James Gillen's mail art is instantaneously recogniseable. His graphic imagery dances around the shape. And this is a great shape! The postcard measures 18 x 12 cm. This would be a problem in America, although from our post office on Cranberry Island I have succesfully mailed odd shaped envelopes etc… I'm not so keen on the way the stamp was hand cancelled. I'll bet the machine would have left a more interesting mark.
from US post office:
You may think that your mailpiece is a "postcard," because it is a single sheet of paper. But to qualify for mailing at the First-Class Mail postcard price, it must be:
- Rectangular
- At least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick
- No more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick
