MAIL ART by Dean Grey



















Receiving an envelope in the mail like this is downright exhilarating. Seeing it there among the bills, pleas for cash and discount fliers was like finding a flower among the ruins. Yeah, a bit melodramatic perhaps, but I was positively joyful when I saw it.

Amazing artist, author, photographer and new friend Dean Grey featured one of his incredible envelopes on his blog one day. I was so intrigued I chatted with him about it and he offered to exchange mail art. Yea!! I haven't done mine as yet and thankfully he's cool with the delay, but I thought this was definitely something I needed to share.

Check out Dean's amazing work and words at: http://explodingdoughnut.blogspot.com/

Working on another still life, have to finish the vase and the remaining certificate paintings. Then a new start. Figurative painting with a concept of some sort keeps running around, bouncing off the little gray cells. Need models. Need to take photos. Need to get out of the house.
