Hi. Luckily I wasn't selected for jury duty last week, but spending all day in the courthouse prevented me from blogging according to my usual schedule. We now resume our regularly scheduled Mail Art News blogging with two week's worth of mail. So tune in and enjoy, my fellow astropithecines.
Rubber stamps are my favorite. So many great stamped images from Jean Jackson and the only one I have in my own collection is the dinosaur. There're so many stamps out there and I'll never own them all. It's always a treat when they show up in the mail. These appear to be from the 1980s and 1990s, a time I would call a Golden Age of Rubber Stamps.

More stamps! This time from Starry Eyed Stamper, plus two postcards that I think Monster A GoGo and Maxima Strange might enjoy.
I'll do this once in a while: send out scraps that I've received from other people...a grab bag if you will.

If you're looking for a bird that can help hunt for microscopic marine life, you can get one at White and Pollard's, apparently.
Photos possibly taken by micro-drone surveillance insect of...someone. Is that fly on the wall really a fly at all?
Duck! The ducks could be droids too. Why is that duck sitting on your lawn anyway? and looking into your kitchen window so often?
One time circa the early 2000s, while driving, I glanced a crow flying overhead, with a small white bird's egg in its beak. An audacious burglary indeed! This moment awakened me to how rotten birds can be to each other. Well...Nature in general is truly constant struggle, with animals battling everywhere for survival. Of course, you see the crow in the collage below has no piece of cheese in its beak, so this could also reference the fable where the fox tricks the crow into singing, so that the cheese falls to the ground below. The fox then runs off with the cheese, another case of audacious burglary.
Uh oh, there's an election year coming up. Not interested, but I will share this much from
Sticker Dude's most recent political mailing. It's something to think about, the relative rates and modes by which truth and non-truths travel about the noosphere.
The truth prevails is a saying that comes to mind.
Speaking of the noosphere, here's a piece from
Michelle Gendreau that I saw on Facebook and requested that the artist send me a copy for blogging purposes. Either that or I would print it myself and mail it out. You may recall that I blogged previously about the noosphere and the nooscope in the bizarre
Mail Art News #22. The image below looks like some kind of mind-structure you might find in the noosphere.
Here's something from X mail artist, Adam Roussopoulos. It includes an x-ay, err...an essay on the letter X, making note of how the letter shows up in so many places: math, treasure maps, pornographic videos, x-cetera.
This week's blog looked solely at incoming mail, but next week, I will have some other links to share, photos of outgoing mail, as well as mail from the archives. Have to keep it manageable. Thanks for reading, commenting, mailing, emailing. Have a Smurfy day.
