Letters of Note is a blog that gathers and sorts “fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos.” The archive already includes correspondence for and from Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Van Gogh, not to mention the page from Bill Watterson above. The site is not devoted to artists alone but you can easily sort the findings if that’s what interests you. I am especially fond of this extremely helpful letter from John Kricfalusi (below) to one of his fans.

As long as we are sharing letters, you might also enjoy this set of mail art exchanged between by my students and some of their favorite artists (including Calef Brown, Susie Ghahremani, Aaron Renier, Stuart Immonen, Richard Thompson, Steven Weissman, and more)! The example below was drawn and written by the IF queen herself, Penelope Dullaghan.
