WOW ... the Phantom of the Union! What an honor to receive something from Atte. In case you read this: THANK YOU!!!

And thank you all for sharing your knowledge about that phenomenon.

John Gayer, also in Helsinki, finland, has sent similar mail art cards:

but who am I to play "mail art detective" :-)

Atte Ourie seems to be a very generous mail artist, not wanting anything in return , simply sending out "gifts" in the mail. I have cards from Atte Ourie dating back to 2010-2015 until the present, and always a treat to  receive:

In addition, Atte Ourie has its own page here on this portal. Why not write to him.

Hi Maxie.

De Villo Sloan writes that:

"For years, Atte Ourie has been sending wonderful art around the world. They are messages written in strange symbols (probably asemic) that no one has been able to decode. Sometimes Atte Ourie sends beautiful maps, but no one has been able to locate places represented on these (apparent) maps.

Strangest of all, unusual in all of mail art as far as we know, Atte Ourie provides no return address. So Atte Ourie chooses to send you art, but you have no way to respond. (We do believe, however, that s/he watches mail art blogs and platforms closely.) Atte Ourie does have a blog:

http://attenblog.blogspot.com/

In the Eternal Network, one-way communication might seem self-defeating; it might even be viewed negatively. But Atte Ourie's "shtick" has proved endearing and enduring. Indeed, we venture to say s/he has become a beloved network presence. Atte's art "grows on you," as they used to say on the Mink Ranch".

It came from Atti Ourie from Finland. As far as I know, nobody is having Atti`s address, since it is never shared.  It is unique case.  Atti is just sending, not receiving.

AAAAAHHHHH...tte Ourie ... thanks for the hint :)

Not quite anonymous, it's signed by ATT* Ourie (Atti, I think). I recognise the handwriting. An asemic version of Finnish?
