Bunny Shirt


On Ebay I was looking for Ray Johnson related items. Normally I trace something by Rain Rien then. To my surprise I found an offer for this T-Shirt. Seems they actually sell a few of them throug www.ebay.com (just look for Ray Johnson). Mail-Art is getting commercialized. Funny.

Roland Halbritter enlarged the sent stampsheet a bit and produced this poster for the 25 years celebration of the TAM Rubberstamp Archive. He published this photo on his blog after he discovered that I received the mailing. We both look on eachothers blog, but now tend to keep it a surprise to what we send to eachother......
