It's here! Oh yes! SNOW? but in Athens only, not up north in Thessaloniki :-)

A real 45 rpm painted vinyl by a famous not-wanting-to-be-named mail artist,

and it is THE "Snowstorm"! Whaooooo!…

Not since July 29 has there been a Greek mail delivery...

but some 30 mail art pieces arrived by Friday!

Here are fun things from Val in Sigean, France:…

It doesn't come daily, but when it comes...

it is such a nice stack of goodies!

Thanks to all who sent,

some Banana Mail Art arrived:…

Aha!! It is the Artist in Seine's creation of wooden rings:

on a real TrashPo ice cream container's lid!

and not destroyed through the mail and postal machines :-)…

SO if Val Herman's birthday is tomorrow, why doesn't it come up in the tomorrow birthdays?   Do you think that Val doesn't want the seven Oh to be known?

I'll get you my dear, and your little dog too!  You will be mine, all…

Don't know about the rest of you but the holiday season has been long, wonderful and disruptive for me and mail art has arrived and sat in piles in my studio aching for documentation and replies.

Today the last of the family departed and when I made a path through the studio and started to examine the piles.  I am a bit daunted, for the moment, but also…

Timely history lesson from our Blessed Father, with corresponding stamps too! MomKat, pick up sticks.

and a non-banana card from Valentine.…

Over the Top, non?

And a message that just won't quit.

Well what can a guy…

And there I was thinking that Val was lost for good to Arty Slides.  What a surprise to see the ole Val back on the beer mat track.  OK so we can't read what it says, but it's a great start.  Are there any non-blondes out there who can read Swedish?

And Val is coming back with a THUD…

this may come off as weird posting something i sent to Val to help him with his recovery of the blow of  Vizma's departure and also since the Lil' Red Bag went to Angie and Snooky and again his heart was tampered with OR it could inspires honeymoon ideas since most of this signage was from a place in England called Blackpool.  Nancy, is this a 'run on'…

Plus one arty slide :-)) They look great Val, thank you for sending!!…

I think Val has covered all the names that I could ever think of and many more.  All in a days work as a Mail Artist.  Thank you Val.

Val does a double find, Bananas and Bar codes ...

Bananas or bar codes, I would have to think about that for awhile.…

 Seriously, who wouldn't?

Straight from Bedrock, UK a hard birthday wish from Val.  And a great new Val Logo.  He has been busy during this trip to the UK.  Thank you Val.  Only 6 more days before Katerina's birthday.  I know, it's hard to believe she's .... !

Now you can print this out and have your own French Mailbox.  Val suggests that I stick a copy over my post box at home.  This might just confuse the mailman, but it could be fun for a good laugh.  PS By chance I ran into our postman the other day (very very rare for Paris), he told me that he enjoys seeing all the art work.  I told him about the website, and he might sign up, he says he is also an "Artist".  Please Note: He also wanted Diane Keys' telephone number, but I didn't give it to…

Another Mail Art test from Val. I thought I did pretty good but confused Erni's Bar for the IUOMA HQ. Also added Val in his upstairs studio, the place were the wise don't venture to. I am still awaiting the results of my test. If I pass, I would be moving up one level to Mail Artist third class.…

Since Val measure the weight of his collection and threatens to exhibit it I dared to send him yet another painted envelope after he filled my archive also with this card: What he has to deal with is this envelope. No, the content I won't reveil....…

My home internet connectivity was having troubles of late.  The service technician came this morning to fix the problem (hurray!) so I am posting here several recent wonderful mail pieces that have arrived in my mailbox.

The magnificent Eduardo Cardosa sent some “Mind Bending” Paranormal Poste.  Enclosed: TWO great pieces! And I loved them both… one a minimalist deconstruction of Roman letter character(s).  Several serif appendages line up to create a new re-assembled…
