Pantlessrobot

Hi there! My name is Eli but you can also find me on Instagram and other places under pantlessrobot. I’m a trans guy from Canada and love making mail art. I collage, paint, draw and carve my own rubber stamps.

My art style is usually really colourful but I really admire artists with a dark, gothic style. I love weird animal facts and history. I used to swap ATCs but decided I like letters, postcards and larger types of mail art and swaps better. I made a Kickstarter last year where i sent out collaged postcards, it’s titled “Make 100: Collage Postcards” it’ll give you a pretty good idea of what my art style is like.

When I’m not working (in the library/archives field) or making art, I’m running a soap side hustle with my lovely partner, cycling, gardening, watching documentaries or playing table top role playing games.

I promise I will never flake on you. If you don’t receive something in a timely manner I am more than happy to resend, just pm me.

May 17 2024: I am very sorry if I have not rated things you have sent me, my partner got very sick in early april and has been in and out of hospital since. Thankfully she is finally on the mend. While I have been keeping ontop of sending things out, I admit I have been very poor at rating things. Very sorry about that. I am currently on a staycation from work and will be catching up on my swaps before the end of next weekend. :)
