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.

Hello! Thinsg have gotten very hectic in my life this November/december. My cat got very ill (he's finally on the mend) and my partner and I are moving in January,. I can definitely complete any swaps I'm signed up for (I am signing up for way less than usual) but I may be abit slow to rate. I have a little pile stacking up that I will batch-do when I have a breather.
