Mick Boyle & Kiyotei
First, I made a Christmas card, emailed it and posted it to a yahoo mail art group. Then along comes trickster Kiyotei and reinterprets it wonderfully. Fun huh?

2 From Roy Arenella
Here are two photographic self portraits from Roy Arenella. The first one could be a modern petroglyph, the second one feels enclosed and mysterious. It seems to show the interior of something Roy's image through a vertical window. I am glad to get these.

Ross sends this by email. He tells me that this portrait was taken by his 7 year old son Luke and was manipulated by Mark Sonnenfeld. Thanks Ross. The link below will take you to his blog "The 5 Million Copies Project" (or is it 5 Gazillion by now?)

Here we have a collaged self portrait from Vittore. I wish I had a pair of 3D glasses here to look at this one.

C.Z. Lovecraft
I love this one. This blue envelope was stuffed full of all sorts of interesting things. I had to decide which one was a self portrait, I hope I got it right. Included among these was the first ATC (artist trading card) I have ever received (Yes! this is a hint, send me more.) Thanks for this abundant mail art treasure.

This is a combination of pen and ink and rubber stamps. He has transformed the envelope into a beautiful and enigmatic all over landscape.

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.

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.
