Mail Art Monday: Bumper Edition

August 20, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Regular readers might have noticed that there was no Mail Art Monday post last week. That’s because time ran away with me, work got hectic, and I just didn’t get the chance… sorry about that! There is a silver lining though… this week’s post is a bumper edition! OUTGOING Katerina Nikoltsou (Greece) received some of her beloved blue, this time in the form of a Trashpo colour study. Suus in Mokum (Amsterdam), glen e. lizardi f. (Chile) and Terrie Purkey (USA) received slices of this collage… … while Nadine Wendell-Mojica , Vizma Bruns (Australia), James Chester and Thom Courcelle (USA) each received a quarter of this trashpo collage. Good friend [...]

Mail Art Monday: Harmony

July 23, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

It’s monday, the sun is shining (quick, everybody outside!), and I have another collection of Mail Art to show you. OUTGOING So, to kick off here’s a card that went off to Arac in the US. Arac always knows how to make me smile, so I thought I’d send her some ‘entertainment’ this time. Who knows what’s going on inside that place? The back of the card is guarded by Lego Batman on his jetski. Obviously. Katerina Nikoltsou (Greece) is known for her love of Blue, so this ‘harmony card’ could only be for her. Marie Wintzer (Japan) received [...]

Mail Art Monday: $75 for a Heatwave

July 9, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

I’ve given up hope for any sort of warm weather this year, but signs of summer are definitely creeping in to some of the mail art I’ve been receiving this week, from heat-waves and sweltering cats to bright blue skies and bikes. Here’s the mail that’s been going from and to my mailbox this week… OUTGOING I sent this ‘leather’ themed card to Harry Lock in South Africa a couple of months ago, and feared that it had fallen foul of the postal journey. Thankfully it did arrive, and Harry has sent a reply that arrived this week, which you can see [...]

Mail Art Monday: Plastic, music and a swearing rodent

June 11, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Things are finally starting to get back to normal after the wonderfully long bank holiday, a two day working week and a beer festival. So, I start off my long, 5 days of work with a rather awesome collection of art that’s been whizzing around the globe this past week. OUTGOING First off, 3 postcards made from a large collage found their way to Suus in Mokum (Netherlands), Laura Daniels and Stripygoose (both in the UK). Valentine Mark Herman received a set of 4 game themed Arty Slides for display in his upcoming exhibition in Sigean, France. Pen-pal Christa Sagmoe in the US received my [...]

Mail Art Monday: Magic

April 30, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Hello again! Don’t Mondays come around quickly? Here we are again with the lowdown on my Mail Art comings and goings this week. OUTGOING I started off the week with a ‘lucky’ card for Jennifer Ley in the US. Everyone needs a little luck now and again! While on holiday in Scotland just over a week ago, I sketched 3 postcards of the beautiful scenery around me and popped them straight into the postbox. 2 of these have already arrived at their new homes. Katerina Nikoltsou received this sketch of Loch Lomond… … while Thom Courcelle received a sketch drawn [...]
