Hello Mail-Art-Lovers!

I publish a monthly 16-page paper zine as well as mini zines. The most recent mini I made was about the joy of mail art. If you'd like a copy of this zine, write me with your address and I'll send you one.

I also have a Patreon page if you want to subscribe and download it (as well as all my zines in PDF format).

Cheers!
