Thanks Jack Lattemann

Mail that came to me in April.

Thanks Jack Lattemann for postal art. Lattemann, always featured in mail art as Cascadia Artpost, has been building his city for years, a model of some beautiful country, populated by little people who live their own lives. In March 2020, a photo of a composition dedicated to the anniversary of another master of mail art, the canadian artist Anna Banana.

In addition, Jack sent me issue of his own newspaper: an funny parody of the press, social headlines, even crosswords are present…

[Cascadia Artpost]

Ilya, I wish you a hopeful and creative spring. Work continues on the Cascadia Diorama - a new central Post Office has been completed, but a zine commemorating its opening plus other associated mail art might be delayed until the international postal circulation has improved. In the meantime, I have planted the first raised bed of our vegetable garden as a 10-day period of sunny warm weather has befriended Cascadia. As a substitute for a tangible artistamp sheet, here is the latest from Cascadia Artpost for spring. The image has been taken from a 1930's British gardening poster. All the best and remain well! ~ Jack
