Mail Art

Mail art is so totally cool! Sam found this great mail art project that is going on right now. Ask me to see the ones that I have done in the past! Which one of you will join the movement?
Mail Me Art is a British-based project, run by Darren Di Lieto, the founder and co-editor of the illustration news portal the Little Chimp Society. Over the course of a year, the first Mail Me Art project brought together a vast collection of artistic work sent in the form of mail by both professional and amateur artists of all ages from across the world. A wide variety of media were used in an equally wide variety of styles and the work arrived on everything from postcards and envelopes to boxes and pieces of wood.

Gah! That is so cool! I like how the envelope can start to build a history of its on, and that you can sent it all over the world!

The more I think about it, the more interesting it is...what role will growing technology (i.e. e-mail) on mail art?
