December 2009 - Brewing up a storm

Hell's bells!

That poetry chapbook was good, I feel really proud of it and all the work contained in it was of such a good standard. I thought that by having Doriandra's little quotes as exclamation marks with attitude worked well, it gave the book a pulse, a backbone where the other poems could hang from.

Fantastic stuff!

With all the ideas that are now bubbling away, this in turn has a positive affect on me as it acts as a prompt to me. My idea is this. Either a chapbbok or a fully fledged short novel that has as its plot an art theft. The narrative and plot could be writen by me with images and text supplied by invited team members. The style of the book would have to be as though it were a police file, an ongoing investigation of an art house theft where all the artworks have been stolen. This would mean having the images and text you guys supplied presented as though they were photographic reproductions that have been paperclipped into the police folder. There could be marginal text, again by me, that sets the narrative rolling.

I think it is a good idea but let me know what you all think.

Another welcome is due and this time to Neil who has really stomped his style onto the discharge map. A great start with some fine images and words.

Ruela, Aaron, Jaan and Tictac have all stepped up to the breach in terms of future chapbooks with Murmurists still wanting to produce a DVD version. Obviously we have to keep the ideas pumping and maintain our ever evolving beast of internet art.

Again praise must be heaped on Ruela as he and he alone has put in some huge effort into getting the discharge brand onto so many formats.

Keep those ideas coming in - discharge rules the roost!

PS. Have a great Christmas one and all!
