February 1, 2017 - A reluctant Kulter at best, Joey Patrickt has emerged as a Karnival of Trash All-Star. He has generously applied his unique talent and post-urban sensibility to a series of focused pieces that have helped the KoT become, I say humbly because I am told by others, a mail art exhibit triumph. Today I am thrilled to be able to share three Joey Patrickt pieces that I believe show him at the top of his correspondence art game. In addition to addressing Trashpo/Kulter themes, the final piece is also a wonderful contribution to Post-MinXus art.

An added bonus is the “platinum mink” to become a part of MinXus lore. Some might remember the “tangerine mink” of the Golden Age.

And we still have more Joey Patrickt ahead before the curtain goes down on the KoT. Thank you, Joey!
