About Mail Me Art:
Mail Me Art is a British-based project, run by Darren Di Lieto, the founder and co-editor of the illustration news portal The Little Chimp Society.
The Mail Me Art project is here for everyone to enjoy, both as artists and onlookers. It’s not about making a statement or rebelling against the establishment – it’s about having fun and connecting with other people around the world. If you’re looking for a history of the mail art movement or some serious mail art-driven political agenda, you’ve come to the wrong place. This is a celebration and archive of the artists who have taken part in Mail Me Art, plain and simple! We love mail art and we hope you do too!
Mail Me Art 3 has been a long time coming and this time around the project will be called Mail Me Art: Short & Sweet. MMA3 will be by invitation only and limited to 200 participants. There will be an exhibition in July 2013 and a new book showcasing all of the brilliant new mail art! Mail Me Art 3 will be short and it will be sweet.
MMA: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers is still available to buy.
My work can be found in a book out this month (in the UK) and next month in the US, NZ and Australia. A Map of the World: The World According to Illustrators and Storytellers is available from all good book retailers! Including Waterstones, Amazon, Magma and Barnes and Noble.

Cuando David Ryan Robinson llegó a Londres decidió dibujar su propio mapa que le sirviera para orientarse. Añadió algunos toques de humor y referencias que le eran básicas en su día a día y voilà: el resultado es esta abigarrada
No idea what this means! Let’s hope it’s nice.
I missed 24 Hour Comic Day. This was why. Trying to achieve Splatter Master on Halo 4.

David Ryan Robinson’s Fantasy Map of London
David Ryan Robinson doesn’t want to be known just as the map guy. Which is kind of difficult when you spend six months of your life drawing a huge A2 (that’s 23-and-a-half by 16-and-a-half inches) map of London.
It was fall 2011, and Robinson had just arrived in London. Like many young professionals, Robinson realised that the UK capital was the place to establish a firm career path. Robinson had always been into drawing, and he never got out of it. He graduated from university in June, taking a degree in art, and he knew that to advance in the creative industries he ought to move to London. “I’d only been a couple of times before,” he points out, on day trips and vacations.

I produced a few illustrations produced for Usborne Publishing about boys and adolescence! One of my favourites.
I’m moving to Greenwich next week! How exciting. This means I may not be able to post for a while, until the internet men come round and sort everything out. I will leave you with a self portrait!
