More envelopes for De Villo Sloan - USA

Because I know De Villo Sloan collects these envelopes, I am now sending him a bunch of them with the same theme, but with a different 'attitude'.  In todat it must be about 8 envelopes which I sent with intervals of a day or two. So he might get a few at the same time, but it will really be pooring in this week at his P.O. Box........

Sent this letter to Jack Latteman (Cascadia Artpost)  in USA.  Besides the acrylic painted envelope, I also collaged the address with individual letters. The Postal Workers might have some problems with reading an address this way, but I will know soon if it arrived or not.

It is a colourful way of aying thank you for the wonderful mail Jack sent me. His collection of seeds with May flowers arrived and will be planted. A lovely  gesture to send seeds of flowers worldwide to make the Earth look a bit more colourful......

mail to De Villo Sloan _USA

I have decided to send a batch of envelopes to De Villo Sloan from the current series. This way he can see how each envelope has its own little twist. Inside some envelopes is also a print of another envelope so he gets a glimpse in advance of the other one that is on its way too....

Found Mike Dyars new P.O. Box number again, so decided to send him an enveloppe with a letter.

IUOMA foam stamps distribution

Last week I made over 20 of these foam rubber stamps with the logo IUOMA. I am sending them to selected mail-artists as a gift. We will see how this starts to generate prints throughout the network.

Mail to Uli Grohmann - Germany

Is mail-art dead?

Because so many things happen online, I made this foam rubberstamp with the text "Is mail-art Dead? where the word DEAD was written in black, also the R in ART,so the question could also be is mail at r dear. Anyhow the first images were posted on facebook  and caused reactions from mail-artists online. They say it isn't dead......   So I stamped the new made stamp on some envelopes and started to send them out into the network, like real traditional mail-art.

Mail to Heleen de Vaan - Netherlands

A small postal experiment. On the address I left out the cityname, also the fact that it is a P.O. Box.  Normally a zipcode and the follow up number of the mail should be sufficient. We will see it that worked. Since with the first mailing I still wanted to help them a bit I wrote on one side Post and on the other side Bus (Dutch for Box), and on the top in A, what indicates both meanings: in A Postbox, but also in Amsteleen, where Heleen actually lives.
