Mars Tokyo's Mail Art

Jimmy Connors and Michael Orr Mail Art

At the top is one of Jimmy's famous distressed postcards--this one has holes cut in it and some deliberate-looking tears on the surface. Really interesting, what he's doing.

The pink/red card is a wonderful piece from Michael Orr. So complex, I like it very much. The list across the top is a kind of poem including entries such as "owls" and…

Robyn Banks' ATC's

Top left is a completed Buddy Jam I sent to Robyn. I love what she did with my simple abstract design. Top right is an ATC in her new "cubist" style. So restful to the eye. It almost reminds me of Eastern Orthodox iconography, not sure why...beautiful postcard, too! Thanks…

Mail Art Martha!

WOW! I didn't know Martha was fluent in Spanish! Or Cat, or Rat! As best I can figure, the cat is bragging about not only being descended from Egyptian gods but also one of his ancestors was a favorite of Louis XIV of France. The rat responds, in essense, "no big deal, cat, my family has always been distinguished in medical experimentation!" Wonderful…
