Exquisite Corpse Mail Art Project
Portion of Exquisite Corpse Drawing 2020 | Watercolor On paper | 11" x 8.5"
August 26, 2020
Not only has mail art seen a resurgence during the pandemic, but so has the Exquisite Corpse game. And the two merge so seamlessly... I spent an hour one day churning out a handful of little starter drawings to send to family and friends, and as always seems to happen with me, it became a project.
This was created entirely for fun, in the spirit of the original game, and anyone can play (in the spirit of mail art). Just fold some 8.5" x 11" pieces of paper into thirds, start an artwork, and mail it someone you know. I created some handy instructions to send to people, feel free to use them.

Support the Arts
Art patronage embraces the idea that creativity contributes to the world and to individual lives, and that there is a symbiotic relationship and an exchange that occurs between the artist and the audience of their work. And while purchasing art is a fantastic way to do this, it's not always possible for everyone. The potential to support the arts is much broader, and Patreon makes it incredibly easy.
Introducing 3 monthly tiers in a range of support levels from Supporter of the Arts to Art Enthusiast to Art Collector. Get access to behind-the-scenes videos with insights and peeks at whatever is cooking in the creative cauldron or opt to get your own hand-created original art postcard.
Special Launch Offer
The first 10 people to sign up for the Art Collector patronage tier will receive a Collector's Surprise Pack filled with goodies from the studio! Learn more and sign up today.
