Well, here it is at last! The original Mail Me Art project’s online shop is now open!

A selection of mail art submitted to the first Mail Me Art project can now be purchased here. Work currently for sale includes mail art by Alberto Cerriteno, Nick Deakin, Stephen Donnelly, Ryan Snook and more!

Due to the huge number of submissions that were received we are not able to have every piece available in the shop. We will be adding more artwork to the shop over time, but if there is a particular item of mail art (from the first project only) that you are interested in that is not listed in the shop, please email us.

You can also buy an exclusive signed copy of the book Mail Me Art: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers through the shop, which will come with a small piece of mail art included. This offer is only available when purchasing the book through us.

All artists whose work is sold will receive 70% from the sale of their artwork, less any fees incurred, as originally stated in the terms of the project. Payment will be sent through Paypal, so if you are an artist who has changed their email address and/or Paypal details, please let us know!
