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

Meeah, I love your statement, "If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials." So true! Also, I love the trash book you made for DVS! Excellent!!

DVS: I'm so glad we have our resident historian/critic back in the fold. Thanks for showing us DK's flash of trashy-book brilliance.

What a great line. It ought to be incorporated into the heading of this group!

Hi meeah, and thanks again for the great trashbook. Below is the first trashbook created by DK in 2011 titled "Ancient Text." Maybe you can see why people who venerate & cherish the book could take exception. In the beginning, there was some mistrust of Trashpo or sense that the anti-art aspect was going too far. It might seem strange, but it did happen.

Ancient Text for Book Call

For anyone who missed it & might be interested, I received a great Old School-style trashbook from meeah williams in Brooklyn.

This led me to revisit material from 2011 when DK invented the first trashbook & critics invented the "aesthetic trashbook" because they thought DK had gone too far with her desecration of the book. It was an interesting exchange. Many thanks to meeah.

"Jesus Jim" Leftwich sent me some great quotes I'll be circulating. Some of us were talking about collecting quotes from Jim & DK for circulation among the trashpoets. Thanks Jim!

super glad you're not dead DVS--welcome back! DKult went on lockdown this entire time. We were just on the brink of cannibalism when you re-surfaced.  We are all like the 130+ Musketeers: all for one and one for all -the one mind-the nothing and the something. we have some new members on FB. one is a friend of mine who doesn't know a thing about trashpo. I think she was just in the mood to join a kult so that's cool. we are clearly infiltrating and DVS==I hope you were able to distribute quite a few pamphlets on your cough 'vacation'.  I know KDJ did on her 'vacation' too

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 22, 2014 at 8:00pm

I'm back from "vacation" and ready for action DK. All is well. Howdy, Dan.
