There is very little in life these days that pumps me up like finding a big fat envelope all gussied up with incredible, colorful, creative, fun, rubber stampings. This beauty arrived a couple days ago from Joel Cohen, NYC, "The Sticker Dude." Take some time to just "read" this envelope. I love the little drawn figures, especially the roller-blade lady on the reverse!
Inside the envelope it just gets better. Joel included a couple of cards with some pix of Ray Johnson, and, of course, a great abundance of Sticker Dude stickers!
The Sticker Dude is certainly carrying on his own part of the mail-art tradition while spreading around sticky happiness and a bit of well-earned wisdom. Apparently a lot of the illustrations for Joel's stickers comes from his partner-in-art, Tom Kerr. I enjoyed learning much more about Joel and Tom by doing a bit of web surfing, beginning with Joel's Ragged Edge Press sites. Take a look!
