Profile Information:

Mail-Artist since:
Hmmm, been doin' weird things with mail since the early 70s, but only with friends/family until 1994.
My Website (without http://):

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
The usual reasons: it's truly democratic (if you ignore the poor folks who don't have mail service) and it is NECESSARY for my soul to create/share art in such a fashion. I can't quite put a finger on why I went from collecting stamps to making my own stamps when in my early teens thinking I was the only weirdo on the planet to do such a thing.

    Bonsoir! Goede avond!

    The Minister for Silly Affairs -- who admires your caligraphy -- has asked me to thank you very much for your "Brexit? You Bet!" Silly Stamps. He was tempted to send one to the President of the EU (with instructions about where he could stick it), but decided to keep both of them for himself.

    Thank you. Bedankt.

    And if you are ina Coffee Shop in Maastricht in July/August you may well have the opportunity of receiving the Minister's thanks in person.

    Sillilly Yours, Val

    Thank you for noticing.  The "Stencil Craze", as it was known in BalTimOre, really did have solidarity amongst its participants.  Most or all of us knew each other & 'had each other's backs'.  

  • amadeu escórcio

    Yes I know  that I have already  a profil at IUOMA but... I have not more the ancient e-mail and I think it´s better put my new e-mail here.

    Card coming your way 

  • Jeremy Ng

    Hi Bradford, I was wondering if you have received my postcard. I mailed it out in early August. Thanks

  • Sabela Baña

    Thanks

  • Ilya Semenenko-Basin

    I am very grateful to you for your artiststamps.

    So awesome!

    Strictly speaking, I am not a collector, but I use materials sent to me, in collages. I carefully paste your stamps on my collages, they will become part of the new art. Dear Bradford, how do you like this idea?

  • Mary Anne

    What's this Bradford; another believer in the etiquette of airmail?  Can there really be two of us?  I have always thought that there was a lot of mileage to be found amongst the other ephemera found on mail besides stamps.  Glad to have found a fellow traveller . . .

  • Richard Canard

    06.10.19 Dare Mister Bradford,...was pleased to see your commentary regarding  "Wild Bill" Hickok as I had often wondered but  never asked....& what did you think  of the HBO series "Deadwood"???  You must surely have some sort of  realistic insight.  I'm fairly easily entertained but I thought it was one of the best  so called " "westerns" ever.  & was surprized to learn how much I enjoyed the  foul-mouthed character "Calamity Jane" with what seemed to be "a heart of gold".  Happy Trails, Richard Canard

  • Mary Anne

    Hi there.  I seem to have had a lot of mail go missing recently so I am chasing about and wondering if this arrived?

  • Maggie Mize

    Bradford, I received your Halloween postie today and I love it!  And I love Albert Einstein too. He’s a handsome and scary critter! And obviously a very smart kitty! Cats are my favorites. I hope to see more of Albert! Thank you so much! You can expect something from me soon.

  • Jeremy Ng

    Thanks for the Halloween card, Bradford! Please note that I have changed my address. My new address is on my page. Will send something back to you. I have an idea to work one!
