Crunching your scales with GU

Gina Ulgen's work is slick, beautiful and funny! It makes me a little squeemish and I have a visceral response  - I find myself feeling a little itchy.  What would it be like to have scales or a big conch shell on my body? If we think it's difficult to be human, imagine what it would be like to be endowed with fishy bits! Think most despised politician with an eel's bottom half…

Although each image is perfect - I have taken the liberty of scanning double page spreads - my personal fave is the one set in the old gym. The man in the jacket and the girl in the bloomers, spotting the gymnast with a shell for legs. As a gymnast and a teacher of gymnastics, I have had pupils with cluncky body parts, I've even felt a little fishy in some of my moves and I have worried that something might shatter if i wasn't absolutely careful every second!

The other outstanding part of this mailing is the book below: Ana's Lonely Hearts Club. What a wonderful idea and the way Ana has imagined and drawn her characters is inspiring!

Thank you Gina and Ana, this is really a very special mailing! 

Look what's hiding under Marie (Antoinette)'s dress - Gina Ulgin's

There is very little to say about this WONDERFUL, beautiful, fun mail art because it has been so utterly conceived and exectued by Gina Ulgen that no explanation is necessary! I don't know what Gina does in her real life, but she certainly has an aesthetic, designer's eye - the contents of this letter would give Papyrus or Paperchase stationary and tiny little things you can't live without envy. 

I am delighted to have been on Gina's edition list. Summer is sweet and I have even eaten a few slices of cake! Merci!
