Abe's Penny

In a world saturated with electronic communication, it is becoming more rare to find anything in your physical mail box that is worth reading. Thanks to the efforts of Abe’s Penny, a new concept-based micro-publication founded by sisters Anna Knoebel and Tess Knoebel, snail mail has become interesting once again. Abe’s Penny takes the form of an ongoing post card series which features a narrative that unfolds over a four week period. Each month, the work of one visual artist and one writer is printed on a standard post card and mailed to subscribers of the Abe’s Penny publication.
The postcard shown above features a collaboration between photographer Richard Gin and writer Mike Sacks. Gin is a Brooklyn-based photographer who works freelance on a variety of editorial and commercial projects, and Sack is a prominent writer that has worked for Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Vice among countless other publications.
Abe’s Penny offers a subscription rate so that you can add some excitement to your mailbox experience. Details are offered on their website.
