  1. A big thank you to everyone who has sent in pink mail art for the show. We have nearly 200 artists.

    Special Notes to participating artists:

    As you may have noticed I have been posting your work on tumblr, flickr and pinterest. The nature of mail art is such that I sometimes receive anonymous mail art, or pieces with nicknames, first names only or just initials. And like myself, some of you have illegible handwriting so I am not sure who you are. If I got it wrong and need to make a name correction, please email me via tofuart.com

    Also, all pieces will be hung with a horizontal orientation, unless the image makes it obvious that they are meant to be vertical. Or, when your signature on the front of the card makes it clear how to orient the piece. If I have posted your piece and it is not as you intended it to be oriented, please email me via tofuart.com and let me know the correct way to orient the piece. And, if your work is abstract, I will need clear instructions which way you intended for it to be oriented.
