Series (6) Ticket! Ticket! - Cascadia Artpost

In Cascadia when it's spring and the sun shines you can probably find Cascadia Artpost in the garden, pruning, tending to a hose, or scattering seeds.  Then, when the weather turns, he turns indoors, to his diorama or one of his many series.  

Ticket! Ticket! is in its sixth life and I have it on good authority that Cascadia Artpost will turn his hand to series (7) in the summer, possibly July. 

I love to adorn my own mailart with Cascadia's stamps but a full sheet, with the play of colour, the intricate design of other people's ephemera.  It's just magic! Inspect it with care.

and I love to see the care with which Cascadia addresses his envelopes, with the stamps he made WITH MY TICKETS / ephemera. that red one is from the Stowmarket beer festival!

 

NYC Postcard for Manhattan Rebecca

This slick and professional digital collage was created by James Gillen and printed by Funky Pigeon. James, Kevin and I have been exchanging mail art recently and James knows about my NYC roots.  I am touched by his thoughtful mail. 

If you know NYC you might recognise the Chrysler building. Apparently one side of the building is wider than the other, so the eagle is higher on the right. James thinks the Chrysler building is more striking than the Empire State, too. I only went up in the empire State building once, taking a future English husband on a tour. I have never even entered the Chrysler building, but agree it is iconic.

Checkout the recent protrait stamp, Ray Johnson and the sunny NYC vibe of James' terrific mail art.
