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

We may have to start an AA group in the basement of the Church of DKult.  It'll be in the room right next to the TA (Trashpo Anonymous) group.  Which is two doors down from the Ether-olics Anonymous meeting.

Hi Diane, the Jim Leftwich Trashpo in that link is really amazing if you go through some of it. The "found incoherents" are tremendous. The strange thing is, the dates are pretty old, before the Reign of DK. When I first started researching Jim's stuff - based on the work you were doing - I didn't see any of this. It must have been there, but I thought I sifted through everything. Anyway, "found incoherents" is a treasure trove (IMHO) for anyone wanting to see Classic Trashpo & related material. For all the world, I see the presence of Thierry Tillier in that work but it's not... there's no connection... not possible.

Home again this morning to find fabulous DKult materials from DVS and KDJ, wowie, yeah--thanks, you higher-ups!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 21, 2012 at 6:30pm

I think you're a natural, Sarah. You give me hope, as I love and collect found trashpo and it's all over the place but I rarely really know what to do with it, despite  being an avid follower of our Queen Diane.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 21, 2012 at 3:56pm

OMG, Jim Leftwich, who is the original creator of Trashpo (2005), has done a Trashpo homage to DK!!! This is Trashpo history. Did anyone receive this as mail-art?

Thanks Nancy! I've never tried this sort of thing before, gravitating naturally toward creating graphical pieces full of colour and detail, but once I'd found the piece of mesh on the floor at the end of the street I started noticing things in a totally different way, and amassed a nice little collection by the time I arrived at work. I found it so therapeutic!
