Dear Jamie Oliver and James Bond

As another part of our mail art project we thought it would be really interesting write to people who have the same names celebrities. When writing to them we would send a photograph of the famous individual and ask them to sign it and return it; ultimately creating a colelction of almost famous people.

To start off, I wrote to a J.Oliver and a J.Bond - we found out their adressess using an online phonebook.

It's quite funny as well that we don't actually know what their first name is...I could be writing to a woman.

The letter to Jamie Oliver is from the point of view of a super fan someone who spends all their time trying to meet Jamie Oliver. I wrote this one on a computer but for the second one i thought it might be interesting to write it form the point of view of a child.

When i wrote the letter to J. Bond i pretended to be Jack an 8 year old who had just seen all of the James Bond films.

I really hope we start getting replies from these letters and I will be sending out more soon as I really like the concept. Other people have written to dead and fictitious people and I think it might be interesting to perhaps leave out the photograph in some to see whether the individual is more inclined to sign an autograph.
