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 August 16, 2022 at 6:13am: Our Postal workers are revolting against measures which will give them a meagre increase in salary in exchange for worse working conditions. Kevin our lovely postperson has told me that it will not affect my outgoing post. That is the good news, but the deliveries will be affected. So I will be like Charlie Brown!

By the way, the Queen is a jolly good fellow with a great sense of humour.

I wish she were really running the country instead of that bunch of nincompoops!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on August 15, 2022 at 8:46am: But waving to the Queen,

and keeping "spirits high" with Snoopy:

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on August 15, 2022 at 8:45am: Hoping this week for mail art delivery...nothing since July29!

As Charlie Brown says:

"Maybe now there is something in the mailbox..."

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 6, 2022 at 6:46pm: Also from Renee, a golden eyed snail crawling over the envelope

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 6, 2022 at 6:44pm: From Renee Brandow, A picture celebrating the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, not without humour. But then Lizzy is quite inclined to laugh at herself.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on July 10, 2022 at 7:10pm: Very good Katerina, a laugh is what I need right now, too hot to be in my workroom on the top of the house! Amazing weather for England.
