Received: It's my Party and I'll cry if I want to mail-art from Cheryl Penn (Durban, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa)

October 18, 2010 - Cheryl Penn sent me these photos of artwork she did that was posted on her website. I just find the whole concept of the shadows and the figure somehow haunting.

A good lesson learnt from Bifidus and the Crimson Giant

Bifidus wrote and asked if I had looked in the envelope?

Confession time! I had not. For some obscure reason I had read into his work that the envelope should remain closed, that there was nothing inside, that symbols had no opening/business being interpreted ("Any symbol caught not being identical to itself is subject to automatic ejection, a $10000 fine and 12 hours community service"). I had read his work a certain way, but his… Continue

Received: New-Old School mail-art, bunny stamps by Miss James (Brooklyn, New York, USA)

October 16, 2010 - Miss James did not make my day. She made my week, my month. I picked up my mail at the PO very early Saturday morning.

This set is perfect for Halloween, although there is… Continue
