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

Thanks, they're great fun to make. Endless combinations of colours and patterns. Perfect for mailart. One is already on its way to you!

Thanks, Sarah. I think its time Trashpoets & artists receive more respect & some benefits for what they do.

Love your fused bag pieces, BTW.

Genius, DVS. De-materialize would solve many of my problems.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 11, 2012 at 4:24pm

This is from the letter that goes with the I-DKard:

Are you tired of people looking at you strangely when you are doing the Divine work of artist & poet gathering trash?

Do police, mental health professionals and "property owners" (no doubt agents of TOXIS!) question & even seek to prevent your right to Free Expression as a Trashpo artist?

Tired of being lumped in with Street People & Dumpster Divers?

Your low-interest, pre-approved Trashpo I-DKard will set you apart from the rest!

If you are detained, your activated card will allow you to be released by DKult attorneys on the grounds you are a political prisoner. Present the Kard when you seek to gain entrance to a restricted area to gather trash. (Not valid in some states and countries.)

SPECIAL FEATURE: Your I-DKard contains a high-tech device developed from secret alien technology that enables the DKult to monitor your whereabouts & safety.

For additional fee, your card will be activated so you can be de-materialized & removed from any adverse situation & re-materialized in the safety of your home.

PASS KODE will be provided upon receipt of your convenient monthly payment plan.

I was trying to put 'I got trashed at DKult' on these designs to see what looked better, but photoshop wouldn't let me. plus I think these are too small, but what do you think?

The tiniest mail art arrived from Neil Gordon - so small the stamps had to go on the front and become part of the art on the front!
