"Mail Me Art is a British-based project, run by Darren Di Lieto, the founder and co-editor of the illustration news portal the Little Chimp Society. Over the course of a year, the first Mail Me Art project brought together a vast collection of artistic work sent in the form of mail by both professional and amateur artists of all ages from across the world. A wide variety of media were used in an equally wide variety of styles and the work arrived on everything from postcards and envelopes to boxes and pieces of wood.



Contributions included work by internationally-renowned illustrators such as Dan May, Michael Slack, Jon Burgerman, Kristian Olson, Catalina Estrada and Jeff Miracola and in total there were in excess of 600 pieces of mail art submitted to the project.


Mail Me Art culminated in the publication of the book Mail Me Art: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers and the exhibition, held in London during April 2009.


Mail Me Art 2 is now up and running. It is hoped that this will be as successful as the first project – if not more so!"

... and now for some frustration... As I said before I felt a bit blocked while doing this, but above all I guess I was bit tired and frustrated. I don´t have a 9 to 5 job, and some days at work can be long, which can leave me incapacitated for the practice of illustration for the day.and fact incapacitated for anything lol!! Even on weekends, can be hard to do all the small things of life that you only have time to do on the weekend, like groceries and ironing plus one would like to see ones friends eventually and actually chill once in a while! I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do, I haven't drawn on a regular basis for 10 years at least, and I need to improve, and to find if this is something I can do for more than only myself and my (3 it seems :)) followers. But I definitely won´t give up, but some times a bit of moaning can do you good!

Everytime I look at this illustration I think of Dita Von Teese.
