Richard Canard, the prolific postalist


Sent me a postcard and asked if the fish on the postcard were carp and not koi. Same thing really, even the same as goldfish. All bony fishes not suited for eating that sometimes produce pretty mutations. Also all fish.


He also asked that I send something fishy to Ms. Adamandia Kapsalis in Chicago, who runs "The Fishy Requisite."

Serendipity's reply




So at some point when I first got started with Mailart, I had sent something out to someone named Serendipity.




At some point in my dead-time, I got this, which was stuffed full of things. Included were 2 cds, one of which was some gay channel shows, and the other was a music cd which, unfortunately, I haven't had the time to watch.


There were a few advertisements for sex toy stores, some very nice postcards she had received from others, as well as several invitations to participate in various mailart projects.




Since she likes sex stuff, I've begun a new series I'm calling "Porn-star constellations."


She should be getting it soon.

Tonia Locke's great work!











This came from a Tonia Locke from Spokane, WA. I really liked the work on the envelope, and even though I couldn't decipher what she was trying to say on the inside, it obviously took great effort, and it shows.

Who is obsessed with the wherabouts of an important figure in the history of Mailart apparently, by the name of David Zack.


I've looked up a bit about David Zack, and he seems like a pretty interesting person. Unfortunately, the concensus seems to be that he was dissappeared in Mexico some time in the 80's.


If you know anything more about what happened to David Zack, please, let me know so I can let him know.

Martyna from Poland?


I got this postcard, which I thought was just plain awesome, from someone named "Martyna" from Poland. Unfortunately, I don't speak Polish, and don't have an interpreter to read what she said on the back, so I'll blindly assume that it was complimentary.


Again, no return address.

Florida State Bird


I got this postcard, again, sometime during the past year and a half. It came from someone who I contacted through a place called "Tribes.net" which I haven't used since.


They didn't leave contact info however, so I won't be able to reply.
