The end is near

Today is the mailing deadline for the Bad Words Mail Art call. I will continue to post pieces that arrive in January 2008. I have been kicking around some ideas for my next project............. stay tuned.

This hand painted tattoo inspired design was sent by JOONTIKI of Bowen Island, BC. I also scanned the back of the envelope it was mailed in.


I would like to say a big THANK YOU
to everyone who participated in this project!
Mail Art Rules.

BAD WORDS DO NOT EXIST

That is the bold assertion of José Manuel Figueiredo,
an artist from Sintra, Portugal.





Mary Jones of North Quincy Massachusetts sent us two examples of commercially produced bad words. The South Park TV show is the motherload of Bad Words!




Keith Buchholtz is a St. Lousi based artist.
He sent us this bold black and white piece.

Thanks to all the far flung artists who are contributing to this project. We still have a few more weeks to mail in Bad Words.

Bad words / In other tougues

This is a photo taken in Huescar, Spain by Tamara Wyndham. Now that is patina or maybe ghost words. Thanks Tamara!

This piece was sent by Maurizia Carantani,
an artist living in Bergamo, Italy.
