Weird Existing Animals

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.

Kerosene (9)

Beautiful artistamps, made by Darlene Altschul, from California, sent to me by Kerosene from Canada!

Besides the Turtles / Tortoises on these stamps she also added this Sea Turtle, probably swum from an encyclopedia:

And some other interesting creatures:

All arrived in this envelope:

Thank you very much, Kerosene!

Kerosene (7)

Kerosene always knows to find special animal pictures. I thought I've received all of them throughout the years, but fortunately the source had not yet run out.
The Gerbil, Pinguin and Sea Horse. What to say... Weird and lovely, all of them!

She also sent some colourful artistamps...

...and something to prepare for the New Year!

Only ten days left for the Chinese New Year, which will start the 19th of February and will be the Year of the Sheep and the Goat!

Thank you very much, Kerosene!

Kerosene & Flypaper

'La Malaisie est en parte couverte de jungle' - Malaysia is partly covered with jungle.
'... not so long ago', Kerosene adds...
I think deforestation is such a shame and pity (and we all contribute to that, as long as we aren't aware of what we buy, and keep on buying). As biodiversity and all of our 'lungs' suffer from that highly. All rain forests who have gone, are gone for all our lifetimes... Protection and common sense needed!

Thank you so much, Kerosene, for this aware mail art!

Carolyn Oord

What a big surprise! After having sent the very first contribution to the 'Solitude' mail art project, Carolyn Oord continued to make me happy by sending these eight weird mammals from Canada. Or even more animals (do I see moose or reindeer calves on the stamp? And a walking fish rubber stamp print!)!

Click on the image to enlarge. From left to right, you can see the Manatee, the Giant Anteater, the Tarsier, the Galago, the Kinkajou, the Aye-aye, the Bandicoot, and even predecessors of our present horse.

Thank you very much, Carolyn!
