  C. van Hest Welcome to Mail Art News #69. There isn't much sexually-themed mail art on the internet, but there is some , so let's take a look. Surprisingly, no one on IUOMA responded to my request for sexual / sensual mail art. No matter. The show must go on! There was a call for nudity in mail art by Carla Cryptic in 2009  that received over forty submissions, but I don't see any documentation of the submissions online. My email to Carla Cryptic did not get a response.  Pat Larter Stacy E.

  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.
