Plans Drawn for Trashpo ClubHouse

Plans appear to be copywritten by Texas Taco Cabana. It sure does look cozy and already lived in--by grungy mechanics and fast food workers. David has uncovered a dirty little DKult secret-that it evolved from a Taco Cabana Turquoise cup, and NOT the beautiful…

Mother/Son Collaboration

The title for this piece from Kerri Pullo is "Figurative Languages What's Eating you?"The asemic ips effectiveness cartoon says it all as this trashp-asemic collaboration between her son and her, is very effective. I love every little well thought out detail. I feel Kerri pulls from deep in her unconscious when creating and the depth…

Trashpo Mail Art Show Entries from Katerinna Nikoutsou and Jim SantAmour

two new entries posted on my blog.

Kat, the Queen of Po=integration has combined shredpo, sandopo, listpo, squishedcanpo, choco glam-and synthesized it into a fabulous trashpo montage.

Jim Sant amour's style is unmistakable in this trashpo made from bits and pieces of his scraps.

Dani Street's First Trashpo Piece

I love her purposeful and sparing use of trash bits and I've heard of that fabric that reveals images when you sweat-like a workout incentive I think. Love this Rockette tribute thanks Dani!

Worried Tree from Claudia McGill

Claudia writes, "What? Me Worry?" as the caption for the awesome Picasso-esque tree. I am totally fascinated by Claudia's painting technique. I'm really not sure how she achieves this look. She makes it look effortless, and that it is created on trashpo puts it over the top. Thank you for another masterpiece…

From Kingpins 1 of ?

Received this piece from KingPins in his now infamous plastic boxes. It was accordian folded and devoted to the famouse Elgin Watch. I live in the Elgin Historic Watch District so this was perfect.
