Zack's Blog (922)

i'm guessing this was sent last November, on the 50th anniversary of his death. 

i'm choosing to interpret this as a reminder to be patient; no one is around forever...

still catching up! gracias Mikel and see you in the mail soon!

fascinating collage with surreal foliage in the foreground, and could that be a hyena grazing near the new year's pennant? meanwhile, hard candies fall from the sky... danke schön ]:-)

jj's envelopes often feature some striking portraiture - 

inside, two photo-postcards featuring images of art appreciation -

and i always love learning about new art & design folks from…

simply delightful; merci mon amie 

i remain super impressed by William's prolific productivity - where does he find all that time to assemble/distribute The Rubber Postcard, create so many zines and cards, blog the incoming mail art, AND keep up his correspondence?!?! and he's not even 'retired'!!

his latest packet to me included this 'little' zine featuring photocopy prints (made last year using an Epson XP-2101 printer) -…

two separate pieces which arrived a few days apart --

is Dean trying to tell me i'm nuts? 

+ this very cool repurposed holiday card. the bar code kid strikes again! …

opening an envelope from Antonia is like turning a corner into a gallery alcove and encountering a poetry reading... (=transporting)

top: 'At sunset / A threatening gaze / Light that hides'

middle: 'Japan, sushi'

bottom: 'Cala de la Zorra (Torrevieja)'

green: 'Dream of a garden / The scent of flowers / Floats in the…

more holiday greetings from last year. guess it's providential that i'm this far behind with logging mail received - could really use some cheer right now...

Mail Art [community] comes to the rescue again! thanks Bonnie 

yep, still processing holiday mail (!)
thanks so much for this lovely print/stamp combo; i just put a little something in the mail to you yesterday, PMW - curious to see if it survives the trip...

a pair of delicately tinted watercolor postcards arrived in this envelope featuring flying flamingos and a hand-drawn hand (perhaps the artist's?). the opposite sides are blank, so i'm debating whether to keep these or send them out... 

a both-sides-now shot of a 3D collage [that's an actual bottle cap (smashed) on the left] posted from France at the end of last year. i wonder what hand made object was inside of this 'Apli Krapli' box. also, it's funny that the French postal service cancelled the portrait of Polish singer Wiktor Dyduła (digging that mustache). merci…

great hand drawn card with mythic overtones and the word of the moment... merci Thom!

apparently Vilnius was the European Christmas Capital 2025 - who knew? 

look carefully and you'll find this tower [la Tour de Gediminas] on these cool postage stamps i recently obtained at the Postal Museum in Paris -…

this beautiful watercolor+ arrived in a lovely envelope decorated with a curated series of postage…

editions 23 et 24 de 'La Vie secrète des Mots'

felicitations sur le fin de ce projet - aux prochaines aventures!

so great to see you in my mailbox again!

hope you are well. la kermesse me manquait...

merci mon ami

a  nutty bumper crop of the finest vintage collages and wizened scraps, complete with a 'hidden' message about Mail Art: Try it. It Works.

thanks a lot Jim - btw, i recently saw your name at the Postal Museum in Paris (see my comment…

thanks for these holiday stars from a while back. this new year has not (yet) left a lot of time for Mail Art, but hopefully you've received something from me by now... belated New Year's wishes all the same ]:-)

even before one opens the envelope, the magic is apparent -

lots of mail art omens - 

and a copy of Leaf Study #9…
