Trashponcho & Hurricane D-Kit by Lucky Pierre (Charleston, South Carolina, USA)

[De Villo Sloan]

Mail art by IUOMA member Lucky Pierre (Charleston, South Carolina, USA)

 

October 18, 2017 - Lucky Pierre is officially recognized as a Legend of Trashpo and is also known as one of the more fervent disciples of Richard Canard. In recent times she has become – for me anyway – somewhat reclusive and obscure.

I was concerned about her when the terrible storms battered the USA in the last several months but heard indirectly she was well. Then this mail art arrived from Lucky Pierre.

The famous Lucky Pierre stamp:

Always wonderful to receive mail art from Lucky Pierre!
