www.ArtWanted.com/iuoma is the place where I have published some of the artworks I have made. Seems like this site grows quickly and brings many visitors. Funny are the comments it brings from fellow artists and the rating system. I know mail-artists don't like to rate artworks. But we also do know we like certain things more than others. For me it is interesting to see how people I don't know react to the works. Do they understand what am doing and what I want to express?

The International Union of Mail-Artists is where the IUOMA stands for, but actually it is one of the aspects of the Mail-Art that Ruud Janssen has produced in the last 38 years. A lot has been written by him in this period and in his BLOG he writes about the most recent views and thoughts. For Snail-Mail write to: iuoma@outlook.com

Mail-Art and Mail-Art Blogs
An interesting reaction to the BLOG's by Jim Hayes (USA). He writes on his card that it is just impossible to keep up with all those mail-art blogs that have poped up, let alone find the time to keep one online himself. Yes, the digital world also absorbes a lot of time, and it doen't bring you more time to spend on ceating that traditional snail-mail.
I too find it less interesting to see all the digital work of others. The hard-copies in the mailbox are still my favorite. But I do know that a lot of newcomers have discovered mail-art because of the online world, and have started to send out their pieces.
