Indeed it is amazing! A good question, Terry.

I think many people send him mail art in return, which he replies to by sending a new Brain Cell form...

What I am wondering about, is what he would do with the received mail art, if not sticked to the Brain Cell forms.

Usually I am sending a stamp design (drawn by hand in black and white on a 300 grams water colour postcard-size paper), in an envelope, most of the time a mail-arted (stamped/drawn) one. Who is sending to whom in return remains the question, though mr. Cohen was the first to send a Brain Cell form spontaneously to me, some years ago. At that time I didn’t know about the project at all. And when I learned about it, I so very much appreciated - and of course still do - the fact that he is connecting mail artists of all times and places in such a beautiful way.

I'm amazed when I think of how much postage Mr. Cohen must buy in any given time period! Does he accept money to help out with his project? Also, does anyone ever send him mail art in return for Brain Cell, as we do with other mail art we receive? Thank you.

And just having said that mail is not getting to Japan from Greece...

ha! Now I see that "Orion Soup" arrived by Dec.4,2020 for Brain Cell #1101,

and my "New Year" arrived for Brain Cell #1103, Dec.18,2020. 

Thank you, Heleen for posting these Brain Cells!

You may send just ONE or more rubber stamp images on an envelope,

and Ryosuke will print it on a Brain Cell.

He does a Brain Cell every ten days, so I send one envelope with a few rubber stamp images for him to chose from during a month or so. However, in my case, mail has not been sent to Japan from Greece during this Covid Era, so my stampings are not on any Brain Cells recently :-(

Others send their artistamps in a series of 50 or more, and Ryosuke then glues these onto each Brain Cell page...but that for me is a lot to send overseas, so i stay with rubber stampings only.

Comment by Crystal S on February 20, 2021 at 2:21pm

I have wondered about this too. I have been sending 1 at a time.  Am I doing it wrong?  I saw my image on a post here of a current issue today not sure what issue number it was. There were a few posted here close to each other. 

Comment by Mel Anie on February 20, 2021 at 1:21pm
Could somebody explain how brain cell works, please? I think I have the general idea but: Do I have to send 150 copies of some mail art or just one? And is there a size limit? Thank you.

Orion Soup Time, by Katerina :-)

The address list. I see that this Brain Cell should have been sent to Henk van Ooijen (I didn’t contribute to Brain Cell #1101, despite of that my address was written by mistake, next to Henk’s name, so I’ll forward it to him).
