Artistamps

Making artistamps is an opportunity to communicate certain cultural and political views publicly. We generally swap postcards, envelopes and stamp sheets via the USPS.

President Obama Inaugural Commemorative

 

President Obama’s head is superimposed on the heads of a series of ceramic “People Pots,” which were “tongue-in-cheek” for sale.

“Home” Group Books

Who doesn’t want to collaborate with other artists? A group of us decided to publish and swap books on the theme of “Home.” Each created as many copies of their page as participants and one of us collated, bound and mailed the books to each of us. Naturally, since this was a spin-off of an artistamp group, we called ourselves Home for Wayward Artists, and our page included artistamps.

I have a friend in the Mail Art universe who asked me to send a piece in support of the postal system. The end of snail mail would undoubtedly make the world, and our mailboxes, a much less interesting and dynamic place.

The little girl  is the protagonist of a graphic novel now in process.
