Call for Mail Art: Your Doctor Mail-Art-ified!

What's Your view on your Doctor?

Is he/she a good help to you and do you feel blessed by having this good health care giver? Or are you afraid, angry, bored and/or distrusting whenever you visit your doctor?

Or is he/she invisible to you as until now you didn't need medical care at all?

For this online exhibition I'm looking for mail art which shows your opinion about your doctor. A portrait, a situation, certain objects or whatever, as long as it shows your thoughts and/or feelings about him/her.

All 2D media by snail mail are welcomed, minimum postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms).

No jury, no fee, no return. All entries about doctors will be published here.

Richard Baudet




The message is clear!

Not only one apple a day, but also some mail art a day will keep the doctor away :-)

The beautiful calligraphy - of course by calligraphy master Richard Baudet - arrived in an envelope with a rose and a butterfly, and a hat and a painting by Vincent van Gogh on a stamp.





Thank you, merci beaucoup, Richard!

"E" (4)



Received from "E" from Utopia / France, these rubber stamped doctor's portraits (or patient's portraits?).

Below: I was amazed to see that the French Post managed to find the right place to add their own stamp, between the nice large amount of mail art stamps.



Merci beaucoup, "E"!

"E" (3)



The third Doctor by "E" from Utopia!

Below shows proof of the fact that "E" might be a real doctor himself: I cannot read the text, so this definitely is a Doctor's Handwriting.
Or would it be Utopian language? (Or should I buy new glasses?) Anyone who can read/translate the words below, feel free to write it to me!

"E" has several mail art projects, among them: "Send me your soul", "Is there life before death?", and the Galerie des Mona.
And "E" is working on an immense and good job: bringing together all Brain Cell life forms of Ryosuke Cohen (who issued 804 forms so far).



"E" also is embassador of Utopia, which is very close to our homes (the stamps below proof it's local post).
Maybe we could get the Utopian nationality.



Merci beaucoup, "E"!

"E" (2)

Although doctors have to make their patients feel comfortable, sometimes the doctor makes you shiver. "E" sent such a doctor two months ago.
And now the colleague reached this blog!



Still I don't know whether this doctor looks so upset because of the patient's diagnosis, or that he just is overworked and wants to keep new patients out.
Or maybe he's just watching 'Thriller', in his spare time.

"E" has two new mail art projects: 'Send me your soul' and 'Is there life before death?'. More information you can find on E's blog.

Merci beaucoup, "E", pour ce médecin singulier!

"E" (1)



One of the main things which to my opinion are important when visiting a doctor, is that the doctor not only is capable and has knowledge about all diseases and illnesses, but also that he/she makes you feel comfortable enough to have you tell about the reason of your visit.

"E" from Utopia succeeds in creating a doctor who makes me run away screaming (and who makes me think of that movie which I never want to see anymore because it was too frightening).
At least this doctor's got postal brains, so that's positive!
After all I hope "E" will have had good experiences visiting this doctor.



The backside contains a beautiful stamp of the Ambassade d'Utopia. I guess it must have been one mailman who put a line through this and then wrote the address again. As at this other beautiful work of art the back side was empty.

Merci beaucoup, "E", for this wonderful, wondering (and ominous) doctor!
