Guido Vermeulen's mail art envelopes are like worlds into themselves and at the same time they are part of the much larger whole.
Thank you for the TALISMAN painting on the envelope. It is real cool and creepy at the same time. I haven’t seen a piece of abstract capture such as pain and emotion so well since I visited the museum of art in Toledo. Bravo!

STOP OUTSOURCING TORTURE
Small painted envelope I mailed to Justene in Canada,
a comment by the statue of Liberty against its own government...
There were already a lot of ??? during the Iraq war that certain prisoners "suspected of terrorism" were delivered into the torture chambers of "new European countries" (the former eastern block members); when Kadafi fled Tripoli it was clear from documents found in the former Ministry of Interior that the CIA made a deal with Kadafi and gave them "items to be tortured for results" ...
