Another mail art in the thrill category--barkpo composed on corrugated cardboard by Neil: To me this is both down + dirty and aesthetically appealing. What a combo. I forgot to ask you, Neil, and others will probably want to know, did you actually find the "stump tree work" ad along with the bark? Either way, I love it. Thank you again, Neil, and for your lovely note on the back of the Bell's Seasoning box.

Cool! I can't find much trash around here on my walks, but picked up some beautiful bark the other day... (Ohh, and very cool piece of rusted (machine/car?) metal!)

Many people are enjoying it, Neil. Long live Barkpo. Your info here adds quite a bit to the lore.

Nancy, found the sticky for the stump removal near the bark, thats what inspired the barkpo, so glad you enjoyed it!!!!!

The rawness is exactly what draws me to Neil's work too, Diane.

Great idea-doesn't get more raw than this, which is what I adore about Neil's trashpo! I'm curious about the stump note too. Is this what inspired the barkpo?

Great work - and the fork is adorable!
