The cards I like most will show me something unique about your life, your interests, your culture, your world, your perspective... I am especially interested in unusual postcards that show original art and photography. I enjoy all types of creativity and artistic expression, and I must admit that the weird and strange cards are my favorite :)
Some of my many interests include, but are not limited to:
- unique art, museums & galleries
- collage & photomontage
- photography, old & found photos
- vintage children's book illustrations
- graffiti & street art, stencils, murals, signs
- graphic design, culture jamming, propaganda
- foreign & independent films
- science fiction, big fan of Blade Runner
- books, literature, libraries
- natural history, science, evolution, archeology
- flora & fauna, gardening, botany
- biology, anatomy, health, medicine, surgery
- environmentalism, sustainability, animal rights
- vegan/vegetarianism, cooking, farmers markets
- tattoos, body adornment, human oddities, freaks
- erotica, nudes, adult-themes
- magick, esoterica, mythology, superstitions
- cemeteries, skeletons & bones, the supernatural
- uniforms & work clothes, costumes, traditional clothing
- street scenes, subways, daily life
- native people, local customs & rituals, folk art, folklore
- dark humor: anything twistedly funny
- WWII & the Holocaust, military, weaponry, martial arts
- astronomy & space
- the Aurora Borealis, weather, natural phenomenons
That was just a brief list of things I like to give you some ideas... please don't let it limit you! You can send me anything you think is creative, artistic, cool or interesting... surprise me! I hope to see what inspires you :)
* Please no requests for private swaps. Find me on the forum instead for tags and round robins!
* I prefer written and stamped postcards, not in an envelope.
Most importantly... Thank You!
Finnish Friends: I do not collect Moomin or Kaj Stenval cards, but thank you for introducing me to the fantastic artwork of Akseli Gallen-Kallela. I would love to get more! Perhaps you can help me grow my collection?

- Boy With Crow
- Kullervo Cursing
- Kullervo Goes to War
