Ruud is the founder and caretaker of the International Union of Mail Artists (IUOMA) - and has done a fine job of it over the years. This splendid looking commemorative was actually created by Ruud's lovely partner Litsa Spahti. I am a big fan of Litsa's work (Super Fluxus and visual poetry) and delight in almost everything she creates (because it's all great!). Mail Artists everywhere have to acknowledge the incredible dynamic effort Ruud has put forth to get and keep
IUOMA running - not to mention his myriad of publications regarding the subject,
the TAM Archive (the official collection of Mail Artists rubber stampings) and other various shows and exhibits that he attends and speaks on the subject. For your tireless efforts, We salute you Ruud (and Litsa). Thanks very much and see you in the mail!
