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

you are right Dan, but you know that later you ended up wearing one of these dresses on your head---you guys got wild that night!

Comment by Lynn Radford on September 7, 2014 at 4:12am

DK, recycled blanket dresses are the best! Much more preferable than walking new wool in hot piss! :)

Comment by Lynn Radford on September 7, 2014 at 4:10am

Thanks for sharing, Dan! So glad you enjoyed The Secret to E.B.'s Success! I look forward to your mail art response. :)

Comment by Dan Mouer on September 6, 2014 at 4:44pm

A fabulous new trashbubble from Lynn Radford just made my day! Love the details. Look at those psychedelic rainbow Global stamps!
And inside the bubble itself is the secret---clearly a dangerous and well-guarded secret--to the Energizer Bunny's ability to just keep going! Fun, beautiful, really well made. Just perfect trashpo mail-art!

Thanks, Lynn. Got to get my devious mind working on retribution..er, I mean...

Had two shocks today, one lovely, which was to find a painted snail here. Years back I did a project called The Artfull Snail and made a book to send to the participants. I couldn't find anything in my computer to show you so I went to the web in case somebody had documented their entry. That was the other shock, both Amazon and Google Books are 'selling' them!  They haven't got any available but are asking for books.This is the link:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0953405702

IT'S DISGUSTING!!!! I hope nobody in the mail art community would dare to sell, but I know of Mail artists who do, at least try , to sell their collection. I had a tiff with Anna Banana on the subject.

Comment by Lynn Radford on September 5, 2014 at 4:41pm

Comment by Lynn Radford on September 5, 2014 at 4:40pm
