"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 Rebecca Guyver on February 1, 2016 at 4:12pm: Fabulous, Carina! It belongs in the bothy, and that is an accolade. Carina for camp leader!

Comment by DKeys on February 1, 2016 at 3:25pm: Carina! I'm so glad you posted this! It was amazingly inventive and I believe the first of its kind. This deserves a trashpolitzer for our home goods product line. The pencil was down to a stump, the candle was pre-burned, the scrabook-i have not had the heard to write in, the Dkult matches serve as a great advertisement and should be distributed in bars for bar flies everywhere!!!

Comment by Carina on February 1, 2016 at 11:51am: DKult stationery, sent to Diane.

Comment by Lucky Pierre on January 27, 2016 at 3:48pm: What a great weekend. Art world friends from the Hamptons arrived in Charleston just after Richard C left. They told me about Billy Strong who travels the world making sculpture from trash...and promised an introduction next time I visit the Homeworld. Check it out.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 26, 2016 at 10:49pm: I am thrilled to announce that a new chapter has been added to DKult! Welcome DKult Spain (DKULTSPA). The eminent mail artist Rafael Gonzalez, who has been doing work in the spirit of Trashpo for many years, will serve as the chapter's first president. Many thanks to Rafael!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 25, 2016 at 1:12pm: New official propaganda pic of DK. Those of you in the FB Trashpo group know that DK became overwhelmed in a battle with TOXIS agents. Let us all channel our collective thoughts into giving her a full recovery.
