"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 21, 2011 at 1:52am: Glad you like it Amy-thanks for posting. The envelope must have been from PLilly=all the trash in the booklet is from my own trash stash--hers is much more elegant:)

Comment by Amy Irwen on November 21, 2011 at 1:51am: What a GREAT envelope filled with "delicious" trash....and NO I did not taste it!!

But I did OOOOHHHH and AAAAHHHH over it....can't wait to send Neil Gordon back something that will sure to WHET his visual taste buds.... <3

Thank you NEIL....hugs

Comment by Amy Irwen on November 21, 2011 at 1:34am: I received this really AWESOME trash book from Diane Keys...and as per Diane, the trash was a gift from Pretty Lilly, which she forwarded on to me in this book... and it came all wrapped up in a "Holy Trash" envelope... :-) ..... thank you Diane

I think someone aught to pay that "Past Due" bill so we can have some more Trash Booklets sent!!!

Comment by Amy Irwen on November 21, 2011 at 1:01am: ooohhhh...that would be a "sticky" mess!!! :-)

Comment by Amy Irwen on November 21, 2011 at 12:52am: Sent to Karen Champlin...

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on November 19, 2011 at 3:32pm: Hmm, interesting. His trash looks nicer than what I used to get in box lots at a tailgate auction in Bridgton, Maine.

Comment by DKeys on November 19, 2011 at 3:03pm: sort of, yeah, KDJ. Actually, I've been watching the series that Neil Gordon told me about called Trashopolis on the Smithsonian channel. It is an EXCEllenT show and they did a segment on this lame wannabe trashpoet. Box of garbage, seriously?

Comment by DKeys on November 19, 2011 at 2:27pm: This artists sells NY garbage. I think it's lame because he doesn't actually make it into anything-it's like trash still lifes
