XX Jones is back a in full swing.  It seems that her jungle life is…

19 Mail Artists from 8 countries! Such inspiration. I've tagged everyone (hopefully didn't miss anyone.) Can you find yourself on my REAL wall. Thank you all for so generously sharing your time and art with me. I love them all.

Ok the scan doesn't bring out the texture as you can see it in real life.  But it is wonderful to touch.

Painting on top of a gallery open invitation.  This one was for a Lukas Ilgner show in Vienna last month.

Love the improvement to the digital print. …

from Frieder:   from Jay: from XX:…

In the middle of Hong Kong there are peaks that no one else can see except for XX Jones.  And on the back it reads; "Said So!"

Thank you Mrs. Jones, but don't peak too soon.

Well in the end, I guess it all comes down to what you are smoking.  And as we all know the famous wise phrase; "You can smoke but you don't have to inhail."  Or is it something about a horse and water?

   Whatever the phrase may be, Bifudus sends some very pleasing pieces.  Yes, those are tinted edges.

Thank you…

VEry clever idea from the Raised Letter Queen herself.  There's more than meets the eye.

Open the windows, and you will find deep thoughts ...

 and even some nice dreams.…

This amazing drawing arrived in A3 size, but here you only have a few details.  The part I enjoyed the most.  The Silo, the outhouse, the cornfield (now if they could only talk), the potato planter, and the chicken coop. (Where my rock band practised for endless hours.)  What wonderful memories this brought back.  Thank you Mr. Jones…

The Land O Lakes kid pulls a fab piece out of his log cabin and sends it to Paris.  This book is simply amazing, and had me smiling from sweet corn ear to sweet corn ear.  Thank you very much Mr. Jones.

     But the girls that do, have a ball.

A good story always has a little hidden mystery included.…

Yes, even on the foot paths in Portland you can find wonder things.  Jennifer has put it all together in this lovely card, and she only had to walk 500 miles to find it all.  Thank you very much Jennifer, and I hope you didn't wear a hole in your socks.  Socks?  Jennifer, did you say that you wanted Mail Art socks, well you are in luck ...…

Received this amazing post form Cheryl Penn! 

Jennifer Jones sent me this some time ago and have been admiring it but failed to post it!

Received this from Yonatantsav today.  Another beautiful letter that helps me…

BIFIDUS JONES has also been extremely GENEROUS to me.  Bifidus has got the art of collage DOWN!  What elements make Bifidus’s art so appealing?  The COLORS, definitely… The vintage-style images, curious images.  Interesting images paired against vintage typeface and handwriting.  This particular beauty has stamp images and characters, INCREDIBLE old U.S. postage…

If dropping six figures at the art supply store ain't your gig, consider joining the All Things Trashpo group here at IUOMA. If you got something deep and wide to say and no language on the planet can suffice, join Asemic Writing for Mail Artists. If you're one of those people who can't help but reach out and touch art, say a Van Gogh at an art museum because his brushstrokes are calling you, maybe you should join the Haptic Poetry group here. And if you have a penchant for disobeying…

Ryosuke Cohen's Brain Cell project, begun in 1985, is a networked art project where artists create their own work of art with stamps, drawings, or stickers and send them to Cohen, who prints each cell - 150 copies each - and sends them back to each participant. New editions are published every 8 to 10 days.

Bigfoot Sighting, 1856

Ooh, he's much scarier than the little bigfoot I saw in Atlanta.

Whether we're scorned or forgiven, the fish will still be swimming. Thanks, Guido!…

Everyone knows I love maps--maybe it's because they're a 2D representation of a 3D place, maybe it's their subdued colors, but mostly it's because of what they symbolize--movement, the journey, the visuals of where we've come from, where we've been, where we have to go, where we want to go, where our lovers are, and maybe places to avoid no matter what. Nancy has given me a…

The mind can be a vast thing: ocean-deep, cosmos-wide and in the distance, more distance. That's why Erni's instructions for the readymade art is so appreciated and valuable. I love anything that comes from the Off Scene Academie Hamburg. Wird ein Professor Rektor der Universitat, so nennt man ihn, "Magnifizenz".…
