"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

08.01.21 Dare Ms. Sabrina S.,...."Motico"...I thought it meant an early form of tidbits of cardboard & trash refigured as an early form of Ray Johnson's collage efforts.  See Google's  "Ray Johnson /Moticos" for a more comprehensive & intelligent  definition. SinCelery, Richard Canard

Comment by Sabrina S on January 8, 2021 at 9:50pm

What's motico?

08.01.20 Dare Ms. Diane Keys, ...trash moving into the "fine art" area ---be careful....do I sense a bit of motico here? SinCelery, Richard Canard

Trash Currency. Exchange rate varies.

Hi Mick, I figured that is what you meant and I am right there with you. I will not shop there. Maybe Walmartha is a better name?

Love your observation Martha-when you are an artist you are never bored and when you are a trashpoet, you never run out of supplies.

Hope you all are doing well and here is to fun in 2021

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 8, 2021 at 12:38pm

Mick how could you have mixed the two. Walmarth is in the United Queendom of Retailia, in the Cloud and has an h. Perhaps it should be spelled WalmartH. And it is a dig at our consumerist society. But I see you used WalmarhT as it should be, from the outside.

I used to pick up rubbish in the streets of London, probably the trash capital of the world. Ah! Those were the days! No danger of picking up a killer bug, only tetanus, tuberculosis or the bubonic plague. 

Comment by Mick Boyle on January 8, 2021 at 6:43am

Oh DianeKeys I meant the other Walmarth, that's the one I like to avoid.

But your Walmarth I love.

I remember fondly prowling the perimeter collecting trash to make Trashpo. It was like a trip to an art supply store.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 8, 2021 at 6:15am

Diana, W is for Walmarth, sorry, I am lazy to type, yes it is Dizia, indeedy.

Do not be sorry for me, being locked down is not too bad,  we are well organized and enjoy our own company. Of course there are things we miss like our trips to Walmarth and picking up rubbish but a mail artist is never  locked down.

Comment by DianeKeys on January 7, 2021 at 6:45pm

Mick, why do you feel guilty shopping at Walmarth? Making trashpo is definitely uplifting and there is inspiration everywhere--even if we don't pick up the debris we see.

Thank you Vermina! Is that font Dizia? Forgey now Lili spelled it..Di sea?  

Martha, who is W? Sorry you are in lockdown. But I know you and where there is a Walmarth, there is a way!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 7, 2021 at 6:33pm

Mick! Vermina thanks you from the bottom of her heart. If you go to your page you may have a surprise. Or not .
