An invitation to the Artistamp Revue

Mail artists plough their particualr furrows. I get seeds and zines from Cascadia.  The Voyageur Postal sends doodles and exotic collages. Joel sends stickers. It seems that my new correspondent, Adam Roussopoulos, makes stamp issues.  This is very exciting.

I admire his asemic DADA take on stamps.  I wonder why X and Utopia. I used to trade with AMBASSADE D'UTOPIA in France.  What is the connection?

 Does Adam know that fuchsia is just about my favourite colour?

I am sure that one morning I will wake as say, 'today is the day I will apply myself to stamps and send them to Adam. In the meantime, thank you and delighted to add you to my correspondent's list.

 

Hanner Postcard Swap: Angie

I haven't partaken of any formal mail art swaps in a long time but the Hanner postcard swap caught my eye so I said YES! 

The first postcard to arrive was from Angie Bobangie in Wisconsin. I love the colour, the frentic energy and the way the random pieces fit together to speak to me about life in lockdown.  This is a no theme swap so I am sure I am reading into the piece, but it was certainly the perfect way to start the swap, feel connected to American mail art friends who are also navigating in this strange time! Angie and I did mailart 365 at the same time, woah, that was a long time ago!

Thank you Angie and I love your stamp!
