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

Love those Bananas!!!  The blue ones are very interesting and has me thinking. 

You know that Elgin Shroud thing?  I have been having second thoughts about it. 

Right now I'm doing some research on those sickly chickens that turned into Swans and are now living in Hyde park in London.

Hopefully by Monday I should have some more information and answers.

   Have a good weekend!

The blue-green bananas are knockouts !

YAY! Gracias!

NBS, yours was mailed yesterday.

 

Your Portable Dkult Trashpo Shrine can also be an attractive addition to your Dkult-home meditation center. Spokesmodel KDJ has graciously opened up her home to us:

Where can we sign up for one? It looks verrry desirable.

Roberto was the first kid on his block to receive a Dkult Portable Trashpo Shrine. These beauties are blessed by Neil Gordon, have a stunning DK pic as well authentic Elgin Shroud Shred & D-Tat designed by Skybridge & Ray Johnson. More portable shrines are on their way to DKulters:

Yes yes, good ideas, Thom, from good um logic--and remember to send to Dean SOON. You won't be sorry. He's got the inventive and funny thing going superbly.

Comment by Thom Courcelle on April 19, 2012 at 10:56pm

Maybe I should "accidentally" loose more teeth--it follows logically that as a result I would then have more time to make Mail Art!  I would also probably look much more "trashy" with fewer teeth in my smile.  One must suffer for one's art, after all...

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 19, 2012 at 10:38pm

It is a common one, Thom. Same thing drives me nuts, and it's so annoying to have to waste time sleeping instead of catching up with m.a. I forgot you made your trashbooks while imprisoned at home with tooth problems! We all felt very sorry for you, but you made the most of it.

Comment by Thom Courcelle on April 19, 2012 at 10:29pm

I think I made those trash boekies/my tooth fell out before Dean had a chance to join our cult, Nancy...  I am sorely lapsed for not having sent Dean anything yet--but it's in the works!  (I often feel guilty--residual ex-Catholic trauma?--that there are so many talented individuals with whom I haven't exchanged art yet... which is ironic seeing as how one of the reasons I joined IUOMA was to increase my list of postal friends--now I can't keep up with all the fabulous people to whom I'd like to mail stuff!!  I suppose that's a common guilt, but it doesn't lessen my own guilty feelings any.)
