Mail art by IUOMA member Joel S. Cohen aka The Sticker Dude (New York, New York, USA)

March 2, 2015 - Today I am again thrilled to be able to share with you absolutely FAB work by yet another Eternal Network luminary: Joel S. Cohen aka The Sticker Dude. The Sticker Dude is another case of a mail artist so well known that he requires no introduction to most IUOMA friends. If, perchance, you would like to know more about Joel Cohen, much information is available online:

I only know of The Sticker Dude, and I am, of course, an admirer. So he holds a kind of enigmatic, removed legendary status in my mind. Additionally, stamps and stickers are a huge segment of the mail art world and very, very popular. I blog stamps received and make them but do not hold a candle, as they say, to masters like Joel Cohen, Mike Dickau (California, USA) and Ruud Janssen (Netherlands), just to name a few examples.

The Sticker Dude was extraordinarily generous sending me so many wonderful stamps and stickers. Hopefully, you are able to click and enlarge the scans because his work is worthy of your scrutiny and consideration.

The total immersion in stamps and stickers is a unique aesthetic experience indeed, including the envelope:

Deepest thanks to Joel S. Cohen aka The Sticker Dude for sending this amazing package!

Great the you met The Sticker Dude, Susan. I was pleasantly surprised to receive this material from him. No, I don't think I'll be parting with any of it either.

How wonderful, DeVillo. Sticker Dude was at Ex Post Facto and I got some great stickers from him, but I hesitate to use them because I'll never get anymore. His stuff is fantastic.
