These are four works that we received this week that grabbed our attention. They are by [Bernard Klevickas](http://www.bernardklevickas.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com) of Queens, [Rainer Zamojre](http://www.zamojre.de/?ref=hyperallergic.com) of Germany, [Dave LaMorte](http://davidlamorte.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com) of New Jersey and Dave Byrd of Brooklyn (whose website I couldn’t find).

Each has created work that stood out from the dozens of entries we’ve received so far. Zamorje’s humor was appreciated — *and now we have a whoopie cushion for office pranks!* LaMorte’s postcard plays off the kitschy nature of postcards with his continental US shape layered with a brightly colored elements. Byrd’s submission would have been right at home in the [envelope post](https://hyperallergic.com/mail-art-bulletin-envelopes/) we did last week. Klevickas’s folded work went beyond anything we’ve received to date in that it was beautifully constructed but also sculptural. It was a pleasure to uncover each layer.

Enjoy the latest.
