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 Mail Art Martha on May 27, 2020 at 5:13am: And Jenn, I am so happy you are enjoying the group. My vocation I think has finally revealed itself. I like to entertain, since a child I have been a bit of a clown.

Thank you to all of you that contribute to the fun!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on May 27, 2020 at 4:29am: Jenn, I will send some mail art to Lacie included in mail art for you, in my Solstice posting.

Comment by Jenn Miltenberger on May 26, 2020 at 2:34pm: Michael- I had forgotten about "The Red Balloon," thank you.

Martha- Her name is Lacie. She's 9 and has Down Syndrome. She's one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet!

Katerina- it's great isn't it? Her kids are lucky to have some wonderful school teachers.

I'm enjoying all the posts on this thread. So thanks all involved :)
