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

DKult is nothing more than a cult dedicated to the worship of trash and creating trashpo. Membership is all inclusive -Dtats have spread to the animal kingdom as evidenced by this inked cheetah from Svenja!

Trashpo Mindfulness from Lynn Radford--she tells me this was made with trash she found during a walk in the woods. This is one of a series and I am anxious to see the rest!It is transparent and when you hold it up to light the "Po" glows in an ominous way. Love the way she put this all together.thank you Lynn!!

Not Hi==Amazing van!!!!! What adhesive did you use to get everything to stick? I love the carousel horse on top.  And what are the spikes made of? Welcome to trashpo!

No, it never made it into the movie, but Harrod was planning to put it in one of his calendars when the wrecking yard got it.

WOW!! That's Mobile TrashPo at it's finest!! Not Hi Ng, was this bus ever included in the Wild Wheels book/movie?? Someone nicked my book at uni so I can't check!

Comment by Not Hi Ng on May 14, 2012 at 3:27am

Thanks, DVS.

That's a bus I would like to be on.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 14, 2012 at 3:02am

Not-Hi-Ng, you are definitely Natural Born Trashpo.

 

Perhaps we could use your "road kill" as a prototype for a new tour bus, should DK ever go back on the road again.

Trashpo is getting classy & MinXus is getting trashy!

I’m new to this group and thought I would introduce myself by way of the ‘Industrial Wasteland Van’. I don’t know if this qualifies as Trashpo or not. I bought it in 1983 while in college and lived in it to save dorm costs. I collected trash from the streets of San Francisco, which I called road kill, to adorn it. Paint was the only other addition. It became home, studio and project and evolved, taking on many changes, over a period of about 12 years. It fell victim to the Great Auto Eating Monster of the Wrecking Yard. Its remains may now be parts of Toyotas and BMWs out there somewhere.

Sarah and Dean! You have empowered and inspired me to embrace the "Mail And Dash Method! A beautiful spontaneous, autonomous way of spreading ART!!! I love it and all the work posted on this site! Whew-Trashgasm>>>>>>>
