Smiles & Smirks

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.

I went to my post office to pick up my mail on Friday, August 21st, and received some smiles. Here's the August 10th smile from Walmarth, and that big cat is ready for a delicious meal!

It came wrapped in one of her folded envelopes with a newsletter on the inside. I'm including the folded envelope in this scan because the artistamps are so cool, too!

On the back of an envelope. Surely this counts as a smirk.

Your collaged poem is great, Michael, and then, to complete the fun, this landed on the shores of Retailia from Adanaland:
