urban postcard art exchange

[killer b]

my folks are on holiday atm, and i just received these lovely handpainted postcards from them:

got me thinking it might be a nice thing to do here: using a similar method to the urburn cd exchange thing in the music forum - anyone interested would pm me with their address, which will then be anonymously passed on to one other person also involved. then everyone do a postcard and post it.

anyone interested?

 

[cesare]

Me! Great idea. Would they have to be hand painted, or would it be OK to send one with a written note on back of why chosen?

 

[killer b]

Don't see why not.

 

[cesare]

Sounds good

 

[fractionMan]

[killer b]

[fractionMan]

Do photographs count?

 

[killer b]

yep. i wouldn't want to be prescriptive of what counts as art - painting, collage, found objects, photos, whatever.

could probably do with a few more people signed up mind...

Count me in, I'll send one of you a poem.

[DaveCinzano]

They're the things that keep the lines straight.

Sarcasm will only get you anthrax

[DaveCinzano]

I'm not PMing you my address

I feel twitchy enough doing it to killer b.

 

[5t3IIa]

I don't understand the rules I just want an excuse to get my nice pen out

 

[DaveCinzano]

That post is ripe for discourteous editing, hurr hurr hurr

 

[5t3IIa]

Quiet. I am totally to be trusted - I did this once

 

[fractionMan]

Mine will be my work address so nothing totally crude pls.

 

[Onket]

[killer b]

I don't understand the rules I just want an excuse to get my nice pen out

1. create work of postable art
2. pm me your address
3. receive another address from me
4. send your art to said address
5. receive art from other anonymous urbanite.

 

[Edie]

I am not arty but I would like to do it!

 

[killer b]

don't think that's a problem edie - me neither.

welcome back btw.

 

[killer b]

Fwiw, I think one rule should be that your submission shouldn't be in an envelope - any postal mishaps then become part of the art - how do people feel about that?

 

[cesare]

We can blame tea ring stains on the sorting office
