With his mail, Serse Luigetti (Italy) sent lots of concepts for new IUOMA logo's which I digitized all and will document later. Here are already a few samples....

Mail to J.F. Chapelle - France

The parcel that J.F Chapelle (France) sent me was well packed. It is a whole performance to just open it. I needed some sissors too as you can see below.

The box was stamped with one of J.F.'s stamps. All I have to do now is open the boz and discover what is inside.

As you can see, a wonderful box with two original rubberstamps in it. Will be tempting to use them for the first time (or keep them like they arrived.

Mail to Jen Staggs - USA

Well, I try to come close to the ZALOP word, but somehow when I start to write it down with paint every time a new word comes up. There are just to many dialects

Result of a busy weekend

Yes, it was a busy weekend. A lot of acrylic painted envelopes are sent out after this weekend. This photo shows how it looks just before sending. I know that some people out there are actually collecting the envelopes. Strange to know that all my works are scattered arround the globe. If someone would want to exhibit all the envelopes I sent out over the decades (must be over 10,000 in total), then they have a difficult task of getting a hold of them.

What I have done since the beginning is document all I send out. In the early days with traditional photos. Nowadays with digital cameras and sometimes also scanned images. keeping track on all that details is quite a task......
