Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"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 April 14, 2014 at 8:36pm: I don't think we have anyone above ground in the Bronx. DVS needs to get on that. I'm working on a DKult recruitment video so everyone can just send people to the web to get more info. This should lead to quite a lot of expansion.

Comment by Susan McAllister on April 14, 2014 at 6:47pm: Surely, there are DKulters everywhère.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 14, 2014 at 4:28am: Thank you, Susan. I'm writing that on my wall. Yesterday, watching a Red Sox vs Yankees game on tv while failing to make 3-scrappers, I had to wonder why there's a big DKNY in the outfield at Yankee stadium. Is there a DKult person in the Bronx?

Comment by DKeys on April 13, 2014 at 1:24pm: p.s. the shreds on Lynne's art are actual money.

Comment by DKeys on April 13, 2014 at 1:23pm: Ed the Night Guy--appearing nightly at the Martini Lounge.

here is an awesome envelope I received from Rebecca and another puzzle piece from Lynne Gurnee

don't have another complete puzzle yet but can't wait to put them all together.

Comment by Susan McAllister on April 11, 2014 at 6:57pm: Nancy, 2012 is classic. It will never go out of style.

Comment by Dan Mouer on April 11, 2014 at 2:24pm: Maybe he's the cable guy moonlighting?

Comment by DKeys on April 11, 2014 at 12:18pm: lolo--me too Nancy. We can fight it, but we are chaoticians at heart.

trashpo find of the day!! I love this one because without knowing him, I totally love "the night guy" he should be a character in a show

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 11, 2014 at 2:29am: Oh Diane, funny you say this. When finally it was done, I thought "What the hell year am I in, 2012?" It looks like from then! You know what transformations your work goes through, with the constant experimenting mail art forces on you (in a good way). Two years ago in art is a long time! I can't wait to see what you do with all the shards--sounds like a good party to me. (p.s. Minimal for me is a truly wonderful place to visit, but apparently my DNA lives elsewhere.)

Comment by DKeys on April 10, 2014 at 2:16am: and I'm glad to see you Nancy!!!!! I think it will be very healing putting all the shards back together again. Nancy the piece you sent is really amazing. I know you were going the more minimal route as of late, but i really love Nancy Classic!!!!
