Mail Art happened organically for me in the 80s. I always wrote letters back then (long before the advent of email and texting). Eventually I started decorating my envelopes. Why not? My envelopes got more and more elaborate. Once they started getting really interesting, one of my friends, who was a part of the Mail Art scene, introduced me to the community at large. I was very active for years. Then real life hit, as is often the case, and Mail Art sort of took a back seat...and slowly drifted from my mind. I am happy to discover it is still a vibrant art form and am more than thrilled to jump back in again.
My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail)
Monster A GoGo -- RETIRED Mail Artist (Lurking in the background...)
Sorry--I'm NOT accepting mail at this time. PLEASE do NOT ask others for my address. I appreciate the effort, but NO THANK YOU. My mailbox is closed.
I too hope for a change for the better. Thank you for your letter. Don't forget that I am able to send mail to the USA, so I can make a collage card for you!
Hello from Greece! I received two mail art envelopes from you. Thank you so much. There is no address so I write to you here. Have a nice summer and be creative! <3
Yes, I received your piece and am in the midst of trying to catch up on belatedly sending off mail art to those who have sent it to me! I love this piece of yours and will try to get one off to you today or tomorrow. Happy autumn (and Halloween!)
Absolutely no need to reciprocate (unless you get a burning urge to display your latest creativity....) Mail art should be pressureless and utterly enjoyable. Have a great life!
Excuse me, Mr. Monster! I am so so sorry for not getting back to you. I fell off the IUOMA wagon and completely missed your messages. I'm working on climbing back on though.
I did in fact receive your mail art way back in April! And you distinctly said not to respond since you were in the midst of re-retiring... it seems you've decided to unretire once again? Either way, I was delighted and honored to receive it. I don't have your address, but if you'd like some mail art from me, send it over and I'll do my best to send you something spooky (...though it may take some time, because I'm a bit slow, in case you haven't noticed).
Hmm, maybe your new technique is the way to go. I definitely have a list of people I've neglected and feel guilty about, which I'm sure doesn't help.
I always love receiving mail art, and apologize if I gave you the wrong impression. If you feel like sending more my way I certainly will not complain! Let me know if your mailbox ever opens back up :)

Caro Amico, io ho iniziato la Mail Art nel 1980, ma solo negli ultimi 10 anni ho intensificato.
Dear Friend, I started Mail Art in 1980, but only in the last 10 years have I stepped up.
