hello
Hi, I am Zeno Izen.
Zeno Izen is an internet handle. My 'real' name is Matthew Carey. You can call me whatever.
I am interested in anything to do with mail art. That includes postcards, art that fits in an envelope. zines, add-and-pass, anything else that could remotely be called mail art.
If you send me something, I will send you something. You can also just tell me your address, or to grab your address off your page. (This is the only place on the internet I'll take addresses, btw.) I mail to anywhere on earth that has mail service.
My aim is to gather as many contacts as I can until I can take my mail art operations 100% offline. I feel like mixing mail art and the internet often leads to having the internet take over too much.
Blah blah enough. My address is on this page somewhere but I'll put it here too.:
Matthew Carey
PO Box 1886
Grants Pass, OR 97528
USA
No need to tell me if you're sending me something, but if you do it will help me know you're here and I will post photos of your art if I am aware you are on IUOMA.

much mail received this week + weekend notes

What a week. So much inbound mail. I will get to that in a second here but first...
Early in the week I got a slip in my po box that said to go to the counter to get a piece of mail. I did that and one thing led to another and now the name Zeno Izen is assigned to po box 1886 as well as my government name, so there should be no more bounced mail.
Thank you everyone with your patience about all this. Going forward there should be no glitches of that type. We are now looking…

Didn't get anything in the mail this week. That's okay. But remember that everything I get goes into the 1k year archives. Plus you get signed up for ongoing random mailings. Tell your friends.
I did send out a bunch of postcards this week and have an even bigger stack all ready to put in the mail this week. The test batch that I ordered from MOO a couple…

I don't think it matters. It's basically a free-for-all.
