Mail Art from September 16, 2019:

While out for a morning coffee or at your favorite haunt,  chances are you've come across a free single sheet, double-sided publication known as Coffee News. You know the one - it's on tan paper, and it features a cute and goofy image at top. 

I pick it up every chance I can, and I look forward to reading the fun little tidbits. If I'm with my family, I like to see how well they do at answering the trivia questions.

So when I received the latest mail art from Jack at Cascadia Artpost, I was quite amused. You see, Jack has published CASCADIA COFFEE CLUTCH, Olympia Edition - a parody of the ubiquitous restaurant publication.

A few differences in the layout set Jack's spoofy paper apart from the real publication. Cascadia Coffee Clutch is 8 1/2" x 11" in size, which is smaller than the real paper. It also sports a white border, which is not typical of Coffee News.  Beyond that, it looks pretty darn close:
  • loads of advertisements
  • same features, 'Everybody's Talking,' 'Quotable Quotes,' and 'Trivia.'
  • same tan color

Humorous advertisement with a mention of mail artists.

Great mail art from Jack at Cascadia Artpost! 

Thanks so much!
