Another card that will go out this week.... 

Discovered the reaction from Nico on his Blog. Seems some of his 'trash' that he logs on www.trashlog.org is now on its way to me.... 

The bull to Nico arrived quickly. It is already on his blog (see link beside this text). Nico van Hoorn runs the trashlog, but now als has started a mail-art log besides that.... We'll see how that developes.... 

Another 25 years card goes out today (31-1-2005) 

This card went out to someone today (31-1-2005) 

One of the BULL envelopes I enlarged for you. Quite a few went out today. Maybe in the coming week they will pop up on some of those BLOG's. That sure would be funny. 

Letter to Sol Nte that goes out today. It includes the open letter by Allen Bukoff from www.fluxus.org.

Joseph W. Huber

See http://josephwhuber.blogspot.com/ for a new blog to remember Joseph W. Huber from former East-Germany. This photo he sent me in 1984. His mail-Art from the 80-ies I have sent to the Schwering Museum in Germany. They have a collection of mail-art and also organised the Exhibition Mail-Art in Easter-Europe (end of the 90-ies).

BULL's on their way to some of you!

The BULLS are out! Rocola (San Francisco, USA) sent me the original BULL-stamp in the late 90-ies. He included my name after I met him in San Francisco in 1996, when John Held Jr. and I visited him. The concept is simple. Every person gets a small part of the bull. The rubberstamp is made in an edition and is mounted on a woorden block. Every name gets one stamp. Quite honored to be included in this bunch. Also honnered to know so many of these folks as well. I made envelopes with prints again and am sending them out with new stampsheets included in them. This time for Guy Bleus his archive. He must have already lots of sheets.......

Collage by Roy Arenella - NY - USA.
 

Roy Arenella's newest card - backside. This time not a Photo Card, but an original Collage Card.
 

Envelope that will go out today to Michael Lumb. A reaction to his DODO story that was published online and offline. Is mail-art still alive?
 

Envelope that will go out today to John M. Bennett (USA).
 

Jim Hayes from USA always sends surprising stuff. The last week two mailings from him. Seems he also received my photo of a previous envelope to him and he used it on his sending
 

Card from Roy Arenella - received on January 27th 2005

The backside of the card I received today from Roy Arenella (USA)

Latest card by Roy Arenella. Actually, the letter he mentioned on the other side of the card already arrived and is published below. The timefactor is also interesting when dealing with the traditional mail. The order in which snail-mail is sent isn't the same order the receiver gets it. Sometimes a letter gets lost and takes months..... Not this card. I like the symbols Roy wrote on the photopaper before developing the paper. One more for my valuable archive of Roy's Photocards. 

John M. Bennett (Luna Bisonte Prods, 137 Leland Ave. Columbus, OH 43214, USA) sent me a large envelope with lots of goodies. Just like during the interview I did somewhere in 1996, he now sent me another shoppinglist. He added on it: FLUX LIST, since we both are members of that Fluxlist. Now you know what John bought in one early day, january 2005. 

Mr. Timothy R. O'Neal, U.S.P.S. Mail Artist, 1412 N.W. 46th Street, Oklahoma City,OK 73118, USA, sent me this envelope filled with lots of stickers. He writes that he has no access to Internet and wants to get in touch with other mail-artists. So I you are looking for new contacts, send him something. You might get the same bunch of stickers from him! 

Received this card from Pati Bristow today. 

Will I have more than 100 hits tomorrow?

My last attempt to reach a high-score with hits on this BLOG didn't succeed. There were however 76 hits on one single day, so not really bad. Now, a second attempt. For the coming 24 hours I ask you to place as many hits on this site. To make it worth while: I added about 10 new cards below. Explore them, leave comments, and you might even become the owner of one of those cards. I will post the statistics on Febrary 1st, so you can see how you visitors did....
