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 Mail Pigeon is an important animal in mail history and now has been honoured by a stamp. This Pigeon not only brought this mail art to me but also accompanies the famous mail art historical Rabbit on this great mail art sent by Mim.
The 18th of November was (and next year will be) Banana Appreciation Day. That's why the front side of this mail art shows Bananas. Food for many animals (as long as they eat not too much). Home to many small creatures, like mealybugs and scale insects. And the Banana ex- and import also provides a means of transport to all kinds of animals, like spiders.
Thank you very much, Mim!

Thanks for posting. I like the pigeon rubber stamp a lot as appreciate pigeons service as mail carriers during the great war. Also, my family name means pigeon in Russian. Nice connection.
