Mail art by William Mellott (Tainan, Taiwan)
We extend a secret MinXus handshake & a hoot & holler a big “Howdy” to William Mellott on this, his first Mink Ranch appearance. May we look forward to many more!
This wonderful card came all the way from William Mellott’s current headquarters in Taiwan – another Mink Ranch first DW says. But we understand he was actually raised in the Seattle (or Portland?) area of the United States West Coast and has participated in mail art for some time.
William Mellott is a vital contributor to the contemporary mail art scene. Here at the ranch we have been admiring his work from afar via the IUOMA-Ning gallery & blogs. We have even had the opportunity to exchange some electronic banter; but as the great Grigori Antonin used to say, “The proof is in the paper!” And here we have some material culture.
William is doing notable & very creative work with stamps (a foundation of mail art). This stamp vispo is a treasure, perfect for MinXus-Lynxus in every way. It certainly works as visual poetry.
Deepest thanks!
MinXus-LynXus III
