For her blog Mailbag Art Museum, artist Sarah Musi sent out a simple request to 45 famous fellow artists. This request was to take the postcard she sent out to them and create an original piece of art, then send it back to her.
So far, she has received just over 30 postcards back, which she has documented on Mailbag Art Museum with a blurb about each artist it was from. Check out a selection of the work received in the gallery above.
