Mail Art News #94, Oct 21, 2026 (Busy Season - Break Time)


From Zorica O. to Mick B. 



The overtime is showing up on the schedule again. That means fewer days off and less free time, so Nov-Dec-Jan is when I take a break from blogging. This will be a quick blog post, showing you the highlights of incoming mail art since the last post. Blogger is fighting me every step of the way today. I almost gave up, but the spice must flow.

Mail Art News # 83: 10-10-2024

  J. Matevish , 2015 cut to ATC size from 1995/1996 30" x 22" original I am really happy to receive the above ATC from Julie Matevish. Why? I don't know...it looks like something I might make if I sat down and received the instructions to do so from some invisible muse. The style speaks one of my languages. The card was # 9 of 64 cuts from the larger original. You can see a low resolution scan of the original below, which Julie was kind enough to print and mail to upon request. To locate the original high resolution scan would require some real searching on Julie's part, and that's too much to ask. Also below is a digital collage I made, using the print of the original as a background (with colors altered). The text is a reminder to anyone about all of the experiences, "good" and / or "bad" that they've been through, are going through now, and could possibly go through in the future.  Also included is a US postage stamp of famous slave owne...

Mail Art News #87: July 4, 2025

postal prank from Chris Stadler, with rubber stampings by T. Brown, using the stamps sent by A. Warner Not all mail art is delivered by the postal service, though most is. Delivery by private citizens is the rarer method. For example, the package of old New In Chess magazines from one "Magnus Carlsen" showed up in the hallway of my apartment building yesterday. Further research determined the sender to be one Christopher Stadler, an associate of Mail Art News - Media Specialist, Ariel Greenwood. And then there's the set of rubber stamped post cards from rubber stamp collector, Amy Warner, which made their way to me via Tom Warner, another associate of A. Greenwood from the Pratt Library. If it's art (pranking is an artform) and it came to the Mail Art News headquarters in an envelope, it's mail art. As a reminder, we're in the process of relocating our headquarters from Baltimore to Aberdeen, Maryland.  And so, as in an attempt to shake this tabasco sauce add...

Mail Art News #45: An Overview of Cascadia Artpost

  City of Cascadia central post office (1:87 scale model) by Jack Lattemann The other day, Cascadian denizen,  Nonlocal Variable , suggested that I contact Jack Lattemann, also known as  Cascadia Artpost , a name I had seen here and there during my relatively short mail art career of ten years, and so I thought yes that would be great. I'd like to learn more about this mysterious Cascadia Artpost. What is it all about? Jack was super generous in providing information and dozens of images of his creative output, and so I present you with an overview of Cascadia Artpost, plus a few interview questions, followed by the usual weekly mail art news that you've come to expect...nay, demand!  From Jack Lattemann (JL) :  Between 2008 and 2014, I posted entries on a blog, “Welcome to Cascadia Artpost” (two versions), which provide some background on the first years of Cascadia Artpost. I discontinued the posts in 2014 because they were taking too much of my time, even tho...
