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.

The Rat is a very clever animal. And despite of (or maybe because of) the fact that rats have a lot in common with humans, for which they sadly are used for scientific experiments, many people despise this interesting animal.
The good news is that there are also people who assess the value of the Rat. See for instance Ratatouille (one of my all-time favourite movies), and the English band The Stranglers named their debute album after this smart mammal. And of course in the Chinese zodiac there's the Year of the Rat (only six years to go from now).
This beautiful mixed media minimal art mail art has been created by Kelly Gorman from the USA.
Besides collages she creates fine drawings and paintings. You can find more of her artwork on her website and at Etsy.
Thank you very much, Kelly!
