Heebee Post #139 - Ivan Zemtsov - Yoshkar-Ola - Russia

Recognize this handsome fellow? If you have been a Mail Artist for any length of time, you should know that this is Russian Mail Art giant Ivan Zemtsov. He visits Heebee Island looking, as usual, quite debonair. This card is from Chelyabinski - which had the nickname of Tankograd for a while, because it had once manufactured a vast amount of Tanks there.
Ivan has hosted two ongoing Mail Art Calls for quite a while now: "Alyonka" and "Sputnik" and has produced fantastic world class showings of both. He now invites us to join in his new Mail Art Call "The Road to Life". Find it here: mincult12.ru/kyrlya . Seen above is a beautiful "Spring trip to Italy" artistamp and his trademark Mail Art rubber stamping - not to mention some fine Russian postage stamps. Thank you very much Ivan - nice to see you here - in the 4th Dimension!
