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

inspired by your fantastic DKULTX sticker!! Glad it arrived.  It's meant to be read as a poem too--particularly the BG

Trashpo find of the day - in a public park no less.  Spent Winchester.  By the way, I hate guns and don't own any.  Reminds me of the old saying, pencils do not kill tests, only tests kill pencils.

ok great HOlly--my mind went completely conspiracy theory when you didn't receive it and several others didn't from a batch I sent around the same time.  thanks for posting!

Diane, I am so sorry! I thought I blogged this one on my page. But it seems I didn't. Must have gotten distracted making the accordion book or something.

Strange and bizarre stuff and trashpo from Diane Keys! Arrived on 4-16-14

Dkult Tribute Fay Ache Ray Johnson from Richard Canard!!

Innovation from Holly cooper. I haven't seen this done before. It is a trashpo accordian fold book made of trash. Holly tells me it is very clean in TX so is more challenging to find things. These are more like discards that document a journey--not sure what that would be called. Pages include: postcards, recipe cards, coffee filter packaging (ala Richard canard  packagepo), (braille) mail.  fabulous thank you Holly1 and i'm assuming my package never showed up??? i sent you a bathtub--little ceramic one I've had forever:(

Comment by Mail Art Martha on May 7, 2014 at 6:22pm

Meeah has created such a piercing but subtle poem, I cannot see how that can be trashpo, it is full of meaning for a start and the execution is superb. It may be  that I still do not 'get it', what is trashpo I mean. On the other extreme is my meaningless and trashy work, which  I am glad has arrived, I was a bit concerned as our post is very funny, letters have to be less than a centimetre thick, anything over is a packet so they charge much more. It worried me that you may have to pay a fine. i am looking forward to Holly's book.
