Mail art is art which uses the postal system as a medium. The term mail art can refer to an individual message, the medium through which it is sent, or an artistic genre. Mail art is also known as postal art and is sometimes referred to as Correspondence/Mail Art (CMA). Mail artists typically exchange ephemera in the form of illustrated letters, zines, rubberstamped, decorated or illustrated envelopes, artist trading cards, postcards, artistamps, faux postage, mail-interviews, naked mail, friendship books, decos, and three-dimensional objects. An amorphous international mail art network, involving thousands of participants in over fifty countries, evolved between the 1950s and the 1990s. It was influenced by other movements, including Dada and Fluxus. One theme in mail art is that of commerce-free exchange; early mail art was, in part, a snub of gallery art, juried shows, and exclusivity in art. A saying in the mail art movement is "senders receive", meaning that one must not expect mail art to be sent to oneself unless one is also actively participating in the movement.

Oh, I mailed an oil pastel drawing before. Take two sheets of really thick cardboard (Fedex box is fine) that's about two inches longer& wider than the drawing, then cut a rectangular hole slightly smaller than the drawing. Take the board with hole on it and put the drawing on it face down. Then secure it with masking tape. Next, tape the other piece of board. (now you should have a "frame" that you can see the drawing when you turn it over.) Next, take a piece of stiff paper (or thin cardboard) the size of the "frame" and tape it over the frame. Now you can put it in an envolope and write "Artwork do not bend" on it. The thick cardboard will keep a space on the surface of the drawing and prevent it from bending, while the stiff… [cont.] Answered by Astrid Nannerl - Thu Jun 28 17:31:45 2007 Does anyone have talent in fantasy art work and if so can I get your e-mail Address?
