[Mail-art postcard sent to Matty Jankowski]

Baltimore, [ca. 1989]. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Felt pen, rubber stamps, and photoreproduced collage, all in colors, on foam core board; 25-cent stamp with cancel. Inscribed and intitialed by the artist. Board mildly worn at extremities, board creased (visible only on verso). Very good.

Sally Mericle, a.k.a. Mars Tokyo (b. 1952), is a Baltimore-based multimedia artist, who became involved in the Stamp and Mail Art movement in the mid-1970s and from 1990 to 2000 operated the Mars Tokyo Rubber Stamp Company. She warmly inscribes the postcard to Matty Jankowski (1948-2019), a fellow visionary artist and active Mail Art movement member. Jankowski, also a celebrated tattoo artist, was born in Brooklyn and based there for most of his adult life before moving to Panama City, Florida, in the early 2000s. The postcard was sent to Jankowski's Midwood, Brooklyn, address, where he was operating Circle Arts., Inc., a mail-art exchange program.

Mericle's message reads: "Matty - This isn't exactly a recipe for your cookbook - but maybe in a week or two I'll cook something up. I still follow your events (although vicariously) through RUBBERSTAMPMADNESS. Here Here!! Still looking for justice and finding tres tres peu. S." Addressed to Matty Jankowski at "Circle Arts, Inc." in Midwood, Brooklyn.
