Call for Mail Art: Weird (existing) Animals! Platypus, Tapir, Okapi, Echidna, Mole, Axolotl are some of my favourite animals. They have in common that they exist irl and that they are uncommon. Which animal do you think odd? Send your image of an unusual (existing, no fantasy) animal. All media are welcomed, preferable postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms). No jury, no fee, no return. All weird existing animals will be published in this ongoing virtual exhibition.

From the Azores
A looong envelope.... Containing (among other interesting info and a message) four looong pictures from weird, interesting animals from the Azores islands. The fact that the animals were pictured on bookmarks, explained the curious size of the envelope.
Here they are:
The Azorean Bat, the Loggerhead Turtle, Cory's Shearwater and the Roseate Tern.
Obviously the illustrator had not intended these as mail art, but the fact they were send by snail mail in such a funny envelope, and that these animals indeed are weird, special, made me think they belong here, too.
Amazingly drawn by the Portugese illustrator Fernando Correia (his amazing website is worth a visit!) and sent to me by Eva. Moltes gràcies, Eva!
