I had the good fortune to receive a copy of Brain Cell 800 from Ryosuke Cohen - my first mail from Japan!
(and wonderfully fabulous!)

Mucho mail art from the gals, too!

Super beautiful collage from Karen Champlin, as always! And my favorite detail: map fragment! (Well that bird, vintage train schedule, and poem are all tops, too!). But location must be Ohio, yes? Youngstown, Ohio? And that train from Boston to Braintree...let the imagination travel. Thank you, Karen!…

Mucho Mail Art on this sunshine Friday (after strike days;-)

Dean Marks in France sends a desperate message:

"Will work for food...stamps, and glue sticks"

Help the unemployed guy...(this is too funny!)

Also from France:

"Lord, increase our faith in mail art" from Moby (Valentine Mark Herman…

Catching up again - Received from Katerina Nikoltsou, Karen Champlin, Torma Cauli

Katerina sends greetings from Paris. Lucky us, she brought her mail art "equipment" to France, and she even carved a special "Paris" rubber stamp for the occasion. Thank you for always thinking about us, Katerina, this is much appreciated!

Received: minimal art from prettylily

A cool piece, with a slight problem:

The problem? The piece of screening had fallen off in the envelope, and Sue didn't remember where it goes. She had written on the back: "Simple enough yet? Ha, ha, still working on it." At first I took that to mean she is still working on going minimal, then, second-guessing, thought maybe she *meant* for me to finish it, with her "Ha, ha,… Continue

Received from Dean Marks, France--Unofficial, Unlicensed, and Unauthorized

A gentle, kinder kind of anarchy. Katerina's partner in crime, Mark has sent me a couple of fantastic mail art pieces. This first one, in black and white, confesses that "He's got a Daytime Job He's doing alright." That's saying a lot these days. I like the doo-hinky buttons/keys and MR OFF is wonderful.…

Zombies Made It Rain by Andrea Jay

Andrea cracks me up. I can't believe I get her ongoing diary cartoon strip for free. I will never think about rain the same way again.

"Inspired by Life" card from Holly Cooper

That's what the cool stamp on Holly's card says. This is the fantastic story that went with the piece:

"One night I had a dream in which I made origami birds and flowers. When I awoke I waited a few days thinking the urge would pass. Then I bought paper and started watching origami videos on youtube."

Doesn't get more modern than that. learning an ancient craft…

Received from Susan McAllister

A wild and fun card that leaped out of my mailbox:

A lot of work went into this interesting piece, and it brightens up the atmosphere in my dead resort town. She included a nice note on the back, too. Thanks very much, Susan ~

Cheryl Penn's Demons

Well, this is what I get for assuming that Cheryl had wrapped her Desk Set in a mere scrap of paper. I was filing away recent incoming when I unfolded this wonderful and huge drawing / mixed media painting featuring three of the demons that live in the watermarks in my ceiling. A sinister all-purpose trio and by the way, rendered with exactitude based on a few notes I scribbled to Cheryl. How does she do it? I suspect KwaZulu sorcery. Thank you, Cheryl and forgive me for my laxitude (is that…
