Mail Art by Jenn Miltenberger (Maryland, USA) w/Special A&P Update

 

Mail art by Jenn Miltenberger (Annapolis, Maryland, USA)

Jenn Miltenberger made her Glam Faction debut in October 2020. We are thrilled to welcome her back in 2021 with deepest thanks for this very generous missive. 

We'll skimp a little on the introduction because Jenn Miltenberger has made a splash in the network with her winning art, charming personality and collaborative spirit. Glamsters - who are always ahead of the curve! - probably already know her. If you are not familiar with Jenn Miltenberger, look at her work here and at IUOMA-Ning. She is an artist to watch in the estimation of your ever-faithful Glam Faction.

Jenn Miltenberger is very involved in add & pass (A&P). She included several fascinating samples of in-process A&P sheets with contributions by many correspondence artists. For instance, we see the influence of Jon Foster (North Carolina, USA), certainly an excellent collaborator. Jenn, relatively new to the network, has also been involved in some of the drama associated with A&P. which she has handled with grace and humor.

We look forward to more art by Jenn Miltenberger at Glam Faction!

Zines & add & pass book by Bonniediva

Mail art by Bonniediva (Gurnee, Illinois, USA)

 

How could Glam Faction be "cool for cats" without reigning Eternal Network superstar Bonniediva sitting at our lunch table?

 

We welcome Bonniediva to Glamdom with a peak at the contents of not one but two! mailings she so kindly sent us.

 

Any true Glamster would feel absolutely naked without a fanzine. Bonniediva sent us two precious copies of Bon-Zine! Do any of our faithful glanfams not worship the Bon-Zine? Do you not sit drooling at the mailbox until that next issue arrives? If you do not, you must lead a putrid existence under a rock because Bon-Zine is the hottest mail art zine on the current scene.

 

We always advise new Glamsters: Never reveal too much. So we won't "publish" these two issues. Besides, they're posted elsewhere and those "in the know" have their own copies! Bonniediva also sent a fascinating add & pass book:

Glam Faction has already done our bit for Bonniediva, and this priceless treasure is already on its way to some lucky Glamster! SSP (Shameless Self-Promotion) you say? Darling, we invented the term!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sabela Bana joins E's Fan Club (Spain)

 Mail art by Sabela Bana (Coruna, Spain)

Many thanks to Eternal Networker Sabela Bana for returning another wonderful add & pass sheet completed in honor of the great E - Ambassador of Utopia (Guivry, France).

We are more than pleased that Glam Faction can be the new headquarters of E's Fan Club. This E's Fan Club sheet is very similar to the one received from Michel Della Vedova (Limoges, France), only Michel is absent and Sabela is added:

Contributors: Colin Scholl (San Diego, California, USA); Fleur Helsingor (Oakland, California, USA); Ed Giecek (Concrete, Washington, USA); Julie Jeffries (Ex Post Facto) (Dallas, Texas, USA); Lord Fugue (Hickory, North Carolina, USA); Mary J. Grellner (Wentzville, Missouri, USA); Michel Della; Opal Moiety (Jankari Alex Nu-jetson) (San Francisco, California, USA); Sub-Real Alchemy (David Stanley Aponte) (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) and Sabela Bana (Coruna, Spain).

Thanks to all who participated! E - Ambassador of Utopia, somewhere, must be smiling.

Her name is Tara. She calls herself Sinclair. Everyone knows her as Tanya

Mail art by Tara Verheide (aka Sinclair Scripa) (Ludlow, Vermont, USA)

 

 

 

We are thrilled to present the debut of the great Sinclair Scripa (Tara Verheide) on Glam Faction with this spectacular mail art package she sent us. We felt naked without her!

 

You can call her Sinclair or Tara, but to us our fave femail artist will always be just plain Tanya. Was Tanya Rain Rien's prom date? Did she mash potatoes with Ray and Richard C? That was before our time, and you know we don't gossip or carry tales.

 

But we do know she was the invaluable confidante of Diane Keys. Tanya was a winner of the Who Has the Best Hair Contest and a faithful contributor to MinXus-Lynxus. Tanya is one of the all-time great ranters and mail art conspiracy theorists. We are so happy she is now a Glamster!

 

Welcome Tanya!

 

Note: A theme in this mail art package is DaDa Pig. We believe this is a reference to the great but sadly deceased mail artist Pig DaDa (Belgium). Unfortunately, a "famous" mail artist (with whom we no longer communicate (there's a bunch of those) chastised us because she believed our praise of Pig DaDa was actually sarcastic criticism and mockery. Let us clarify again, now here at Glam Faction, that we adore and revere Pig DaDa as one of the all- time great correspondence artists. We also believe dear friend Tanya has nothing but esteem for Pig DaDa.

Post-Pop & Copyart by Jon Foster

Mail art by Jon Foster (Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA)

We are thrilled to welcome the extraordinary Jon Foster to Glam Faction.

Jon is already an Eternal Network glamster who groomed his talents as a writer and artist at the feet of his correspondence school guru Richard Canard. We also understand Jon Foster has personally met the enigmatic Lucy Pierre, which adds a brush of golden glitter to his already shimmering astral emanation.

Among many other artistic achievements of note, Jon Foster has developed a tape-and-tear technique that consistently produces fantastic art, at least when Jon does it. (We've tried to reproduce his sticky magic with results that are just not...well, not like a real Jon Foster or even a fake Jon Foster for that matter.)

A wonderful consolation, however, is that Jon Foster sent us one of his original tape & tear masterpieces, his FAB Post-Pop no less! We will treasure this forever and, of course, share exclusively with our GF besties.

This package also included some amazing copyart that can stand alone or work as add & pass. We adore copyart so this Jon Foster mail art care package is a Jon Fest-er here at your ever faithful Glam Faction printing all the noose that fits!

Love ya!

E's Fan Club Add & Pass - A Moving Tribute

Completed E's Fan Club add & pass sheet
 

The add & pass sheets honoring the great French mail artist E- Ambassador of Utopia are still circulating and I continue to be the recipient of completed work. While I did not volunteer for this position, I am certainly willing to do my best to document this effort, now at Glam Faction and IUOMA-Ning.

E - Ambassador of Utopia was a wonderful correspondent, a gentleman, scholar, brilliant artist and philosopher. I believe this piece is an especially moving tribute to E by his friends, correspondents and fans.

Contributors: Colin Scholl (San Diego, California, USA); Fleur Helsingor (Oakland, California, USA); Ed Giecek (Concrete, Washington, USA); Julie Jeffries (Ex Post Facto) (Dallas, Texas, USA); Lord Fugue (Hickory, North Carolina, USA); Mary J. Grellner (Wentzville, Missouri, USA); Michel Della Vedova (Limoges, France); Opal Moiety (Jankari Alex Nu-jetson) (San Francisco, California, USA); Sub-Real Alchemy (David Stanley Aponte) (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA).
