Remember pen pals? Â Like real ones…that used their hands to write a letter? Â Yea, me either. Â Must be a generation thing. REGARDLESS, former Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam art director Ivan Cash created Snail Mail My Email. Â He’s cute in an “I don’t wash myself” kind of way.
Snail Mail My Email is a month long art project aimed at inspring people to rediscover the lost art of letter writing. Â Say whatttt?!
Yea, check it out. Â You go to the site and send in an email of up to 200 words, which you can customize with one item (like a doodle). The service will then transform your email into a handwritten letter PHYSICALLY marked to your recipient…FOR FREE!
The letters will be showcased on the site, which will go live on August 15. Â I expect letters from my boos out there in gay Wilton Manors…I’m just saying. Â Ready, set, WRITE!
What a great idea! I remember having pen pals and there is a certain satisfaction in writing and receiving a handwritten letter. Everyone should bring back this lost art. Handwritten letters are much more personal then e-mails.
