An iconic Mail Art Bull, this time in a c(l)ow(n)ed way.
Created and sent by C. Mehrl Bennett from the USA.



In the same week I received an envelope, containing great artistamps (by which I feel honoured!),



including a call for (fe)mail art:



Thank you very much, C.!

Ti Ar Raden

Last week, 19th of February, the (lunar) Year of the Sheep / Ram / Goat has started. Exactly a month before I received this wonderful Ram, together with a Bull, Fish, a Cow and a bunch of other Farm Animals on the Cow's back. Created and sent by Ti Ar Raden.
The doodled/tangled Bull is a Pie Noir, the Ram is a Ouessant Ram.

On the other side some great stamps, among them a speedy Turtle and the Ermine (Stoat), the poor latter looses his/her tail to various coats of arms (among them coats from Brittany and the Netherlands) and royal cloaks (among them the Dutch one)... Fortunately the Ermine is alive and kicking in this beautiful artistamp.



Thank you very much, trugarez vras, Ti Ar!

Ion Isaila

Great drawing made by Ion Isaila.

When someone sends mail art for this Real Weird Animals project, one of the first questions which come into mind is: Which animal this would be?
On the right I see a (wo)man, and on the left an, er...?
First thought this might be a Minotaur, the ancient Greek mythologic animal-man. But probably I'm wrong.
Well, in Art - so also Mail Art - it's never necessary to specify what the beholders (should) see. Look and think your own unique thoughts! Anyway, I like ballpoint drawings, so I'm delighted to have received this work of art from Düsseldorf.



I don't know how Ion knows that I like Smurfs, and I realize that this is the first time that someone addressed a Smurf directly to Real Weird Animals. Which brings a new question in mind: what type of animal would a Smurf be?!?



Thank you very much, Ion!

A 'Thank you' card, probably not intended for this Weird Animals project, but sure well-matching, this beautiful work of mail art by El Taller de Zenón from Spain.



(Besides the Bull Human another animal on this nice Butterfly stamp!)
