Smiles & Smirks

Information

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.

Comment by Cascadia Artpost on January 14, 2021 at 2:57pm: Why does the US Postal Service feature an international stamp resembling the Covid? To show the world why we're so exceptional, of course! ;-]

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 14, 2021 at 1:36pm: ha! it does look like the Covid virus,

but it really is a beautiful chrysanthemum flower.

Oddly it was put out by USPS for 2020 long before they "saw" the virus!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 14, 2021 at 12:24pm: From Cascadia, do not miss all the details, very amusingly topical.

And the reverse. I did try the dance pattern but I fell down. Failed! just as the Coo-Day-Tah. Very clever Jack! but why does the USA mail service has a stamp with a covid picture on it?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 12, 2021 at 12:26pm: This sticker sent by the Sticker Dude on an envelope requires a well developed sense of humour of the darkest kind. I find it superb in a smirking sort of way.

Reminds me of Terry Pratchet's only too human Death.
