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.

That is what they are called? So perfect ! but no, they are not mine but are at a local organic farm. Elgin lets people have chickens and bees. During the stay at home era, lots of people got chickens. 

So was snow in the artillogical forecast?Because it snowed  today which means it is a good day to make art or snow angels?

Sabrina, sorry, but a smile in your face is worth a hundred breakfasts spilled. As Catfusious said.
