MAiLmeART

mailmeart.jpgMAiLmeART is a new project from Darren Di Lieto, the creator of the great illustration site LCSV4. The new site invites you to submit art with one prerequisite: the art must be created on an envelope or package and have been successfully processed through the post office. I love mail art, so this looks like it’s going to be great! Darren promises that the best submissions will be showcased in a gallery exhibit where they will be sold (to the creators, minus some administrative and housekeeping fees), plus there’s a chance to win prizes for the best submissions.

Don’t bother painting your masterpiece on a canvas only to wrap it up — the wrapping IS your canvas.

    The reincarnation of Ray Johnson’s’ New York Correspondence School! I’ve thought about this in the past, but it’s nice to see how organized this is. I’ll surely participate.

    Mail Art is fantastic, and its really popular in Europe. Two other people who run Mail Art projects are here:
    http://www.blackspecs.de/blogspecs.htm Blackspecs a paris based mail artist who recently got a german design award for his ‘Draw me a Terrorist’ project.

    and http://socks-stockings.blogspot.com/ which is Rolan Harbritter’s current project involving socks!

    Both always reply to Mail Art with more Mail Art! So any Drawn! readers may like to look at these guys too…
