The original plan for the Mail-Art selfportraits was to make it a digital project. But some can't resist to send me beautiful mail-art for the project, which I will use as well off course.

More than one portrait is allowed

Dear participants. It is allowed to send in more than one portrait. Especially when the year of taking is very different it gives a nice idea of how the artists has aged......

Hi Ruud - Here I am on the coast of Maine playing with lobster buoys

Your Self-Portrait Blog is a great idea - also your ongoing interview. I had a look at both this morning and I absolutely LOVE the story you tell about the most memorable piece of mailart you have received.

Hallo Ruud,

Volgens mij is het mailtje wat ik vorige week verzonden heb ergens in cyberspace blijven hangen. En de volgende daarna dus schijnbaar ook. Vandaar nu een mailtje met mijn thuis-email.
Hierbij nogmaals een foto van mij: Foto is in 2000 genomen (plusminus) in Urk (of all places)

Groetjes, peace and be wild

John Parkes - Australia (2007)

Hello Ruud

Your self portrait idea is a good one. Yes, to see faces that belong to blogs in cyberspace is good. The problem that seems to have arisen is that 'self portrait' has a very specific meaning and that is most of the reason the project is challenging,

Personally, any image of me that is intended as a self portrait will be created by my own hand...

here's to all the new SELF portraits... have a go, mate!

with thanks

John
