Well, finally after a very long delay, we can announce that our Mail Me Art 2 winner for May is John Martin! John’s winning artwork is shown above. We will be sending out a signed copy of the book, Mail Me Art: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers, plus a tee-shirt designed and kindly donated by Chris Thornley, Director of Source Creative.

We had over 75 fantastic submissions during the first month of Mail Me Art 2, and it was really hard for our judges to make a decision. Thank you to everyone who has sent their work in so far – keep it coming!

The site has now been updated to include a gallery of selected artwork sent in during May and this will continue to be added to each month. Click here to see some of May’s submissions.You can also find links to photos from the exhibition and pictures of many of the entries from the first Mail Me Art project on the Gallery page.

We should be announcing the winner for June within the next 2 weeks.

Mail Me Art 2 is now open for submissions! Following the success of the first project, we are looking forward to having just as much fun with Mail Me Art 2. This second project will run for around 6 months and there will again be a monthly prize, along with another exhibition at the end (if we get enough submissions!). There might even be another book, depending on the success of the current one…

What’s in the book?

Darren Di Lieto — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:18:06 +0000

Apart from the book being a showcase for the best submissions from the Mail Me Art project. It’s an in-depth look at my experience of having putting the project together and what it took to do so. There are also a ton of interviews with some of todays top illustrators, who also happen to be Mail Me Art contributors. A few of the interviewees included in the book are as follows; Jon Burgerman, Catalina Estrada, Dan May, Jeff Miracola, Kristian Olson, Sauerkids and Michael Slack. There are also many more in the book that aren’t mentioned here, but you’ll have to buy it to find out who they are. The only place you’ll have a chance to see all of the mail art featured in the book will be at the Mail Me Art exhibition. Copies of the book will also be available at the event, but if you can’t wait until then you can pre-order the book from Amazon here.

The Art of Dan May

Darren Di Lieto — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:03:42 +0000

This piece has to be one of my favorite and I can’t believe it made it all the way from the United States with out being stolen. I’ve been a fan of Dan May’s work for a long time now. He was one of the first artists I interviewed for the LCS all the way back in September 2006. If there was ever an artist’s work that should be seen in person, that would be the work of Dan May. If I ever get the chance I will be going to one of his exhibitions. His mail art will be on display and for sale at the Mail Me Art Exhibition.

You can seen more of Dan’s work at dan-may.com and you can read the LCS interview I did with him here.
