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

Also Thom!... drink 10 club sodas, make sure you have time for your own self care! If you want to heal  and repair the world through trashpo-trashconsciouness, and Knit -po, You need to take care of yourself too!

Comment by Neil Gordon on April 23, 2012 at 5:05pm

THOM! Sorry for the late reply, i had a funeral at the landfill to officiate! As to your question, No you don't bite of more than you can chew"you just get what you need!"(Mick Jagger) Your artwork and knit work are coming from the collective transhconsciouness! No need to worry Knit on and heal thyself!

I'm hoping Snooky will take the lead in organizing the D-Kanines: Packs of roving dogs that protect DKult members in good standing & track down those who attempt to escape.

Unburden yourself at DKult Thom-until Neil gets back from his coffee break. He doesn't exist in linear time as most of us do so he could be gone for days and not realize it. He's eccentric, but his words of wisdom are well worth the wait.

This just came through the DKult faxline in response to some claims of 'unsubstantiated' rumor of the shroud curing zits. In your face to all the skeptics!

Comment by PIRO on April 23, 2012 at 2:15am

I meant crossing Thom. It's not your confusion.

Comment by PIRO on April 23, 2012 at 2:14am

Thom, you have the answer. I believe all you need is an address. Corring the ocean is good luck in this case.  Just in case you get more confuse. This will help:

HC2 Box 11073

Humacao, PR

00791-9602

Believe me, you will feel better.

I swear upon the Shroud of Elgin that I am not a member of the Royal Flush Gang!

Your piece is really wonderful Sarah - You are a natural!

Comment by Thom Courcelle on April 22, 2012 at 6:27pm

Chaplain Neil!! Chaplain Neil!!  Despite the recent receipt of my DKult Shroud of Elgin Altar™, I am having a crisis of faith.  It was a beautiful day in Seattle yesterday, so I took a long walk and by chance found the following item on the ground:

WHAT DOES IT MEAN???!! 

For someone like me, who is highly influenced by the imagery and wisdom of the tarot, this is highly auspicious!  The Ten of Clubs is equivalent to the Ten of Wands card in the tarot deck which signifies:

"...the card of oppression that shows that we have taken too much upon ourselves, losing the broader perspective in the process. It can also be the expression of having handled something awkwardly. It frequently means that we have skipped a few rungs on the ladder of development and now feel ourselves overwhelmed in new surroundings; tasks and responsibilities hang around our necks like millstones. We could possibly also suffer a defeat in the process. However, to the degree to which we grow into these new areas of life, the feelings of being overwhelmed and oppressed will diminish as we learn to deal with our tasks more skillfully."

Does this mean that I have been biting more than I can chew? Have I AWKWARDLY GONE TOO FAR in my blog posts??  Have I been trying mail art techniques that are WAY BEYOND MY SKILL LEVEL??  And most importantly, WHY IS IT PINK??????

I am starting to feel like this:

Any advice is appreciated.  Should I regress to drawing stick people?  Take a community class on the basics of Trashpo?  Or should I just get over myself and use the Ten of Clubs cards in my next Mail Art project?

Better call in the Kleaners. We have a messy D-Konversion in Seattle. The new line of shreds in the portable shrines are way more powerful than the ones in the D-Kits. Looks like an ODK:
