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://):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67195631@N00/
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.

    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'.

    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.

    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!

    Well, Deadwood, South Dakotey finally caught up with the rest of the nation.  Today, the mayor held a special meeting at noon, passed Deadwood Resolution No.10 which shut down all the casinos at 5 p.m.
    In other local news, Sturgis Guns is giving every gun buyer a free bible with their purchase.

  • Debra Mulnick

    That is TWISTED!

  • Fast Eyes

    I thought we were too. Just the S2 connection, I guess.
  • Jenn Miltenberger

    Wow, that was definitely me. I haven't had any in years. I had one named Harriett who lived for years and years. 

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Bradford, Thanks for the link to the postage stamps made from the algae of the Venice Lagoon. It's a very interesting story and explanation of the stamp-making process.

  • jon foster

    Yes, the CALL ON ME project is over. I might do a second one if there's interest.
  • Aaron Sciandra

    Thank you so much. As of right now the Beard award is just a nomination. Winners will be announced in September.

  • Chepín

    Thanks for the feedback.  I was trying for a Bruno C. flashy image.  it took some time and i'm still not sure but ya can't go wrong with pinials as finials (had to look that one up - i was sure it was a bird term..jeje) or with avians. Will send snail mail one of these days.... if the post office survives in the USA...ciao

    Ciao Caro Amico, grazie! un fraterno abbraccio. cb*

  • Tara Odorizzi

    Hi Bradford, thanks so much! For some reason I'm just seeing your message, I think I just haven't gotten the hang of the IUOMA site yet. You have such a great collection of work on your page. Would you like to do an exchange?

  • Mail Art Martha

    Thank you Bradford, I have a card from A C but the address is not clear .

  • Yvonne Kettner

    Hi Bradford, 

    I had to look up what the cow group was first ;) 

    well, I have a cow chair, might as well join the cow group.

    I mailed my first piece in 1990, but perhaps some of the old envelopes that I've employed have earlier dates on them, but I can't contend that my work pre-dates 1990. My first was a stamp of Bug Bunny taken from a magazine with his ears extending beyond the borders of the cartoon perforations. My motivation came from an article about a Doonesbury cartoon that was drawn as postage stamps and folks cut those out, glued them to envelopes and sent them successfully through the mail. 

  • Richard Canard

    21.10.20 Dare Sir Bradford,...looking forward to the second coming of the Yves Klein postcard ("Leap into the Void")  -a monumental  event in contemporary art.......& the Doonesbury Cartoon Postage Stamps (via Michael Thompson) .....I had not ever heard of that one but  what an exciting,strange & exceptionable collectible that must be even among traditional  & conservative stamp collectors!!!!!   SinCelery, Richard Canard

  • Mah Nu

    Thanks for the comment on my Workspace photos, Bradford.

    That coffee mug you commented on is my favorite and one that I was recently gifted from a friend who lived above the Propt Theater in Chicago. They recently left their original theater space and had a huge open house with lots of free stuff to take...I couldnt help but accept it as my friend placed it ontop of the armfull of theater stuff I went home with:) 

  • Mail Art Martha

    Thanks, will try that. I got a friend who is an IT geek whom I should have consulted. I tried to send this from Messages and it did not go when I hit send. Why is it only this site affected and no any other? Really weird.
  • Kathy Barnett

    Bradford, did you get your assistants? Photos please!

  • Amanda Becerra

    Thank you very much!

  • Amanda Becerra

    Hi Bradford! Thank you for the welcome to IUOMA! I apologize for the late reply- still learning the site. Happy New Year!

  • Ilya Semenenko-Basin

    Dear Bradford, thank you for your feedback on my poems. I could tell you the addresses on the Internet where all available English translations of my poems are located.

  • Ifé Niklaus

    Hi there Bradford!

    this one took off a few days ago  - but I'm afraid the postage 's too weak . . .  I checked this morning at the post office, but the letter was gone already. . . we'll see then. Have a nice day !

  • Heidi Leech

    Hi Bradford! I will do my best to bore you about typography and margins! Nice items you have (in a nice rustic setting)! I have to figure out this IUOMA interface, but I'm excited to be here and part of the community. I learned about it from my friend Mim.

  • Trisha Kummer

    I don't know if I can comment on your comment so I'm commenting here...

    Thanks for checking out my site. It's interesting because I was thinking about changing my views on watercolor. I've started doing more planned-out semi- traditional work with them lately and I might like it. Still not sure though. I'd strongly recommend playing with them at any rate. Just jump right in! Whether it's a pan of crayola watercolors or a single tube of Windsor and Newton, just do it!

    Funny that you just left Austin so recently. I hope life is good in Deadwood. At least people know how to deal with winter up there...
