Hana Ehagaki (2)

This beautiful goat drawing has been issued on a postcard. I was so lucky to receive this card from the designer herself, Hana Ehagaki from Japan.
And look at the great Goat stamp and suitable green stamp!



Thank you very much, Hana!

Henry Denander

Some time ago I drew a Donkey for Henry's Donkey Mail Art Project, and recently I was surprised by receiving the documentation of his project, a booklet full of these dear animals!

The great booklet arrived in an envelope which I love, too: there are Donkey artistamps and rubberstamp prints!



Thank you very much, Henry!

Katerina Nikoltsou (15)

Onions and Gorillas, a weird combination, though not so weird when you consider the (mis)spelling of the Union.
Great collage, created by Katerina Nikoltsou from Greece.



On the envelope the famous wise Owl. While the back of the mail art card shows the one who brought me this wonderful mail art from Katerina: the Mail Pigeon!



Thank you very much, Katerina!

John Edwards (4)

The regular postcard below wasn't the reason for posting this great mail from John Edwards, even though it shows British Wildlife, because a regular card isn't mail art. But look at that drawn Snail on the backside (see above)! Great Snail Mail Snail!



Thank you very much, John!

Otto Sherman

Otto Sherman from the USA created a lot of great artistamps showing famous or notorious people.
I was happy to also receive these cow and rat artistamps and cockroach rubber stamp prints, because I love more to post lovely and useful animals (yes, real rats and cockroaches really are!) on this Real Weird Animals blog than not-so-friendly human 'beasts'.



Check Otto's website for more of his mail art.
Great drawing, too!



Thanks a lot, Otto!

Eva (15)

Sometimes you can find mail art in tiny edges of the post. In the Year of the Sheep Eva drew me this beautiful sweet Mail Sheep in a corner of the back side of her envelope.

Inside the envelope she sent two sheep postcards. Among them this great postcard from Estonia, showing Sheep, pictured by Estonian photographer Mihkel Valdma.

Nicole Eippers (19)

Already as a child I was fascinated by the Axolotl. In the seventies I had a book from the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam, in which there was a black and white picture showing this amazing weird deep water amphibian.
Nicole Eippers sent me a coloured version of axolotls from Belgium, along with two of my other favourites: a Snail and a Mole. And of course her famous Piggy mail art pig.

Hartelijk dank, merci beaucoup, Nicole!
