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

This tablet is weird and runs away on its own, stopped me from telling you that here we can have beauty treatments, yoga with an authentic Indian guru and also meditation. I do not join in because I am naturally beautiful, perfectly fit and I got enlightened when making my first Trashpo work.

In case somebody may not know the work of Hundertwasser here are a few pieces

Nice of you to wonder about my reality issues.I have none cos I have given up reality and taken to swim in pure fantasy. I am at Bad Blumau in Austria in the world of Hunderdwasser, the artist, poet and eco warrior.He, with somebody else's money, created a resort on hot springs which looks like his paintings.All very great but this country is completely without trash, so no trashpo from me HHunat the moment. Instead I have done some 

Bad Art.

First ever collab between Richard Canard and me

That is fantastic Susan!!  artists are so amazing

Having lived with a Masterpiece TrashPo Book from Erni for well over a year now, I am dividing the pages up into an Add-and-Pass project.  The results--after they wend and weave their way around the globe, changing and multiplying in their mandala-like magnificence--will hopefully terminate back with Erni so that he can see how his creation has blossomed into multi-verse odes of beauty.  If you would like to have one of the pages sent to you, please send me a message with your address.  No restrictions on location--this is a global, international project.  Cheers and Blessings!

momentous occasion for me-I asked Sir Richard Canard-trashpoet and mail art seer, to do a collaboration with me. And he sent this back along with another bit of mail art-an autobiography outlining his possible reason for making trashpoif I can't find it on my computer....

Love it Holly!!! I'm glad to see it has changed forms completely!

FFA is a powerhouse trashpo creator. I really do not think she ever sleeps. Great stuff Dan!!

Comment by Dan Mouer on May 20, 2014 at 6:25pm

Ah, but this innermost sanctum---the holiest of holies, no doubt--is a trove of precious trash for my own creative use, or abuse, I suppose. And among these little snippets of tresure I found this:

A bit of 3x3" card touched by strokes of pure Fake Fine Art. I take this and the other bits, as a challenge to use, to add, perhaps to pass, to create trash from trash from the Queen of DKultSoCal! .

Woo Hoo!

But wait!~ There's more! Inside the first big envelope is a second smaller, even more intimate one, also sealed with the kiss of somewhat diseased lips.
