All hail snail mail

Name your price via email. I recoup shipping + $2 per sale and the rest goes to AMP.

I have been a pen-pal to incarcerated people since 2012. The experience has been life-changing for me. In 2024, I helped found Abolitionist Mail Project (@massamp_1312) to create inside-outside friendships. These friendships help break down prison walls and are part of an abolitionist mission to end incarceration in favor of restorative and transformative justice.

In this linoprint, a snail from a botanical drawing by Alfred Smee (1818-1877) in London holds a letter in its tentacles. The letter is addressed to you and AMP's logo fills the top corner where the stamp goes. Large Old English font above and below the snail reads All hail / snail mail.

This playful message celebrates the importance of paper mail: Massachusetts now photocopies all incoming mail, and creative media like this lino print or photographs are not allowed. Your purchase raises awareness and helps fund AMP!
