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 DKeys on September 2, 2012 at 6:47pm: This just in from KDJ via special Dkult Kourier--She said we could only afford the 2nd place ribbon as we had a big payout on Friday night bingo. I believe she is in the Canary Islands again trying to brainstorm on the next DKult product line--canned goods or chew? Just a couple of ideas rolling around.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on September 2, 2012 at 5:05pm: Thanks Erni! Reminds me of the song LES FLAMANDES by Jacques Brel on Flemish catholic girlZ. Always preferred the French and the immigrant babes! (for obvious reasons)...

Okay, like promised (in my head anyway) a new collage called

Angola Blues, a trashpo comment on elections in Angola

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 2, 2012 at 5:03pm: A sad story for sure, Erni. With whatever Catholic meditation in the Trashpo group Guido unleashed, it did remind me that Jim Carroll (a truly fine writer turned punk rock idol & Burroughs disciple) was a sort of Punk-DaDa nihilist who could never escape the baggage of his Irish Catholic upbringing. Otherwise, is someone running for political office or something?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 2, 2012 at 3:29pm: The Trash Buttons are a huge achievement, but you can bet you are going to see fakes very soon. Take a good look at the authentic ones:

Comment by Lynn Radford on September 2, 2012 at 3:18pm: Adding my congrats to the pile... Trash Buttons were an innovative product! Kudos all around!

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on September 2, 2012 at 11:16am: Sadly I have to inform Belgium will have local elections in October. So after Tampa I decided to trash tackle those in my own banana kingdom. Here is a collage «in support» of the catholic parties. They were NOT amused by my effort. Hell beats me why!

Where are there also elections? Angola, oh boy !!!
