Typical Dutch Postage

Outgoing to Ryosuke Cohen - Japan

Another envelope goes out to Ryosuke Cohen in japan. I just received Brain Cell #985 and the tempo of the issues is strionfg and steady.End of this year I expext the number 1000 if everything goes well and Ryosuke has the strength and energy and resources to keep this going.

What's next?

This is one of the oldest blogs I have. It is also a wonderful archive of mail-art that came in over the years and was sent to me in the past decades. The digital world works fascinating. So many old mail-art can be veiwed now. On the other hand, not much is being sent out these days since the postal cost of international mail-art is extreme......

So we all wonder, what is next. Will we be able to send out more mail-art. A new generation is taking over and learns about mail-art online, and starts to send out traditional mail-art as a reaction and documents the process online. New archives are being created while the older archives are brought into museums and libaries.
