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

I confess that I have cut up many of my watercolours and used the bits for collages. One could call it making purpose built trash. There, guilty too.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on November 16, 2014 at 7:32pm

I cannot imagine anybody thinking that DK is at all an agressive Goddess , quite the contrary or that you, DVS are being negatively critical. And I aplaud the proposal of a DKult Centre, perhaps a commune? When can I move in? Can I bring my pet snail?

Comment by DKeys on November 16, 2014 at 1:18pm
I am happy to convert all my worldly possesion to communal asset as well as being waxed. A wax figure that is. I cut 2 maybe 3 canvases that I thought sucked. I kept the ones I thought were the most successful. The only trashllages I feel like making going forward are 3d ones. I do not think DKULTNY is being critical at all.

Thank you Martha and DKULTUK.

I just finished explaining elsewhere that none of this is anything negative aimed at DK. And DK is not an angry goddess who throws lightening bolts at Kulters who offend her.

I am moving forward on the really positive side of this - an eternal repository of Trashpo.

Many of us dreamed of someday making the Elgin Mansion "The Graceland of Trashpo" - a wax museum and art gallery.

Maybe it is time for DK to sign over the ownership of her house to the Kult! Perhaps others will join in signing over the worldly things that weigh them down to Dkult so they will be free!

i am all for conservation but I am never so happy than when I am destroying somebody else's work, only to make it better of course. I am also a firm believer in evolution so this was a tough decision.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on November 16, 2014 at 11:30am

Diane; i just found out about your horrible experience re ears and spinning rooms. I had that once due to a virus and it is no joke. It did clear completely on its own, no antibiotics, nothing. Here the doctors are tough.

I hope you are fully recovered and it is nice to see Dizia installed, did Tigerlily liked it? Did you found that using [ ] and # gives unexpected symbols? Next effort, the DKult font, but that needs thinking carefully. Any drawing can be a letter but has to be strong, simple and two colours only, no subtleties. Suggestions wellcome.

I have a  problem with sending my vomit, good description, to Amanda Villacreses. I cannot get her address, I am not in Facebook. So what do I do? And what does FB folks mean? It took me ages to figure out that DKULTNY meant DKult New York... help!!!

I encourage everyone to sign the petition and join the DKULTNY effort to preserve early Trashpo masterpieces and keep them safe from "recycling collabs."

It's awful LP!  i woke up one morning and the room was literally spinning. Luckily that only lasted for 2 days.  I went to another dr and he said it was inflammation and fluid in the ear. He diagnosed sinusitis and put me on a course of steroids. I just took my first dose and I'm hoping it helps.  I hope your partner is helped by the PT. I have heard it works and the exercises aren't hard if you can wait it out through the dizziness

Comment by Lucky Pierre on November 15, 2014 at 2:51pm
I know something about vestibular PT. My dear partner in crime, Pirate Bob had a sinus infection that spread to the inner ear. It caused nerve damage which leaves him experiencing vertigo all the time. The nerve cannot be repaired, only removed which would leave him deaf in one ear. That option will not be explored until he finishes, yup: vestibular PT. We are hoping the exercises will help him manage the dizziness/help to alleviate the situation.
