Happy New Year!

Friends folks countrypeople cousins,

A semi-belated happy new year and a very definitely belated posting of some very definitely fun and beautiful artwork from creative consciousnesses around the globe! I'm getting caught up with this mail arting; I was on semi-hiatus due to a broken wrist (which is healing nicely, hopefully the cast will come off next thursday), a current illness (rather minor in the way of things but a factor nonetheless) and a developing obsession with stopmotion animation, which has conspired to will me away from mail art and into the fabulous world of....well, stopmotion animation! Which is a blast, I gotta tell you!

A hearty thank you to all who have sent me your art, and expect to see something goodfulness in the post to you in return very shortly. Again....thank you all for sharing your creative spirit and bitchin' attitudes! (and I mean that in the most awesomest sense of the word)

Maurizio Follin



I like this cool, cool blue collage ensemble by Italian artist Maurizio. Grazie molto!

Norbert Vanzke



The postcard itself looks like a sploosh of water - Ser gut! The x/y mix and mashup element in the text is very tickly. Vielen Dank, Norbert!

You can see his other submission right this-a-way.

Really enjoy your sense of humor, Mr. Norbert.

Nadia Poltosi



I really dig this Escher/Twilight Zone collage from Nadia in Brasil. Obrigada, Nadia!

Tatyana Makarova



Tatyana sends her x/y collage from Russia, probably with love. She has sewn together hand-painted and graphic illustration, and print/magazine. Love it!

Luis Valera Escarré



Hailing from Venezuela as well - perhaps you and Annijames are neighbors and enjoyed an art night together? Thanks very much!

Annijames Rivero





I especially like the photoboth/mask bit:



This from Annijames in Venezuela - thank you, Anni!
