DANIEL PLUNKETT INTERACTIVE MIXED MEDIA MAIL ART COLLAGE - An original, interactive mixed media collage by Austin, Texas-based Mail Art and zine pioneer Daniel Plunkett.

The verso bears the artist's iconic red rubber networking stamp: ”N D PO BOX 4144 AUSTIN TX 78765”. daniel plunkett art, mail art movement, postal art, austin texas zine culture, neo dada collage, interactive mixed media, 1990s counter culture.
