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.

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!

From the Sketchbook series (1)

Twimc: the Weird Existing Animals also in 2011 is open for entries! So your weirdest animal drawing, collage, painting still is welcomed here!

As it has been silent in my mailbox, I'd think to post an entry here myself. I'm glad to announce that I finished my Sketchbook for the 'Sketchbook Project' today, and sent it to Brooklyn this afternoon.
The theme I choose for this first sketchbook was 'This is not a sketchbook'. And some of the pages are dedicated to, of course, animals. This page is one of them.
Which of these animals would be weirdest?

Update: Good news on July 9th 2011: the people of Art House Coop have digitalized my 'This is not a sketchbook' book. So you can see the complete 'This is not a sketchbook' now online here!
