There have been some major delays through not fault of our own, with the book being printed. We got the proof today and should have the books in the next 5-7 working days. Once we have the books in our hands we’ll be packaging them up and sending them out over a two day period, so when your copy is going to land on your doorstep depends on how far away you live from us. I’ll post up some photos of the proof over the next couple days. – Darren
Once all the pledges have been fulfilled there will be a limited number of books available from this site.

We loved this fun design and the way the envelope has been used as part of the artwork. We haven’t photographed what’s inside the dog’s mouth, but if you check out this link to Michael’s site you can see more!
Michael wins an iPod Touch skin designed by Zeptonn and donated by Infectious, a Design-a-Qee designed and donated by Alex Amelines, a t-shirt designed and donated by Chris Thornley and a signed copy of the book Mail Me Art: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers.

All of the mail art for January has now been added to the Gallery. You can also view the submissions for the month on Flickr.
Finally, yet another huge thank you must go to everyone who has taken part in Mail Me Art 2. The overall quality of work has made it extremely difficult picking winners each month, but it does mean the exhibition should be fantastic!
