 years of Mail Art Newsletter".

Thanks,

Norma

Hi Jon

I invite you to my project YOUR CITY  Nuevo%20Provecto%20ARTE%20CORREO.docx
I would like you to participate.
regards

Maria Guacuto

Jon, I got your notice that you are considering doing a zine and wanted a response.  Are you asking people what they think would make a good zine?  Would be curious to see the responses you have so far.  If it's shooting in the dark you want, I'd say it would make a valuable history to say what Mail practice has accomplished up to now; to list the many tentacles (and testicles and other lobotomized parts) that have been chopped and forgot - there's been many beginning from the early beginnings.  And, of course, for shortages of cash or imagination, the many magnificent things that failed to get done en route, but are still to be done in an undisclosed future.  Ok, that is my contribution - a (sort of) provocation.  Bet you can find some great people to fill in my hungry blanks, say, just for starters, starting with John Held jr (never short on ideas) and Vittore Baroni (who has thought through the history).  Or try Ruggero Maggi on the Tibet Pavillion at the Venice Biennale.

SPOT on...hope you find Mr.Cheek,,,

and one of your Add/Pass boekie beauties arrived 

some time ago from Borderline Grafix,

Jon, always good to see you in the mail,

Hi Jon,

Norma

going to take a while to digest it all.
