Year of the Horse

To celebrate the Year of the Horse my new series of mail art uses hand-carved, rubber stamps and was inspired by some of the world’s oldest known horse art. These are on their way to mailboxes around the world.

Year of the Snake 🐍

 
To celebrate the Year of the Snake my latest series of mail art used hand-carved, rubber stamps.  Of course, it’s the endangered and beautiful San Francisco Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia).  Let’s hope the snake can bring us peace and harmony and rid us of all those unwanted pests. Happy New Year!  

Dragons! Dragons! Dragons!

My Year of the Dragon mail art piece has been going around the world. And I have been receiving mail art celebrating the Lunar New Year as well.

1. Fleur Helsingor has incorporated an Oakland mural into her piece.
2. Sabela Baña sent a very happy looking dragon card.
3. Gina Visione created a very regal looking dragon.
4. Jennie Hinchcliff did a commemorative artist stamp sheet.
5. R.F. Côté’s latest issue of Circulaire 132 features the set of dragons I mailed off to Québec.   
6. Ryosuke Cohen newest Brain Cell has my dragon in the mix as well.

I anticipate a few more dragons will be arriving in my P.O. box soon. 

Happy Year of the Dragon

 

As soon as I got my Lunar New Year’s stamps from the USPS I started carving rubber stamps for a new series of Dragon Mail Art.

Year of the Rabbit - Happy New Year!

Each year the US Postal Service’s Lunar New Year Stamp inspires me to make some mail art. This time some hand carved rubber stamps for The Year of the Rabbit.

The Year of the Tiger

The U.S. Postal Service has come up with a great commemorative stamp for the lunar new year. The Year of the Tiger is my favorite one (guess why).  I thought the best way to celebrate was with some mail art.  After making some hand-carved rubber stamps, these postcards are on their way around the world.

Dogs in the Mail

Sometimes a new stamp from the U.S. Postal Service inspires me to make some mail art.  The Year of the Dog stamp for this week’s Lunar New Year was one of those stamps.  The original idea was to do a printed and individually hand colored series.  But, as I wanted to send a bunch of these, I opted for printing a small batch from an original.  They are in the mail now.
