"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

I received a great trashbook from Alesandra Crowley in Berkeley, CA, who apparently doesn't exist. This sure looks like Meeah Williams' work. Borderline Grafix has had a similar experience. It's a great trashbook, whoever made it.

Martha--is there any way you could post the exact link to download Disia? i don't know how to search through threads here and I am going to send it to her teacher/school. Of course I will write my letter to them using this awesome font!!!!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on December 9, 2014 at 9:38am

Rebecca, I am chuffed you are actually using Dizia, it isi really great I know that is why I had to do it. Now I am writing my Ss the wrong way round and I don't even know any more which is the right one. And typos, well as they say that weeds are plants out of place, typos are just letters oout of place , thye come naturallly to me. Wehn yous ee something I wrote that has no typos it si becaudse I read it hundreds of times.

Diane, please do not apologizze I was joking, cannt you tell?next joke  I shall put one of those funny faces only I do not like them beeing sideways. All these I hav esaid here is not a joke, dead serious I am.

Also dead seriously I had two ideas for DKult The Font. Next year project.

Comment by DKeys on December 9, 2014 at 12:42am

That looks great Rebecca!  i love Disia-it seems to follow a more natural language pattern to me I think all "S" es should be backwards. The more I look at it, the more right it becomes.  Martha--I am so sorry you thought that I thought that you had thought of photoshopping this! I meant are the makers of crapwrap doing a parody or serious. probably a dumb question. i will have to check out their website. Dear Sir Richard Canardly believe it's crapwrap, DKult's official statement on this is that in NO WAY do we support or endorse crapwrap. While it is a direct knockoff of some products we introduced many years ago, the Trashmash and the ShitMitt, we have no way of proving it. Sinisterly RC--your feelings are of utmost importance to us and we share your shock and horror that we did not come up with this idea first.  

nice find BG!  i'm entranced by the black dot and scrawl at the bottom

So very sorry, Richard, to have upset you, I am shocked too, £ 3.99 is a lot to pay for gift wrapping, even as artistic as this. I usually wrap the family presents with the paper saved from the year before, which I smooth and roll first. This year I shall scrunch it and jump up and down on it, tear it and compose a similar art crapwrap.

Diane yes it is real and untouched by Photoshop, how can you suggest I could do such a thing? Have I ever? Tut tut!

08.12.14 Dare Ms. M.A. Martha & DKULT followers,.... I must confess, I am such a pompous & arrogant elitist that I become easily upset when  I see things like  "CRAPWRAP" (TM no less) presented here  on the sacred pages of TrashPo. How & why does this sort of thing blossom to fruiton (outside the U.S.A.) as a commercial venture & big bucks without proper endorsement of DKULT (....not to mention, mind you. that it comes from prim & proper Great Britain) .....it's just so unAmericon... & it sorta makes you wonder ... Are administrative officials at DKULT receiving clandestine  (under the table) "kick-backs"?????  Sinseriously, Richard Canard.... Post Scriptum:.... & in regard to the innocent children...I'm sure it isn't easy living in the household of such an important avant guarde revolutionary artiste.

Ha!! that's hilarious. That's exactly how presents usually look at our house since I hate spending money on dumb stuff like wrapping paper.  I DID give in and buy it this year because of the look on my son's face when I crap wrapped something. is this real Martha or a parody ad?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on December 8, 2014 at 8:51am

and what they sell is pretty trashy too. Pity too late for my Barfa contribution; I already sent a homemade effort. By the way I had read the trashpo manual and found it very illuminating. Thanks DVS.
