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.

We've already had a glimpse of Foldilope 15, but here's another look. My copy contained a little booklet of Late Winter Haiku as well as Valentine greetings. Yes, I'm late in posting this --- I've had it for a week or two --- but better late than whenever!

Don't be alarmed, smirks are only directed to politicians! You are safe.

I remember the kid, some TV series but which?
