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

    I think that the Noah’s Ark sculpture is excellent. Thanks again for sharing these with us.

    The horse. Even in Australia people would probably shoot holes in it if it was anywhere outside the city.
