This blog was created to document mail art responses to a Paint-Your-Own Masterpiece coloring book that I sent out to selected mail artists to participate over the course of 2020. The finished works from the initial project are featured in the first transformations video here.

Ferenc Nagy

Ferenc Nagy of Germany sent the most incredible Mona Lisa homage to Norman Rockwell and Bob Ross I've seen.  Very nice.  Sadly, my scanner cannot capture the subtle detail of the paint.



Jonathan Leiter

Jonathan Leiter of New York USA sent this Elegy for an Abstract Expressionist, Jackson Pollack.  I know this wasn't meant for this project but it totally fits so I'm posting it anyway.  :)



Beth Vannatta

This Mona Lisa from Beth Vannatta of Kansas USA lets you read her innermost thoughts...

Unknown Artist

I got a fun anonymous postcard wishing me a "Happy Halloween and welcome to my mailing list bitch!  BWAHAHA..."  I suspect it came out of this call for art so here you go.  ;)




Tracy Hurley

Got a Halloween card from my friend Tracy Hurley in Missouri, USA that seemed like the Mona Lisa went out adventuring so I'm including it here...
