Received from Janneke

Via Postcrossing ontving ik deze prachtige, door Janneke geïllustreerde envelop (met daarin 'n mooie kaart van Karsten Teich).

This fabulous illustrated envelope was made by Janneke and sent via Postcrossing (the postcard has been made by Karsten Teich)).



(De ware mail art kunstenaar gebruikt van alles wat met post te maken heeft, zo ook de randen van postzegelvellen.
The true mail artist uses all kind of post stuff, also the edges of the stamp sheets! This one with a nice statement: Long live the forest!)

Received from Tic Tac

Documentation on the fabulous mail art project 'Message in a Bottle'.



I'm always amazed and admiring how Ptrzia/TicTac makes such sharp pictures of the contributions. I received your documentation with a lot of pleasure, Ptrzia!

And of course all contributions cause a lot of joy. It's surprising that the words Message in a bottle inspire artists to so many different versions of bottles and messages! See with own eyes and enjoy yourself on the TicTac's Message in a Bottle website.



A previous TicTac mail art project is Bubbles.
Besides mail art project leader Ptrzia/TicTac is also a mail artist and a photographer.



Thank you very much, grazie mille, muchas gracias, Patrizia!

De wolf en de drie biggetjes

Als kind zag ik sprookjes als normale kinderverhalen. Pas nu merk ik hoeveel wreeds er in die 'onschuldige' sprookjes huist.
Dus... Wat anders te doen dan de wolf en drie biggetjes gebroederlijk bij elkaar tekenen?

As a child I thought fairytales were normal stories. Now I'm a little older I realize how much cruelty is in these 'innocent' stories.
So... What else to do than draw the wolf and the three little pigs amicably together?

Verzonden naar / Sent to Belgium.
