Guido, your comments about the "postcard size" for the Mail Art Call in Puerto Rico should be directed at the "Events" blog:

VOCES: En Medio de la Pandemia

• Added by Asoc. de Artistas Plásticos PR

Organizers of mail art events often have a stipulated size, possibly because of their exhibit area, or even the size of their postal box .

................

Here at Val's group it is not the place for discussions about format sizes of mail art, it is about sharing "Boring Postcards".

A discussion about the pros and cons of postcards might be best done at Ruud's group: "FUNNY POSTCARDS". Or, create your own group for discussion.

If you want to respond to my comment feel free. I see you have not addressed my comments at all.

Sorry, VMH et al, but I had to respond to the Guido-posting.  My rebuttal image has been posted as a blog instead of here.

Guido, Bradford and Richard...Please, gentlemen, comrades and fellow mail artists, this group is about BORING POSTCARDS, not postcards in general, not international mail rates, not carbon footprints...just BORING POSTCARDS;

All other discussions, Guido, belong somewhere else...and I suggest you look at the evolution of this Group...yes all 42 pages of it -- to see what we are trying to do...and why. Then, hopefully, you will understand what's going on.

(Sir Guido Bondioli)...yes, the "BIG" barf is impressive.....but, if I may: the modest little  postcard has served humankind well over  the past century  & while it is true [at least, here in the U. S. A.( b.,c., etc.)]  that  the  international rate for sending a postcard & or an envelope  are the same they both have distinctive advantages in  their own separate characteristics ---as well as for the personal reasons & choices that an   individual might prefer. & you're right about the the "large carbon footprint" as well. It's high time we put an end to all this "mail art nonsense" & utilize email more effectively .Then maybe we can concentrate more  on contributing to all that space junk & satellite debris floating above our heads.

Don't be arrogant, Guido.  A postcard is a generous, thoughtful way to correspond.  I take pride in the ones I make, often from a photograph I've taken.  I've received some amazing work that was totally drawn in ink on both sides.  I also draw some cards on occasion.  Bigger is not necessarily better.

Also, you're quite presumptuous to say that it costs the same as there is a postcard rate in many countries that is less than the prevailing letter rate.  So in that sense, you're wrong.

Try to be more appreciative of Mail Art, even if it's just a postcard.

Post cards are the most expensive way to mail an image. It is so thoughtless to limit the size of an artist's response to a call for mail. It is so thoughtless to choose an impossibly small size to work. I seldom have a response so small. And It costs the same to mail the nothing as to mail a much larger response. It leaves a large carbon footprint. Someone did not think it through.
