Mail Me Art - Oriental Steampunk Style!

Just finished my envelope for Mail Me Art 3 (MMA3), a wonderful project that garners a collection of mail art from artists near and far. The MMA3 was established by Darren Di Lieto, the talented creator of an illustration community known as "The Little Chimp Society". As an adamant and avid snail mailer, this project resonated beyond words. I wish I had more than a weekend to work on this piece. The (water)coloring job wasn't exactly how I intended the end result to turn out. Nevertheless, the process behind creating the following illustration was tons of fun.  I'll never forget the amount of gratitude I felt upon receiving the invitation to participate.  Many thanks, Darren! I look forward to seeing all of the other incredible mail art submissions from fellow artists around the world.

    1. What a coincidence! :) I actually thought of you when I surprisingly received an invitation to participate. I think MM4 is now taking applications for whomever is interested: http://www.mailmeart.com/submit-mail-art/. Given your amazing work, I'm sure you'll get selected.
