I guess I’m on a roll with mail art this week. Recently I read an interview with a mail artist and thought it was interesting. He makes mail art out of junk mail. I don’t know about you, but I have a gazillion pieces of junk mail and hate it. He has a great solution for it!

So, go check out the interview with Artist Rev K over at the Bearded Bunny Blog.

Also, on the same topic I’d like to recommend the book Creative Correspondence. They have a great section about how to creatively repurpose junk mail.

What is Hessian’s art hunt? Okay, that’s a crazy small world story!

He goes to different cities and hides art in parks! He’s actually a fellow Minneapolisian (?) but he’s done a bunch all over the states.

Hi William!! So happy you stopped by. The art hunts sound so cool — you need to bring one to Arkansas! I tried to click on the info link that talks about how you bring an art hunt to your city, but it’s broken. Waah!
