Mail art no. 110

mail art

Two-sided multi-colored homemade mail art postcard designed by Rochelle Thompson. On the front, a fantasy-style illustrated cover titled “Adventures in Paradise” shows a surfer riding a glowing, curling wave with a serene face formed in the water beneath, set against a dramatic sunset and distant mountains. The back of the mail art piece is a handwritten postcard filled edge to edge with blue-ink writing, oriented sideways. It includes a long reflective message, a printed illustration of a pen on the left margin, and a stamped return imprint from “The Desk of Rochelle Thompson.” Two U.S. postage stamps appear in the upper right, and the address is written in blue ink and outlined in green, addressed to recipient Daniel Mark Graham in Buffalo, New York. Postal cancellation marks and handwritten notes surround the stamps.
