Ruud Janssen, Netherlands - 2008


Today my order of books from LuLu arrived. 6 kilo's of Mail-Interviews. As you can see the books are quite thick. Some are 360+ pages thick. If you are interested, you can order one or all of them yourself at: http://stores.lulu.com/iuoma The copies that arrived in Breda now are for the TAM-Archive itself. The selling of the books goes quite well. About 50 are already sold and are now in some Mail-Art collections for sure. I am working on a new book as well. Details will follow when the time is right.

I'm giving away the prints to close friends but I wanted you to have them for 'mail artist self portrait project'.

Hope all is well with you. More mail soon.

Best wishes,

Heike Sackmann - Germany (2007)



On the question: which year is the photo taken, I got the reply:

Hey Ruud,

I forgot the year - the silhouette by me is from 2007.
The photos from my parents are from 1948/1949.

Have a nice day.

Yours

Joan Desmond, USA (2008)



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......
