There’s a Narwhal in Our Mail

We’ve received our first blog review of the first editor our mail art zine, Presents. It comes via a participating artist Jessica Gowling, aka NaturesMyFriend, who writes:

While the first edition is sold out, there are still some copies of the second edition available for only $5.

This would’ve been a nice addition to our mail art show.

Mail Art Bulletin: Outside the Envelope

Today’s additions to the Mail Art Bulletin come from California, London and Florida. I want to mention that over the course of the last few month I’ve discovering that my preconceived notions about mail art (a hand-drawn or -printed item in a carefully prepared envelope) are antiquated.
