Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

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

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 20, 2023 at 2:24pm: What do you mean, revival? I have not ceased to trashpo. I am trashpoing all the time, only that I use home grown trash now. Chocolate wrappers, used stamps, bits of envelopes, etc. Picking trash from the street is a bit dangerous now.

Comment by Neil Gordon on March 12, 2023 at 12:37pm: Trashpo revival!!!! We need a big tent!!!

Comment by Thom Courcelle on March 11, 2023 at 9:31pm: Jeepers, DVS! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!! I mean, I held a memorial service and everything. Some shady-looking guys showed up and asked, "Where's the body??!" I told them you'd had a green burial somewhere in Montana...but I also told 'em I couldn't remember the name of the town, so they'll be occupied for a while anyway...

Nice to see you in the comments section!!! Cheers!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 11, 2023 at 12:48am: The extraordinary Trashpo Revival continues with this NEW work by Legend of Trashpo Thom Courcelle. How could I be so lucky? Thanks old compatriot! What did KDJ say? Something like, "Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in."
