American Gun Goddess


Here's the latest take on America and guns from mail art badboy Michael Hernandez de Luna. The Chicago, Illinois-based artist collages his works digitally in creating sardonic fake postage stamps that stick a stick in the most sensitive places, and he does it all with style and panache. Once printed, all hell breaks loose. Like Michael Thompson, Michel Hosszù, MHdL is one of the stamp champs. MHdL is also the curator of the extraordinary 2005 stamp art show, Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin. (I was happily included!)
