Why hello there friends.

Welcome to the "Art Exchange" thinger-majiger.

What is an “Art Exchange” thinger-majiger you ask?

Good question.

The way it works is relatively simple and quaint (and by that we mean old fashioned [Also by we I mean Kay and myself (Brittany), collectively known as Brayla. But that’s a whole other story]).

There are two ways to go about this.

Method 1:

1. This one is simple. You and another person agree to exchange art. You make a piece of art for one another, and then send it off.
2. They receive your art, you receive theirs. Happy happy goodness.

Method 2:

1. Slightly more complicated. Give us your name and address, and we will add it to our list of participants.
2. Choose somebody from the list. In the meantime, somebody else will be choosing you. Once you have chosen, PLEASE let us know so we can take their name off the list.
3. Make some rad art. Mail it.
4. Receive some rad art. Send another piece of rad art BACK to the sender.
5. Receive rad art in reply to the original piece you sent.
6. You should now have two pieces and have sent two pieces. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.

Boiled Down:

1. Give us your name.
2. Give us your mailing address.
3. Make art
4. Send art
5. Receive art.
6. Love us.

** NO WE WILL NOT SEND YOU MONEY FOR POSTAGE

Rules:

(Again, these are relatively straightforward.)

1. Don’t be mailing framed canvases. Keep your art “MAIL” art, which means anything that fits in a standard sized envelope. If you REALLY have this piece that you MUST mail out, say the size of a catalogue envelope (about the size of a normal sheet of paper unfolded), run it either by us or the person you will be exchanging with. Understand that you may not be getting the same size in return.
2. Standards of “art” differ from person to person, so make sure communication is ongoing between the sender and the recipient about what content of the piece is appropriate. Although some artists would love to receive a nude massacre, some would prefer a fluffy bunny rabbit (for examples of fluffy bunny rabbits please see explicitdeleted’s gallery). Keep in mind, however, that you enter this art exchange at your own risk- you may not receive exactly what you want, but that’s what’s so beautiful about it. Try to keep an open mind about the artwork you receive.
3. We realize not all artists are at equal level of ability, so all we can really ask is you try your best. Time and effort are KEY to this exchange, so please don’t just scribble something on a napkin and pass it off as art when you may be receiving a piece someone spent several hours, lots of blood and tears, and several enslaved children on. Unless you are really good at drawing on napkins. Then by all means, gopher it.
4. Don’t ASK about this exchange if you have no intentions of following through. We will hunt you down. Messing with minds is our job.
5. Have fun. Yes, it’s super corny and cheesy, and every third grade English teacher writes this at the very end of their class orientation schedule, but for serious. The whole point of this is to gather art from people around the world, and to share your ideas with other people, and hopefully inspire.


EHANCE YOUR MAIL ART EXPERIENCE.

Decorate the envelope.
Add a letter.
Send more than one piece.
Maybe a lock of hair. Or not.
But try and keep it simple.


DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way, shape, or form responsible for the quality of art, lost mail, offensive material, or general dissatisfaction.

We’re mostly responsible for being awesome.
And such.

Peace, love, and art!
