Happy mail, messy bits and all.

A real letter from me, with an A5 art print and a sticker, in your letterbox every month.

I'm Cova, an illustrator in Madrid. Once a month I send you an A5 print, a sticker and a letter from my desk: what I'm making, what's working, what isn't. And I sneak Pipo, our dachshund, into every illustration I can.

  • Waitlist gets in 24 hours early, on 5 November.
  • That's when the 20 founding spots open.

This mail comes from Spain. Your country may add a fee when the mail arrives. That fee is not in this price.

  • First price — 20 of 20 spots left.

The story

I've always loved drawing. As a kid I'd pick a set of coloured pencils over any other toy. Then I studied architecture because it sounded more serious than art, and kept painting watercolours after work anyway.

Two babies and a lot of sleepless nights later, I'd stopped feeling like myself. Drawing is how I found my way back, so I decided to give illustration everything I've got. Now I illustrate picture books from Madrid, with gouache, neocolor and coloured pencils. Some days it works. Some days it's a mess.

Pipo Post is where I share all of it, once a month, on paper: what I'm making, what's working, what isn't. A print to keep, a sticker, and a letter from the middle of starting over.

A real letter from my desk in Madrid. The little wins, the messy bits, and the things I'd only tell a friend over coffee.

What arrives every month

Things you might be wondering
When does joining open?
Joining opens on 6 November at 10:00 (Madrid time). The waitlist gets in 24 hours early, on 5 November. After that, joining opens on the 6th of every month.
When does joining close?
On the 15th of each month. Join by then and you get that month's letter. After the 15th, the page goes back to a waitlist until the 6th.
When do you mail it?
On the 20th of every month. The first letters go out on 20 November.
How much is it?
€13 a month, plus shipping. The first 20 people get a founding price of €12 a month and keep it for as long as they stay.
How does shipping work?
Spain is €1.50 a month, Europe is €2.50 and the rest of the world is €3.50. The right price shows at checkout. It's real snail mail, no tracking: roughly a week in Spain, 1 to 2 weeks in Europe, 2 to 4 weeks further away. Your country may add a fee when the mail arrives, and that fee isn't included.
What size are the prints?
A5 (14.8 × 21 cm), printed by me on fine art paper. Fits a standard A5 frame, a journal, or a corner of your desk.
Who makes the art?
Me. This is a one-artist club: every print is my own work, made at home in Madrid with gouache, neocolor and coloured pencils. And Pipo sneaks into as many as I can manage.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes, and you can do it yourself in a minute. Sign in at snailmailhq.com/login and choose Pause (30, 60 or 90 days) or Cancel. Cancel before the 15th and you won't be charged again.
Can I gift a subscription?
Yes. Choose a gift at checkout: 3, 6 or 12 months, paid once. It doesn't renew.
What if I'm traveling when my letter arrives?
Ordinary letters just wait in your letterbox. If you'd rather I hold yours, write to me before the 15th.
¿Hablas español?
Las cartas están escritas en inglés, pero si me escribes yo te contesto en español también.
What if my letter gets lost or arrives damaged?
If it never arrives, or arrives damaged, email me within 14 days (a photo helps if it's damaged) and I'll send you another one. A few bumps and soft corners from the post are part of getting real mail, so those aren't covered.
What happens when the first-price spots fill?
New members can join at €13/mo.
