there is more info on the web about him, as well as more artwork. this piece is really interesting, and i am using it as comp wallpaper for a time.

dont forget:

  • - mac cd for [FCU] (possibly to be delivered during spokane printing?)
  • - clandestine art plans – methods of delivery for authentic "dead letters"/next issue
  • - emailing of ideas to be developed – presentation of email discussions
  • - that is the brief review – dont let me forget anything either.

hhmmmmm>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i’m working on it — give me a lil’ more time… i believe. i deliver.

btw, how is work going for you? work is fun. sure, pal! i dont get out until around 11-11:30ish so what are your hourz, anyway? I thot you were graveyard shift.. and the bus system has not been efficient (yet).. i missed two busses the other night tho – and ended up freezing my @ss off, so i went to the NiteLite and had a drink. NiteNite. i was sketching and sipping my booze when two punks came to see what was going down in my book. they were some graffiti punks (currently enrolled in my alma mater, the "art" institute).. one of them took a stab at a chunk in my book, and i will email it to you [they also provided an email contact, as i told them you were quite interested in such clandestine activities such as their much tauted "bombing".) hhmmmm… the chunk the guy threw down was pretty fresh – i can tell by looking at his signature that it (his flashy tag) was the main reason he wanted to throw down. wait and see my friend! wait. and see. hisss… work is not bad – much like stinko’s w/out the unhealthy customer survellaince aspect. quiet. humming paper eaters. business hush..

sweet chunxx, thanxx..
i have been reading about this guy, and how he hoookt up with the surnaturalist movement with Breton… so farzaz, i haven’t seen anything of his that isn’t inspiring..

time fartt>> continuance resumes>>

i will mail [FCU] the CD’s after [Nimbus] is finished with them i have most of this planned out already. the biggest hurdle involves timing and rehearsal… we need to focus on something and do it! and also, we should somehow chronicle our brainstorms. maybe we should sketch and/or write down the stuff we talk about for future reverence… shit. we cover way more ground brainstorming than either of our time allows. we need to do one of two things (at least):

1. summarize ALL ideas we would like to see manifest, perhaps a master list of some kind (we kan keep it kurrent, modify it, love it, etc., as we see fitt..) thenzaz, we need to review the list, discuss goalz, desirez, etcz, and develop some zeriouz pllannzz..- then execute our prisoners in an ongoing deathrow fashion…(pluk n playe)

2. each just do our own thing and follow our individualistic idealz while mutualizing and sharing whenever possible to keep each other juiced up and spitting fire.. this allowz two independent yet synergistic flowz of creative consciousness to evolve while sharing a collective influence amongst commonalities, etc.. this also allowz more freedom concerning material, medium, matter, method, and.. uh, …pace. (freedom to pace kould be good or bad (or both, or neither), depending on point of view..).. some other possibility. \

personally, I can swing any wayz, but prefer the ol’ numero uno as my ass-whippin’ of choice.
chew something for me.

knocka’

i hope you have checked this painting out! i analyze it for a minute every time i start my computah up.. are the bowls full of sky or water? or are they a creation of the abstract manifestation of the artist as a machine-form, hence the indefinite divisibility? dont forget. i am interested in the details of these clandestine planz. what, where, who, how, etx.. let’s work out bugs and tweak the planz to optimize effectz! one method of gaining a more clear focus is simply not to share as many ideas. perhaps only once we have analyzed an idea in full (or to its best completion) on our own should we share it with each other. thus weeding out ideas that fizzle out after a few days or so in our minds. this is not meant to be taken as "our previous ideaz are all shlock" – i am just statin a possibility for narrowing our focus. another method might be to not suggest any new ideaz until the present ones are exhausted. we should maintain a list fer sure of everything. i have a feeling that a list like this would end as more of a history of where our minds were than as a list of things we have accomplished however. i think the best choice would be to make a list – and then IMMEDIATELY do everything on the list!! before the impetus/inspiration escape us. we should strive to stay twice as busy as ever at all timez!!!

-what is the list currently?

  1. photography issue
  2. drugz issue
  3. video (cd) compilation
  4. artikles expansion
  5. literary issue
  6. painting issue/artikles
  7. exploration of DLa image – fonts
  8. reconfiguration of website – physical/graphical

- pick one and lets killl.. i think a good starting point would be to revamp/retool the DLA image on the website, and expand artikles.

-i dont think that it is possible for us NOT to do our own things as well.. i think a good point of kicking back and forth in this aspect is the painting thing — we have a lot of latitude to explore individually and to share the experience and fruits of our efforts with each other. we will rule the world!!

-i also have not heard back about:

  1. the comic convention
  2. any reply to my last email with likewise detailed explanations
  3. snow pictures.
  4. spit up for me.
