Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

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

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 1, 2012 at 2:18am: Definitely, DK. Brad can carry about 3 visual poems if I cut it up a bit & mix with other things. This is the first time I thought about saving the original. and it is like some Ray Johnson thing with classic tv stars like Dick & Johnny.

Comment by DKeys on February 1, 2012 at 2:05am: It's a classic find DVS-I always wonder if I should take Helen's suggestion and keep copies of all these found notes. I hope you keep a copy of the mind of Brad.

Good joke ==I needed a laugh right about now:)

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 1, 2012 at 1:54am: "So wet Mary Tyler Moore had to plug the leaks in the Dick Van Dike."

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 1, 2012 at 1:48am: Spell Chick is running the urine tests: I meant opened my mind [to finding trashpo]

BTW: I hear the February issue of the DKULT fanzine is out. Watch your boxes!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 1, 2012 at 1:47am: Seeing DK's Middle School letter earlier must have opened my to finding "The Revelations of Brad." The D-Kult would be a safe place for Brad.

I'll probably cut up that text rather than use it complete like that - but I certainly am discovering the wonders of found material.

And, yes, I admire Brad, whoever he is. Praise Dick Van Dyke!

Comment by DKeys on February 1, 2012 at 1:29am: AMAzing find DVS--what an odd combination of words-ideas. Recoverd addict turned born again? Trashpo from the mind of Brad. Who is Brad? We will never know.

Comment by Neil Gordon on February 1, 2012 at 1:25am: Diane, your kids are trashpo/found art detectives!

Comment by Neil Gordon on February 1, 2012 at 1:11am: Wonderful/inspiring gallery of found hopo,trashpo emo-po! The "found" is the poetic and the art form! Great Vocab lesson!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 31, 2012 at 10:44pm: HoPo = Holy Trashpo. Found on street of PO. Unaltered. Connection between Johnny Carson & Noah?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 31, 2012 at 10:43pm: HoPo = Holy Trashpo. Found on street in front of PO today. Completely unaltered:
