two pieces in one piece - from Ryosuke Cohen

I got this incredible piece from Ryosuke Cohen. I have scanned it in two pieces, and tried to put it together, and the white strip appeared, sorry. But look at the colours!

poemic mailart from Alexandra Pharmakidis

Two very interesting works from Alexandra Pharmakidis! I interpret them as pieces between asemic writing and speech balloons. And there ist lots of esoteric content there, as well.

meet the power monster!

from April Kam

dear April, it was so great to receive this mailart from you! I saw it a few months ago on your webpage, and I've been looking forward to seeing it. and now I know, that it was also worth touching and reading!

hey guys, readers of this blog - please take a look down there, where we can find a postcard with a poemic strip about education, experience and vacation. so April has answered to the strip, she wrote about the three things!

well, I quite agree with April. she says that books erase my mind. I didn't like school, I've changed schools often. anyway, it was prison.

and check out the stamps!

full of light and happiness, a poemics mailart from Satu! thank you so much!

MailArt Poemics from Pszren

Last week I received this little MailArt Poemics Card from Pszren. Thank You very much! It was lovely! This was the first MailArt Card that I have ever received.

new year and new contributor!

so I'm posting another postcard with a poemic strip on it :). I am planning to create new ones and place them here as well - but don't expect it will be to often. oh, this card was sent either to Venezuela or to Hong Kong (well, either this one or the last one, anyway they went to these places).

and the blog has a new contributor! it's Satu Kaikkonen - welcome aboard!

definition

so I've decided to begin sending postcards with poemics and about poemics. so there is the poemic strip, some text about the art of poemics, and the japanese-style stamp - and all of these quite minimalistic :).

poemics and mailart

I just got a beautiful mailart from Deborah Davidson. I feel I must do something about it, so I'm creating this blog. Deborah has posted my mailart here, that's how I got the tiger! it was worth it. well, I've learned how to make my own japanese style seal thanks to the information on her blog - the symbol I use is a "szren", which can also be typed as -.^ and which is based on the shape of my left eyebrow. you can see more examples of szrens here, here or here :).

as I am a poemic artist, I would like to use this blog to promote poemics. I am not planning to do too much of mailart, but anyway, if I find an interesting project where a poemic strip placed on a postcart could be accepted, I might try to participate. and if you want to send me a piece of your mailart, especially when elements of comics and poetry are put together (I mean comics and poetry in a wider sense, this can simply be words on an image, or text in comic frames), please let me know somehow (for example by e-mail: pszren(at)wp(dot)pl. I will be glad to make a photo of it and place it here. I hope you don't mind me making photos of me reading your mailart. or perhaps I should just scan it? anyway, let's do something. all the best to you!
