On June 1st 2011 this on going multi place event started! 

Thank you every one for taking part in the past Snail Mail Event! - Bring Back the Stamp! More information about this even below.

Everyone likes to get a letter! This June I will be hitting 4 years with this project! So hear is an idea for it's theme (always suggested) "Time and Space". And to make this one I have and even more special idea for this event! Send me postcards, packages, letters, anything to

Acts of Random Art HQ
PO Box 182
Freeport ME
04032

Why? To make a Snail Mail Time Capsule. I will request two things to be sent to me. Which next June for the 5th birthday I will then open the Time Capsule, return one item to you and open the second for me. What you say? Lots can happen in one year. And please feel free to clearly mark which you want sent back if you have a preference.

Other wise here's the idea. On the day of the event send one, two, three or as many people you know a postcard, letter or something in the mail. We get enough junk mail. Send mail to many people! Invite your friends and family and anyone you know to take part in the event! Everyone is invited! (

This is officially a Acts of Random Art Event! And please if you haven't joined A.o.R.A. join in at http://www.facebook.com/actsofrandomart

Now on top of the up coming Snail Mail Event! Acts of Random Art now has a new studio/office. And I hope to have it in full mobile action for next summer! It's very exciting. I will be posting images of the progress on Instagram which will also show up on all other social network formats.

This is a 1969 Aristocrat Lo-Liner. I am looking forward to this project.

Other things from this summer.

KahBang (Bangor ME's Music Art Film Festival) 2013 was a great and wet time. I was able to bring something new to my work and to KahBang involving yarn. Yes I took my yarn bombing work to the fine art end of my life with adding as a artificial plant life with small monsters. I am in the midst of planning some further and larger scale work. Possibly for the winter but definitely for KahBang 2014.
             For images of these check out this link here KahBang Sculpture 2013

Other then that there was a couple shows this summer one at Frank Brockman Gallery in Brunswick ME and a few at Peloton Labs in Portland ME. Being Peloton Labs' Artist in Resident will be coming to a close as this summer closes. It has been a lot of fun but time to move on. Two years was a long time. And I hope to still get to show every now and again there down the road.

But this summer is not over yet. Even though people think Labor Day is the end of a summer, we still have most of September to get threw. And I'm sure with the way this summer has been going, there is more to tell at the official end of Summer 2013. Enjoy the rest of yours folks! 

And for September 3rd and like they say "Put a bird on it." on Portlandia, "Put a Stamp on it! (Address will help too)" for the next Snail Mail Event.
