Soliciting art and illustration from contributors across the world, Mail Me Art uses the postal service as a creative medium.
“Going postal” gets a new connotation with the collaborative art project, the brainchild of Darren Di Lieto — founder and co-editor of illustration-news portal Little Chimp Society. Though most of the participants are amateur enthusiasts, career illustrators including Michael Slack, Jon Burgerman, Catalina Estrada, Dan May, and Jeff Miracola have all joined in with their own mail art.
The first installment collected over 600 submissions, mailed in on postcards, envelopes, boxes, and pieces of wood and cardboard. The second run of MMA goes through early 2010, with a winner selected each month by Di Lieto and crew.
