Mail art by IUOMA member Borderline Grafix (Austin, Texas, USA)

August 30, 2016 - A slogan of Karnival of Trash 2016 is “Trashpo: It can only get better.” The Karnival of Trash Mail Art Call is proving the statement without irony or a knowing wink. The work is amazing! Borderline Grafix sent this new publication from the DKult Fan Club Press that features a special section on the Karnival and original work by Diane Keys among other must-see items. This is a treasured collector’s piece in conjunction with the show. Many thanks.

This issue is very visual. Especially from a Kulter perspective, I think the flow of images (and minimal text) are very effective. Some of the conventions of the Trashbook are present. My favorite page for sure:

Wow! A stunning interpretation of the Karnival of Trash theme.

I think the back cover is especially powerful as well, making good use of “Classic” Trashpo composition (aka D-Khaos) and iconic bits from none other than the Queen of Trash herself. Here is the envelope with, I think, a raindrop smudge from coming out of the post office:

My favorite bit; "NO TOURISTS".
