"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 Alicia Starr on September 26, 2011 at 8:16pm: angie, Saw this on the street in BA a few years ago and was so taken with it. It could be mailed, yes? Loving this trash. It's piling up, better get to it.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 26, 2011 at 7:56pm: Wow, lots of new members--all riiiiight. Alicia, that is some wild thing you shot there! I'll post my garbage from Lesley soon too. Some is the same (she made that effort, she says, how about that!), but I think some is different too.

Comment by DKeys on September 26, 2011 at 7:37pm: Yippee!! welcome to all the new members!

Comment by Lesley Magwood Fraser on September 26, 2011 at 7:27pm: I'll send you one Bifidus...

Comment by Bifidus Jones on September 26, 2011 at 6:30pm: hey diane, can i have that south african piece of rubbish with the fish on it?

Comment by DKeys on September 26, 2011 at 4:44pm: Rubbish pile from South Africa!!!!! Such interesting stuff. The phone book page in particular with names like: Mtetwa, Msomi, Mtabani, Msweu

Comment by DKeys on September 26, 2011 at 4:41pm: Hey Nancy, no it just looks like that. I take pics on my front porch and since it's raining out today I put it on a wicker outdoor chair. No, my masterful trashpo filing system consists of gallon ziploc bags:) But I sort of know where everything is.

Alicia your right. I think artists have that need to create and can do so out of anything.
