valentine mark herman (france)



Cool cat mailart I received from Valentine Mark in reply to a cat card I sent him.

dr. brignone (italy)



A lovely lino cut from Dr Brignone, who thoughtfully printed it on the back of a picture of a pile of fish(?) for my food-themed mailart call.

This is Andy's drawing of a comic character called Usagi Yojimbo. The comic's creator and its fans are based in the US, apparently, so I'd never heard of it until I googled it today. Mailart can be very educational. :p

fumiko koga (japan)


This must be my week for paper-cut art cards! I received this striking "kiri-e" from a new etegami friend in southern Japan. The image is based on the head of a demon/ogre as depicted in a traditional festival float.

bifidus jones (usa)



I love the subtle colors of this mailart collage.

guido vermeulen (belgium)



The art on the envelope is titled "I'm afraid of a Japanese fishing tanker," and the photo shows a piece of work titled "Do you like Turtle Soup?" As always, Guido's art is full of humor.

kiera pannell (canada)


Kiera sent me a paper cut art from a photograph, an illustrated envelope, and an invitation to a mailart call on the theme of culture and language. Kiera, I'll try to send something for your call!
