Smiles & Smirks

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.

Richard, Walmarth welcomes you into its clutch, and hopes that you take advantage of the many upcoming dumpster specials this summer. Also, remember if you visit Cascadia, that Walmarth Cascadia also has Trashpomobiles for your transportation needs.

This had me laughing for a while!

Hide's sense of humour made her convert to a funny face the stamps on the card she sent me with only one crafty well placed line. And the US post office added wavy hair to it.

That is what I am doing every day. Haven't got inside the bottle yet; it is the bottle that gets inside me! Great drawing, thank you, Sabela.

And thank you also, Katerina. By her expression it seems that your masked lady is having fun too, while taking heed of good advice.

Well well well, fancy that! I was right after all on the Terry Thomas thing. Pure fluke.

Actually the "Ding Dong" chap is Terry Thomas although Leslie Philips might have ripped him off in a film once. Sid James with a pipe from some film - probably "Carry ON Up The Walmarth"!

This is a tiny card from Theo Nelson that was sent to me by Carol Stetser.   Perhaps Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha, the one that killed rats with her teeth?
