It's heartwarming to have you take part in this Ian, before we met. I had never even heard of mail art. Thanks.

These beautiful collaged self portraits come from Russia. I believe all of these young artists are 9 years old. An email quote follows. Thank you very much Aleksandr, Darya, and Ilona. Also thanks you Vitaly, these are a welcome addition to this exhibit.

This is a beautifully crafted piece. It is rubberstamped and stitched with white thread. On the address side is a small artist stamp which is also a self portrait. Thanks Frips.

Scott Thomas





I am stunned, taken aback, taken in three other directions, over this one! Scott has taken an ordinary Thank You card and transformed it into this masterpiece. I am not even sure which one of these creatures represents him. Maybe all, or maybe none of them. Anyway, thanks to all the faeries, pixies, sprites, aliens, and humans involved.

From the Legendary Ruud Janssen. I love his hand painted envelope. It makes me want to try painting one myself. Check Ruud's 'International Union Of Mail Artists' (IUOMA) in my links section.

Collaged with applied stickers, this self portrait also seems to be a cat portrait as well, and is full of Halloween symbols.

Here are three interesting digital self portraits that arrived via email. Guvenc did not include a postal address, maybe he prefers email contact. Thanks.
