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 September 8, 2020 at 1:32am: I received this surprising card. Autograghed too.
Apparently somebody told Boris I admire him !?!

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on August 29, 2020 at 4:44am: I'm glad that you like my silly little cards, Martha. I'll be putting one of them in the mail to you tomorrow!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 28, 2020 at 7:03pm: Michael! honestly! Do not mention the o word here! Falling in my case is genetic. As a child my knees were always painted in lovely tones of black blue and purple with an occational touch of yellow, like a weird sunset. I am sure that contributed to my love of colour.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 28, 2020 at 6:39pm: Oh Fleur Silly cards? I like them. Mine are always silly. Sometimes I think I will be chucked out of the universe due to my lack of seriousness. That must be why I formed this group, sillyness is not only welcomed but a requirement.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on August 28, 2020 at 6:28pm: I've finished the very silly set of mail art cards. There are six cards in all, and I've chosen these two to post here.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on August 27, 2020 at 6:45pm: Take care, everyone! In the meantime, let the fun continue.

Right now, I'm working on a very silly set of mail art cards. As soon as I've finished them, I'll post a couple.

Comment by Michael Leigh on August 27, 2020 at 5:12pm: Glad to wrist is better Martha. Yes, so easy to fall over especially as you get older. I slipped on the ice a few winters back and kicked a nearby concrete bollard. My big toe went black and was very painful. Ouch! So hopefully no ice this Winter! Only in my rum and coke!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 27, 2020 at 2:08pm: Michael and Ilya!

Thanks Michael. Better now I mean the wrist. My ego is ailing, it took the worse tumble. i feel so stupid. I had reached the landing and put my foot on the next step, which, of course, was not there. And fell sideways. Rather funny isn't it?

Of course Ilya, anything you think is somewhat funny but do not injury yourself!

Comment by Ilya Semenenko-Basin on August 25, 2020 at 9:42pm: Please tell me if I can be of use to Walmarth Corporation.
Can I contribute?
