Mail-art by Luc Fierens (Weerde, Belgium)

June 25, 2013 - I am absolutely thrilled to have received this visual poem by Luc Fierens, as I have been a fan of his visual poetry and collage art for some time. Luc Fierens is an…

This is a fabulous watercolour illustrated accordion boekie on stiff structured watercolour paper from Carina!

 It has everything; a nonsense poem, mushrooms, gold smudges, an undercover detective with a detachable arm, scary pointy toothed people, flying heads, aggressive ingots, 5kg hair and of course the Holy Duck!!

Here's a little story to prepare you!!

The next photo is photographed in full sun for complete Razzle Dazzle effect!! Sunnies on now!…

Received sometime around 6/20 or 6/21 but discovered on 6/22...This book demonstrates that art and science are true companions....…

I think I may have stumbled onto the right place. I started making mail art back in 1976-- sheesh-- under my name S. Mericle-- in 1991 I changed it to Mars Tokyo and invented the Mars Tokyo Rubber Stamp Co. which I owned till 2000-- then sold it to Adorned Surface. Looking for some old familiar names and some new ones. I hope that Mail Art isn't dead, that it's still alive and well. I'd like to resurface--looking for exchanges.

I've got a ton o' stuff to blog and I will get to everyone but here's some recent acquisitions...sort of recent. Ana Karina from Florida sent me a collection of things in this envelope.

The cool contents…

along with amazing bits of 'trash' from DKunst, I received this beautiful  piece entitled "Aal Ency" obviously a bit of found art from an old library. Fantastic piece and the woman's feet wrap around to the back, where they are measured. The subject of Feet seems to be circulating around here. I guess what goes into the eternal network spreads. I do not know what "Holic" means but thank you Svenja for everything. And here is your mail art exhibit  :…

Today at 17.00 I plan to open your exhibit 25 years IUOMA 1988-2013. My congratulations!

Received a postcard from Susan McAllister. She says she likes "the weird stuff". Me too!! I love the card! Thank you!! :-) My very first piece of mail art from an IUOMA member!

A while ago I received a minimalist mailart from 5Blanks and disappeared until I discovered it was hidden under a sketch book. I'm not an organised person and stuff is scattered everywhere.

This is on the back

I'm in the process of simplifying my…

Bonjour!

A number of you (well a number that is greater than 5 but smaller than 7) have asked for more information on my current Mask-Making activities.

In the absence of Jinny (who is on holiday, but otherwise might have made a Mask-Making video -- did you see her 'Do Not Open!' vid...it's a classic!) I have put a series of photos together for y'all.

Here goes....
