Book arrived. Waiting for my postcard stamps from the USPS so I can send out some postcards. A year or two ago, I'd started sending out envelopes with multiple items in them in order to save money. A postcard after all is only one item, but an envelope can hold multiple items. Anyway, I don't always have a full envelope's worth of art to mail out, so I decided to switch over to postcard mode for a while. Also waiting for my E.T. rubber stamp to show up from a seller on Craigslist. It's a picture of the alien E.T. saying "extra terrific"...probably used by a teacher in the 1980s. They said they mailed it! Must be a delay in my area.
I was lucky to get a copy. Only 100 were printed. It's 294 full color pages of mail art received by the editor along the themes of
Art = Revolution and
Images of the Future based on a call they put out to the mail art community. I will post a few images from the book here and there in future blogposts.
One outgoing mail, and then we can look at the incoming mail.

Plenty of cool stuff to look at in the incoming mail folder. And recently, I've contacted the library at the Maryland Institute College of Art to see if they'd be interested in doing a display of a selection of mail that I've received over the years. Could happen!
That's all for now. Thanks for reading. Have a good one.
Hooray! Another issue. Great stuff. Pam sent you a lot o' stuff. Groovy. The other stuff is all wonderful--but i think the BUNZILLA piece speaks the most to me. It looks like something I might do wirth collage instead of rubber stamps. (I'm actually working on a similar piece starring Shirley, out family tortoise.) Thanks for posting. Always a pleasure. CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteCool man. Yes...on the last blog post #70...for some reason your comment shows in my comment page but not on the blog post. Somehow only on that blog post your comments were flagged as possible spam. Gotta love blogger. Anyway, I have marked them as not spam. Thanks for reading. Look forward to seeing Shirley's fictional adventures in mail art form.
