Mail Art

mailart-headerMailartists.com has moved here. My original mailartists site included all kinds of art in the mail: Artistamps, decorated envelopes, ATCs, zines, and more. If it can be sent through the mail and is predominantly art, it’s probably mailart.

Most of my original (2001 – 2006) articles are on this site. Many include free, printable art. Some have broken links. (I’m working on that.)

You can use the category menu to find even more related articles.

Here are some related articles, to get you started:
