I love how Cara has included a subliminal "Dkult for life" in here. This is working on the postman's psyche

I Heart this Art!

This altered Pepsi packaging came from Its Like Television Snow…

I sent this to Richard:

He sent the lightbulb postcard in response then I received this fantastic bottle of hooch…

Confusion was in the air when a package arrived from Nadine with a postage due sticker, yet had uncancelled postage on it. We are not sure what happened as my mailman then told me that when that happened he would add postage. So Nadine sent me a c-note plus one dollar, which should really go to my generous art benefactor, Dario the postman. But I will definately keep it for…

How am I able to instantly recognize art from Carina at one glance? It must be the subdued tones, vintage ephemera, and subtlety. The best translation I could find was that this was about Hekku Hawk and Woddy's Shenanigans. Carina will have to enlighten me on…

Classic Nadine--I MUST have these purple gems!!!!!!!!  Buy Now Pay Never--is that the same as free? I'm confuzzled. I myself always try to match…

I have never seen anything like this. It is a gorgeous tapestry made from bits of cigarette boxes. I have never seen anything so beautiful made from something so unbeautiful. Amazing addition to the trashpo show thank you Cuan!!

This will be a travelling exhibition and will open January 2013. It will be on display at various sites around Elgin during the year including City Hall…

I was so excited to receive mail art from Vizma once again. After her trip to the US and being robbed by Rooty Tooty the homeless souvenir, it is no wonder that all she has left to make art with is trash. Wish makes me very happy!! This awesome trashbook is…

People here at IOUMA are the best storytellers, and Aracara is no exception. The saga of NY Fruit Loop is hilarious. It looks like DKult will be opening its' gates to Mr. Froot. The back tells her own personal experience of adopting a homeless person named…

This is definately one of the more unusual pieces of mail art I have ever received. I think I'm glad Jayanna is not a good shot. I was very confused though, as the target she has drawn is around "Miss Lake Belton International 2007" and appears to be Jayanna…

Mail from the Planet of sad,…

I have to admit I have been too terrified to do anything more with this art. I have added to the coffee sleeve as instructed by Dkult's resident bad ass gangster Fat Steve "The Sleve" (no one knows the true origin of his name and no one dares ask)--how could I not with a bomb pointing at me? The problem I now have, is that Nadine did not tell me what to do with this Charbucks…

I thought this piece was from Susan McAllister originally. I find this piece  so well conceived and fascinating in its' precision and detail. I could honestly look at it for hours and wish it was a poster size. It is calmling as everything fits neatly contained in its own space, unlike life that gets way out of line…

Dean tells me that his wife is his greatest inspiration-if she tells him to throw something in the bin, it gives him the idea to make art out of it. I like thinking of his wife as the human trashpo detection system-what is garbage to her, is art to us. I don't…

Cheryl sent me cross section of a 'massacred' larger work along with a photo of the entire piece. It is beautiful and smells deliciously of paint. Below is a piece from Svenja Wahl and she has written "Don't Ask" on the back.I can only speculate as to what she means, but it definately makes me WANT to ask. She has adhered this delicate paper to the back of some plastic-such a…
