mailbag art museum: Leif Parsons

http://mailbagartmuseum.blogspot.com/2010/12/leif-parsons.html

Friday, December 31, 2010. Holding degrees in both philosophy and design, NYC-based Canadian artist Leif Parsons is known for his cleanly detailed illustration work for such companies as Poketo, LA Magazine and Dwell. His show "He looked at her, She looked at it, It looked back". In addition, I recommend taking some time to explore Leif's labyrinthine website. Sent: "What's your favorite spot in New York City?

mailbag art museum: Evah Fan & Brendan Monroe

http://mailbagartmuseum.blogspot.com/2010/12/evah-fan-brendan-monroe.html

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Evah Fan and Brendan Monroe. Today's mail is from husband and wife couple Evah Fan and Brendan Monroe in Hägersten, Sweden. These two American artists met at their own gallery showing, shortly after graduating college (Pratt in NY and Art Center in Pasadena, respectively). Here is a great article from Fecal Face. Featuring a ton of great photos of their L.A studio back in 2007, two years before they moved to Sweden. January 11, 2011 at 5:27 AM. I love the art you send!

mailbag art museum: October 2010

http://mailbagartmuseum.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 18, 2010. Paper-cut art from Jayme McGowan. Is a wonderful paper-artist and illustrator from Sacramento, CA. I first saw her wallets for Poketo. And have since been keeping track of her work. Her blog, Roadside Projects. Is a fun read; full of process photos, videos and links to gems from other artists. I was delighted to receive a fantastic piece of paper art from her a few days ago. It actually stands up on my desk! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 6) Mark Ryden (R).

mailbag art museum: March 2011

http://mailbagartmuseum.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 24, 2011. Amy Sol and Lost Mail. I have a great affection for Amy Sol's work. The subject matter is the same: girls and animals and flowers. So often this type of art is created by women because it represents a place within us created in childhood; a sort of Disney princess moment that we'll never see. To put it on a canvas makes it real and to do so over and over never gets tiring. To see it re-imagined by someone else only inspires us more. Sent: Tell me three facts about yourself.

mailbag art museum: August 2010

http://mailbagartmuseum.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 19, 2010. So I had this thought the other day: what if I made little pieces of art and sent them to a bunch of famous artists, along with a tiny blank canvas for them to create something and return it? Would I get anything back? Would they even read my request? This is an experiment, an art project if you will. Let see how it goes. A small piece of original art. An addressed return envelope.

mailbag art museum: Words of wisdom from the inspiring Sheilah Beckett

Monday, December 13, 2010. Words of wisdom from the inspiring Sheilah Beckett. From Leif Peng's wonderful illustration blog. So, even though her card came back without art, I love that she replied because I consider her something of a personal hero. And because her answer to the question was so lovely.

Friday, January 14, 2011. First Post of the New Year: Saelee Oh. Firstly, a HUGE thank you to all the wonderful artists who responded in 2010 and to those who simply received, thank you again for sharing your talent with the world; you are inspirations!
