In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a Gaping Void fan. From prints to tshirts and books to Facebook Fan Pages, I’ve been part of Hugh MacLeod’s tribe for quite some time now. I dig his attitude, his approach to work and his ability to make people feel.
That’s where his new postcards come in. This iOS app makes sending a postcard-sized Gaping Void creation, complete with up to eight lines of my own sappy well wishes, anywhere in the world. I can send a standard postcard for cheap, as well as ecards for .$99 (the first three ecards are free), to clients, friends, family, lovers, ex-lovers, somebody I’d like to know and colleagues.
As of August 31, I’ve been selected as one of his beta testers for the new app. I received early access and 50 free (analog) postcards that I can send anywhere in the U.S.
But I’d like your help. Who should I send these to? I’ve already gone through a few wedding invitees, my family, a few social media friends and anyone in my address book that I have an address for, but in the spirit of meeting new people and trying something different, I’d like to know who YOU think I should send one to.
I’ll send a card to anyone you’d like, but I’d rather focus on people that would enjoy a postcard from me, not some celebrity or politician that will never see it.
Give me some ideas. Give me some names. Oh, and please give me their addresses, too.
(As a beta tester, I was given early access and 50 free (analog) postcards to send. I believe the app goes public this week, so sign up at the bottom of GapingVoidArt.com/postcards to stay informed.)

I actually just went and did that. Because those postcards look really cool.
Me, Please!!! I’ve been following Gaping Void for the past year or so and his cartoons always make me smile =) Not sure if you’d like my email address or what address?? Too many to choose from these days! Thank you, thank you for your generosity.
