An. U.'s Blog (19)

Hello, dear mail artists!

Could you please help me with my academic work..?

I must give a lecture about history of mail art and mail art itself. 

Maybe you could advise me some useful links, and maybe you know some online videos about mailart I could show them?

Thank you very much,

An.U

I was and I am very lazy blogger and I'm very sorry to all of you if your art isn't shared there.

Now to collect and to show all my received mailart I've made the blog -

Please  follow, watch, share, find yours and enjoy! :)

Have a nice summer all of you, great mailartists! ;)

Sherri sent me these old postcards and stamps:…

Two my most recent pieces from Simon Warren:

First one about being alone in London: 

And second about Night in London:

Stunning!

I'm sure someday his works will be worth of…

Much more recent is this called as Birch Leggings.

Two artist trading cards from her:…

As the next one I would like to show you the Birthday Bookie from Vizma Brūns

.I got it a long time ago, but since a while I was gone from here, I can say - better late than never. (Latvian saying: Labāk vēlu nekā nekad)

Birthday bookie cover:…

Few days ago I got my first piece from Haptic Werewolf, mister Dharmadada Erni Bar.

... today I opened little paper package in the front of postcard and found this : …

I'm tired of fact that the post always loses exactly those items in wich  I have invested the most love and inspiration. I'm tired of myself given up. I want to win this battle.

Many thanks to all who are sending me mailart, there will be blogs with your pieces soon. I just need to recover.

December was and is very hard month for me, full of hard days, hard works and sadly happenings. I forgot about IUOMA little a bit, but my mailbox was quite full actually. But as I say - there where a series of unfortunate events (oh,  Lemony Snicket!) and one of them - my Nikon camera is dead ( I hope for revival) and that's why I didn't post any blogs about received mailarts. 

But there is a good news - instead of crying, recovering, learning for exams, being annoyed about camera,…

I'm very glad that there in IUOMA is such great and optimistic mailartist as she, especially if we speak in common language and we have common origin - latvian.

And now ... some words especially to you, Vizma! : Es jau sen esmu vēlējusies Tev atsūtīt atbildi, bet esmu bijusi šo laiku aizņemta ar studijām, kā arī - esmu ļoti lēns artists.:) Man vajag ilgu laiku, lai izdomātu ko un kā sūtīt konkrētam cilvēkam, jo parasti cenšos pieskaņot kautko attiecīgajai personai un savam…

From Cheryl Penn, South Africa. So colourful, just fantastic!

Two great works from Ana Marta Austin, Brasil. Graphic work on sheet with phone numbers is printed not original, but I adore it…

Thank you all the fantastic mailartists!

There is a lot of work that I have received lately, but I have not had time to show them. I will try to catch up.

This is first - little booklet from Mister Lestaret or Christopher Skinner. His fantastic asemic writings and ephemeras has always fascinated me and I'm so lucky that something from him is now in my collection…

My postbox was a quite full today, some of mailart treasures:

1) Elegant and romantic postcard about "Silence" theme from Nanou Camut (France)

2) Envelope full of treasures from Nadine Wendell-Mojica -

photos with strangers, just as I like:…

Such a great and wonderful suprise!

Thanks a lot Simon…

Today was full of mail and there will be some of wonders... -->

First about this wonderful card from Stephen Walker. I've seen some of his works before and he have one of most impressive, touching and intimate mailarts.…

I made a buch of new collaged postcards and they will be outgoing soon.

It's only intriguing activity for rainy days when all you can do is to think about summer's…

Today I find in my postbox this wonderful art from Guido Vermeulen. First mail in my collection from him.

Please feel free to participate in my mailart call "SILENCE".

Silence is my religion and passion, I enjoy silence as others enjoy music. For me first association with silence is composer Gia Kancheli, what it's for you? This mailart call is going on from 2011 but in IUOMA i'm a new member and I think it would be a good way to start explore your art and all of these members who will send me something to my little world. :)
