Smiles & Smirks

Information

Art with a measure of humour is required by Walmarth Corporation for its chain of supermarkets, located in the Queendom of Retailia and in Cascadia Artpost. Through this collaboration Cascadia Artpost and Mail Art Martha are continuing to give impulse to Trashpo, the artistic vision of Diane Keys.

‘Walmarth Corporation is an entertaining and witty parody of corporate, consumer culture. Cascadia Artpost’s painstaking realization of Mail Art Martha’s ideas through detailed, special effects style models makes Walmarth Corporation one of the crowning achievements of Trashpo in the half-decade that it has been producing a large quantity of art.’

In addition to Trashpo the Corporation has now expanded to include political satire, parody, comics, caricature and witty playfulness.
Your contribution is needed to fill the shelves.

Comment by Michael Leigh on May 20, 2020 at 1:01pm: Thanks Martha - Here's another one from the archives -

Comment by Mail Art Martha on May 20, 2020 at 6:05am: Great ads Michael! I had heard that Trump and our own BoJo have both important collections of these cards. Now I know why.

I cannot understand why everybody seem to have too much time in their hands. I get up at 5.30 or so, go to bed at 11 plus and never finish all I wanted to do in the day.

Comment by Michael Leigh on May 19, 2020 at 6:43am: Excellent printing Carmela and clever robot stamps by Jackson and Adam. I was tempted to send off for these but sorting out a swap and self isolating is too stressful at the moment. I might have a go making my own set though as I have so much time on my hands!

Comment by Carmela Rizzuto on May 19, 2020 at 1:19am: I received 42 'BUILD A BOT' segments from Jackson and Adam Roussopoulos last week. I had fun today assembling several bots--definitely put a smile on my face! Thanks guys! Shall we name them, Bubo, Sunny and Maximilian after the movie bots?? Scroll right if you cannot see all three bots.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on May 17, 2020 at 6:49pm: Thanks to you Fleur! probably the present abstract inclinations are due to a wish for escaping the current situation. I am enjoying it. Is is completrly new to me.

I didn't know about the Walmarth Retailia espress. I must get on it to explore the Queendom!
