"In France, postal rates will increase in 2026, as they did last year. The price of an international letter weighing up to 20 grams, to any country in the world, will increase from €2.10 to €2.25. This seems exorbitant to me... and…"

"I was told today by my Post person that our postage abroad will go up soon, to £3.40 for a 100 grams letter. I wonder how much would be to keep carry pigeons...? "

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:: 1980

My Website (without http://):: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruud-Janssen/126853977330127

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:: I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.
