Ugly Mailbox July 21st, 2008

Kathy from the Junk Drawer follows up her floral “beauty”:

This one was found in Bethlehem Township, PA. This house was a total dump. They had all manner of garbage in the front yard, arranged in a way I think they thought was “artsy.” There was also a deer head mounted on the front porch (sending that picture as well). I hurried to take these pictures, since I wasn’t sure when or whether the owner would come outside with a rifle and shoo (or shoot) me away.

What I do for Ugly Mailbox.com.

I do appreciate your efforts for my blogging pleasure! This is a great find.

Happy Thanksgiving

Gremmy visited Mr. Witles to see if he had a Turkey mailbox up for the holidays. He did sort of. There’s a turkey driving the car!

Costas the Pen Guy Schuler to the Rescue

Unusual Mailbox October 30th, 2007

Between Trick or Treating, booster shots and tropical storms, this just isn’t the week for me to find any new mailboxes around the area.  However, never fear, Costas from Mercedes Pens has been a busy pen guy.  Not only has he been photographing mailboxes for us, he’s started a new Art Car blog.  So be sure to check that out after you look at these cool new mailboxes.

Voodoo Junk Mail
Here is the voodoo mail box.  I think its a way to ward off the “evil junk mail spirits”.  I don’t know if its working for him, but I don’t go near the thing.

Horses in the Mist
Another drive by on the way to drop off my daughter at school. This one captures the mystery of horses in the early morning fog. The inner beauty of an ugly mailbox, the free spirit within.Huh???? What more can be said?

The Rock.
1000 years from now when they uncover this in some archeological dig, they will wonder what god it was meant to worship, what rituals were performed to appease the angry god #4505. This box is not only meant to survive a baseball bat attack but nuclear blasts as well. I know for sure their Netflix DVDs will survive.

Noas Arc
Is not really a mail box as it is a sculpture made up of old mailboxes. Most of the animals on the arc are mail boxes. Does that qualify?. I think its great and the artist who makes them his name is Patrick Amiot

This week is going to be crazy for me and I won’t have a chance to go out looking for more ugly mailboxes to take pictures of until next week probably. So in the spirit of internet laziness I’m going to feature some new favorites from around the web.

Air mail(box) II

Unusual Mailbox October 19th, 2007

Artbot tipped me off to a fun blog called Bits & Pieces that had a picture of this mailbox:

I need one like that, and one right next to it for junk mail!
