P.O.Box 1055 closed

 Since Januari 2025 the P.O. Box I used for IUOMA is closed. 

All mail sent to this box will eventually be returned to the sender.

Seems P.O. Boxes used by individual persons isn't made easy and has gotten way to expensive. 

Also the domain-name iuoma.org will eventually vanish from the network.

From "E" in 2011



A lareg foam rubberstamp made by "E" in 2011 which I have been using for outgoing mail-art since then.

Incoming Mail-Art on 29-11-2017

Ask Anything

There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:
1980
My Website (without http://):
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruud-Janssen/126853977330127
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.
