Piro Rios, Humacao, Puerto Rico

Piro is active in the international Mail Art community. What a wonderful vintage print with color added. I love seeing the old time cycling costumes. Imagine women cycling with such long skirts. Perhaps, he'll tell us the technique that he used to add the color.

Thanks, Piro.

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Which bicycle would you ride? B Kapp has sent us a variety of styles to chose from. Any of them would do, but I can't image riding the vintage bicycle.
Thanks for your enthusiastic support, sending in many pieces of Mail Art, B Kapp.

Ryan Burgess, Richmond, Virginia, USA

These two collages make great use of vintage images, don't they? I really like the illusion of depth and action in them.
Thanks for submitting, Ryan.

Anja Mattila-Tolvanen, Pälkäne, Finland

This photograph from Finland made me smile. What a find, at a flea market, perhaps? The bicycle is so rusty and so like a sculpture. It made me think of Duchamp and his Ready Made pieces. I wonder if this bicycle was refurbished or just hung on a wall to be admired.

Maybe Anja will let us know.

Richard Baudet, Marseille, France

 

What a lovely vintage bicycle and it cost 780 francs! I wonder how much that would be today?
Richard sets the route for touring between France and Switzerland it looks like.

Richard is a member of the International Union of Mail Artists and send out beautiful calligraphy mail art.

Thank you for your entry to this upcoming exhibit.
