Mexico In Your HomeOwner Veronica Lara As quoted from their website: "Mexico in your home brings to you the best patterns and designs from the Mexican culture. Every item is well thought out to make your daily life colorful and fun. Our products are made in Jalisco, Mexico. We help and support the creators and hand crafters of our products." El Tropicano HotelLocated on The San Antonio Riverwalk  Located on the San Antonio Riverwalk, El Tropicano is one of our city's most eclectic and culturally colorful destinations. Full of obscure South American masks and memorabilia from the original owners' travels, it's a must-stay! The Historic PearlLocated at Pearl Parkway, Downtown The Historic Pearl is not only one of our favorite places in SA; it's one of our favorite places in the world. It carries alot of meaning for our family since it's where we spend most of our outdoor time. We have included some gorgeous family photos taken there by Simpy Sefra Photography and some landscape photos we took ourselves to share what a beautiful and magical place it is.

Welcoming our local San Antonio artists, performers and writers who have taken the time to contribute and support The Courrier international mail art project. All of our artists' credits and locations are given in individual captions. Post Card ArtArtSan Antonio, Texas  Fine Art Linen Paper post cardsphotographer Claudia Peña-Martinez San Antonio, Texas Claudia is a dear friend and innovative artist and art teacher. We are excited to house her precious and candid contributions. She is expert in exemplifying that even the common can become archival, causing the viewer to rethink what can be considered art. Claudia is in part responsible for me learning to properly document and catalog my own works which I previously never would have found to be note worthy, like my Studies in Blaque photojournalism series. Thank you, C, for your contribution and your technical influence. San Antonio, Texas If you haven't heard of artist Jason Limon, you are missing out on one of San Antonio's (and America's) very best fine artists of this modern age. His inventive, imaginative and transcendental themes make him a fitting addition to The Courrier. At first glance each piece looks like a pop-up book page come to life. Old crumpled and dog-eared corners abound, bent tin and wind-up keys are essential components of the tiny mechanisms created by Jason's unique and curious mind. He carries the viewer on a wild journey through the alphabet via intelligently placed word play and subliminal or out-right symbolic mysticism. Each of his works stand alone as a realized bit of true magic, but his entire body of work throughout the years is no less than a titan of a marvel to behold. Every stroke of his brush is a gift to the viewer. Like something of a dream made manifest, Jason walks us through the inner workings of his brain while inviting us to turn the looking glass inward toward ourselves. And what a splendid reflection he creates!

We would love to have your feedback and hope you choose to participate. The Late Mr. Rich These are the three beautiful original illustration pieces I procured from our dear neighbor and family friend of two decades after his passing at his estate sale. He was always Mr. Rich to my brother and I, and he watched us grow up. He was kind and full of faith, and a damn good artist.
Featuring his work in The Courrier mail art gallery is my way of honoring his legacy. May the angels who carry him now be as beautiful as the ones he drew. San Antonio, Texas Artist Seth Camm is an incredibly gifted humanitarian who puts his talents to use in a way that aims to teach the world a lesson. His Homeless project which began in the 90's delivers a powerful message about an ongoing war on poverty. Seth shines his spotlight on the ignored, the abandoned and the lost, reminding us of a very real ongoing situation the world would rather forget. Mr. Camm's Homeless Project ensures we never do. Seth is a friend and colleague and I am honored to have had the unique privilage of sitting for him as Joan of Arc for his Saints series which was later showcased at The Tobin Center of the Performing Arts circa 2015 during their run of The Nutcracker Ballet.  Joan of Arc oil on wood model K. Day circa 2014 San Antonio, TX Milly is a multidisciplinary artist and family friend of The Courrier founders since 1995. Her work varies from project to project but is most defined by her use of bold color and to-the-point subject matter. Her work is published all over the world and we are proud to host her.
