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 Mail Art Martha on October 21, 2024 at 6:21pm: I am afraid that I may not get all the peas I need in time for Christmas. I contacted Walmarth and I was told I should have ordered earlier.

Comment by Michael Leigh on October 20, 2024 at 1:40pm: H aha! Give peas a chance! (I'll get me coat!)

Comment by Alan Brignull on October 20, 2024 at 12:59pm: How many peas did you receive, Martha?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on October 20, 2024 at 11:54am: Who sent this? It is extremely funny and clever. Thank you, NoName!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on October 16, 2024 at 6:21pm: I am late it is nearly night here but the intention was good.

I had a shock when I went to buy stamps, from £2.50 they have gone up to

£2.80! Oh deary me!

Comment by Alan Brignull on July 22, 2024 at 9:01pm: It's a pity the postmark is so bad …

Comment by Michael Leigh on July 22, 2024 at 8:10pm: Was there anything inside the envelope Martha? How intriguing!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on July 22, 2024 at 7:46pm: Yesterday I received this intriguing envelope, with no return address. Who could have sent it? And why so shy? Watch this espace!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on July 22, 2024 at 7:30pm: Thanks Michael! Very decent snails, mine would have eaten the flower in seconds.

Comment by Michael Leigh on July 21, 2024 at 8:24am: Some snails from me - designs for plate at Tatton Flower Show a few years back -
