The "Odori", a Dramatic Dance in Old Time Costume - from RCBz

More art from RCBz today. Receiving postcards from your friends is always uplifting, but receiving mail art from a mystery person takes it to a whole different level doesn't it? Nearly gives me chills :-)

This is a great collage, featuring various japanese characters, traditional and modern. They all seem to be part of a dance "odori" performance on stage, a traditional tatami room (love the way the head of the rocker guy pops… Continue

A person's a person, no matter how small - from Deborah Davidson

A great piece of etegami arrived from Hokkaido yesterday. "A person's a person" is part of the oil spill series and pictures plankton swimming amongst blotches of oil. I'm very fond of Deborah's work, and I will proudly add this card to my growing collection, thanks dosankodebbie!

220 Never Say Wonderful Until... - for De Villo Sloan

Ain't Misbehaving is a movie from 1955. It's amazing how many American movies were aired in Japanese movie theaters at that time, if I believe the number of ads in those small Tokyo magazines from the 50's. Japan was still occupied by the United…

Tokyo snail being pernickety. Or moody. Or something...

Do my postcards look like envelopes?

I've send this postcard to Art who leaves in a neighboring area in Tokyo, putting 70 yen of postage instead of the 50 required for domestic postcards. He got it with a note from the post asking him to pay the 10 yen that are missing within 10 days (10yen=0.1UDS).

Wot?

Maybe they thought it was a letter, for which I should have put 80 yen of postage, but the reason they give it that it was too heavy, which it is definitely not.

Why they… Continue

Two big smiles

Yesterday I got two beautiful postcards. Ever so special since they are the very first mail art to reach my mailbox. And it made me so happy.

This one is from Grigori Antonin, much obliged. Love the way the camera lens seems to be popping out from the card!

And this beautiful japonesque postard is from Jennie Hinchcliff.

Am I lucky or… Continue

Recession-busting postcard offer. Open to all

Mornin Mail-artists!

It's just occurred to me that the price of international postcard stamps is going up by 10% in the UK from the 6th of April. Seeing as you can't get fixed worldwide postal rates, I'd have to add more stamps after this date to send abroad, so I came up with a cunning plan.

If you want a postcard, hurry up and leave me your address BEFORE the… Continue
