"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 DKeys on November 28, 2011 at 2:20pm: Wow! I can't believe it's almost been a year-congrats on you guys completing that. I see the six of wands in there--good sign of success. You must have gotten the tarot card from the Psi-chick (no relation to the spell chick)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 28, 2011 at 2:15pm: Boo is going to complete "365" and we shall cross the finish line on Wednesday! Yay! (and then be free to "trash around" more) Me must make more trashpo books...so much trash in my mail box lately! ;-)

(thanks prettylily..and NBS...and all xx)

You are an Anthro-trashologist.Thanks for the info on the rag pickers and the guy who invented the trash can! Trash is History! I have some trash tales in my family history i'll tell you about sometime,Man--its like in my blood!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on November 27, 2011 at 8:12pm: The White Train - that must be Samuel's reference. I thought the shots of the stations and places in Argentina were amazing and relevant.

Comment by DKeys on November 27, 2011 at 4:42pm: I'm trying to find info on the recycling centers that are said to be popping up all over Paris in which they either resell, fix or repurpose donations they receive. They had made some very interesting art pieces out of old keyboards, tires etc. Thanks for translating Samuel's post. He's probably talking about the movie Wasteland
