Dustin sent this outrageous piece of art--one of the most unique I have received. It is a trashpo heart and is made to scale from what I could tell. A trashpo Valentine like none I've ever seen. His bits of office 'harware' continue to bring a whole new dimension to trashpo. As Dkult Chaplain he has these words of wisdom:

"Of course, we all must accept-no- LOVE trash to the point where we WRAP it with our never ending embrace"

I'm a believer thank you Dustin!

Right, Rain Man not Rain Main. I wonder if Dustin watches "People's Court"? or Judge Judy? - was that the show" woh~ Dustin Hoffman. Dustin Hamby. Woh!

I still think he's mummifying stuff.

Very moving. There's a lot going on inside that heart.

The feet make this piece, hands down!!

agreed DVS--Rain Man AND Rain Main. The trash po heart arrived wrapped in felt tied with a wire. It looked like a bomb, but Dustin really languishes in the details. Rich stuff indeed!

DK gets the Oscar (Meyer Weiner).

This just goes to prove my belief that Dustin is the Rain Main of mail-art. People go for years trying to achieve what he does effortlessly. No accounting for it.

Steph, yes. it is a ball wrapped in thread, rubberbands, a doll, dog figurine, trash, toy parts, gold thread, nails, brads, and fabric. It's really amazing. The cherry on top is an Oscar the grouch sticker of him in his trash can.
