I have a crush on handwritting and callygraphy, so I had this theme up on mail-art forums for some time. This was a funny postcard I got from Andrea Jay, in New York. It really brightened my day.
Well, this time I’m showing a special letter. I’ve always fell in love with this type of incoming mail, but it took me awhile to understand what this was and how it worked. This is a small part of something much bigger called “Brain Call Project”, started by Ryosuke Cohen, around 1985 in Japan. It’s a collaboration wrk from mailartists all around the world who fill an A3 blank sheet with stencil, illustration and stamps. There’s also a contact sheet attached so I can send something not only for Ryosuke, ut also for every single person who signed this. It is a very exciting mail, with bright colours and creativity.
Two beautiful postcards that I got a while ago, but still make my heart cozy and warm. The first one tells us about love letters and it was given to me by António Vieira, in Brazil. The second was sent to me by Bernhard Zilling, a german mail-artist who does not miss the chance to send the cutest things for my project.
This is a heartfelt project that unites letter writters and postcard collectors, into a kindred community. For those who love and wish to share smiles, love and kindness to unknown mailboxes, all around the world.
