Of course, a variation of a famous quote. And part of my motto for 2012.

Today I brought my first mailart for 2012. Heading towards Nüdlingen 🙂
Alomost two years ago I sent two cards for Roland’s Bismarck call. And saw them just in a TV clip! I will really try to go to Bad Kissingen to see the great show Roland curated!

This card for Roland Halbritter went to the postbox. May be, the history of mail art must be rewritten.
Roland send me his artist booklet on the „ART CARRÉE“ project. Looks great and shows interesting variations. Thank you very much!
A MAIL ART PROJECT FOR THE 8TH OF MAY 2010 IN THE TOWN SCHWEINFURT (GERMANY). DIFFERENT SETS OF 9 PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO 14 ARTISTS FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL MODIFICATIONS. AFTER IT THEY WILL SENT IT BACK TO ME. BOTH, THE PHOTO MOSAIC AS WELL AS THE MODIFICATION WILL BE SHOWN AT THE EXHIBITION. I WILL DOCUMENT IT HERE ON THIS BLOG. IN THE END THERE WILL BE A PLANED ARTISTBOOK ABOUT THE PROJECT.

Today I sent cards to Roland and to WeimArt, answering the LUST call. As usual you see just a detail as long as the cards are on there way 🙂

Die zweite Karte, die ich für Roland geklebt habe. Bissel simples agit prop …
After such a long time I did two cards. Both going to Roland. This year I will try to protect my brain from mail art calls for they are narrowing my thinking too much (but that is my fault, of course).
Wohoooo, what a great card from Roland. Thanks a lot! Check his Bismarck-call.
(The card is not light blue, but shiny silver like a mirror)
My first stamp I ordered has a little problem: The rubber in the inside seems to be to high and so the stamp shows a gray / black field instead of a white. I wonder if I can cut away the rubber with a cutter knife. Or will the small border than be to instable? Thanks for any hint.
UPDATE: I got help from Jean and nordbaer and gave the stamp a 2nd chance, stamping with very little pressure: It seems when I use very soft paper and some more ink it works. But I also learned not to use too small fonts and too tiny lines 🙂
