Outgoing envelopes December 2017

TO Be Or Not To Be

Made the envelope for Ryosuke Cohen in Japan

New foam rubberstamps

With the foam letters I made a set of new rubberstamps that deal with specific words used in the network. Beside the known IUOMA, Fluxus and MoMa, also DkultN and Trashpo, but off course in a way that some letters look different. They print fine on an envelope:

They even have the possibility to stamp a few times and cause different intensity of the rubberstamp ink on the paper. I printed the stamps first to make a wooden stamp complete with name on it:

And off course sent out a few envelops to share the result with others.

The results

As a result of the new stamp I created these new envelopes, all handstamped and started to send them into the network. The photos are already online while the postal office is still digesting the mail. Should arrive somewhere next week ar the receivers address. Will see what the reactions will be. The nternet causes quick reactions, the snail-mail art network causes delayed reactions.

More stampsheets into the network.....

A set of envelopes with prints from rubberstamps goes out today into the network. We will see if it brings back any new stampprints for my TAM Rubberstamp Archive. Each letter also includes an A3 xerox copy of one of my new drawings where I wrote a special note on.

New 5089 stamp for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive

A new stamp arrived today with the 5089 logo from Moan Lisa for his 5089 movement. We are starting to see the signs all over Facebook, but with the stamps it will reach the traditional network as well. fos me the crossing of the networks is alway fascinating.

Above you see how the rubberstamps is integrated with all the others rubberstamps from the TAM Rubberstamp Archive.  The first envelopes are on their way, and so the spreading has started even more.....

Series of 3 new stamps by Ruud Janssen

Three stamps:

Digital Future
Analog Human
Worldwideweb

They are connected; we believe in the new digital future but sometimes forget we are analog humans that don't always fit in perfectly

combinations of single stamps will be intehrated with outgoing mail-art in 2015

Digital Future and Worldwideweb stamps

New rubberstamps made out of Foam letters with the texts "Digital Future" and "Worldwideweb" to be used in the snail mail-art network. Traces of the digital images however are published on Facebook, Blogs, and therefore go much more faster into the world.

Outgoing to Japan
