Mail Art News reader Carmela Rizzuto left a comment on the IUOMA group, alerting me to a book on Lenore Tawney, who was included in Mail Art News #77. The book is titled Lenore Tawney. Signs on the Wind: Postcard Collages, 2002.

 
Thanks to Carmela Rizzuto for this recommendation.

realisiert während des Mail Art Decentralized Congress in Italien und Deutschland). 
Seen at Hans Braumiller's website.


At Hans Braumiller's website, I learned about a show called Parastamp, and I'm trying to find a physical copy of the catalog, but I've finally figured out that the images from the 2007 show are online here. First by category, then by individual artist name. 





2007 catalog for Parastamp

  • Images from the 1987 show are also available here.
  • Texts for the 1987 and 2007 shows are here.
  • Images from 1982 are here.

Incoming from P. M. Wilson. No I don't have your address right now. Haha. My archives system is not great. Just a copy paper box. And then there's some on this shelf, and some on that shelf. Whew, I found it on IUOMA.

Outgoing postcard, T. Brown, July 2024

I posted the above image on Facebook, with the fun title Mail Art All-Stars, but really, none of them are mail artists. Klaus, the Ring-Tailed Lemur, did not send over a thousand pieces of mail to the White House in 1987. If you would like to know the actual names of the humans pictured here, then you'll have to send an email to mailartnews@gmail.com for more info. Sent to Tristan da Cunha on 7/11/2024, along with some other creations. 


Why isn't YOUR work on here? Because you didn't send it to me physically or electronically! Or the gatekeepers in the editorial office decided not to include it for any number of various possible reasons, which is rare at Mail Art News, but it can happen. Anywho, thanks for reading, mailing, emailing, commenting, and sharing.

Mail Art News # 67: Jimmy Hackney

  drawing by  Jimmy Hackney Thomas Brown (TB): Hi Jimmy. Your profile on IUOMA says you've been a mail artist since 2023. How did you learn about mail art? Jimmy Hackney (JH): I was dropping off some art at a friend’s ( Steve O. Black ) house for an upcoming event. We began talking about some of the projects he was working on. Then, he comes to one of his storage bins and asks me,  “Have you ever heard of mail art?” I said, “No, what is it?” He pulled out fascinating pieces of art. My mind was completely blown. I could not believe that this kind of thing existed. I asked, “People send you these!!?!” It was like hearing music for the first time. He told me that he was a member of IUOMA and suggested that I join. So, I did. He said, “Find someone to send art to.” “Easier said than done, right?” As it turns out, it was indeed that easy. I picked out an address and let it rip. I can’t remember who the first person was that I sent mail to. I sent out approximately 20 at that time. Howe

Greetings from the Moon from Francis Lammé   I just had the idea the other day that I'd like Mail Art News to be a little more like MAD Magazine , so why not eh? You might see more goofy drawings in the future.  goofy drawing by T. Brown, FEB 2024 And with that, let us take a look at the incoming mail.  from  Francis Lammé from Bancks from Jimmy Hackney from  Jimmy Hackney from RCBZ Outgoing: I'm going to buckle down and send some mail art to Stephanie Lentz Morrison today. I'm gonna do it! This one will be in there, along with some other stuff I made and some other stuff I didn't make. T. Brown, Feb 2024 Don't forget about Pam's mail art vlog .  Book alert! Tentatively A Convenience has released the following publication, full of memories, pictures, and accompanying text (87 pages). Here it is on Amazon . And there's a Baltimore connection. If you've ever lived in Baltimore and maybe you went to MICA or had any artistic leanings, you probably visited

wuh-pish, wuh-pish , some bizarre North Carolinian inner hellscape collage from Jon Foster , 2023 It's 2024 here on Earth according to the common calendar used by the majority of humans on Earth. Does anybody really know what time it is? It could in fact really be the year 13.7 billion or even 26.7 billion depending on who you ask at NASA about the age of the universe. While that's being worked out in detail, I'm going with the year 2024. Enter the Dragon .  I'm happy to report that I have a perforating machine now, a birthday present from Mail Art News media specialist, Ariel Greenwood . Get your own here . It works well enough for my purposes, but there's no precise way to line up exactly where the holes will be punched. You just have to feel it out with your eyes each time. The AI generated intergalactic postage stamps look pretty good. You may have noticed my absence for several weeks. That's because November and December were extra busy this year at my day
