Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Yes effective dreaming is a very good topic for a sci fi novel. I think Ursala Lequin wrote one called 'The Lathe Of Heaven" We are all turned on lathe of heaven, if tormorrow morning does not come, it leaves us only the now. Dreams are cheap entertainment. I love them, no matter what the content. ...

Your mind, sometimes...I wonder. Out, across the leaking pain of indulgence. Set out, across the powder horizon, a line where the white turns to red. The you who is Now- unable to grasp the you that was Then- take action today. Our world explodes, in heresy. Madboy’s Lovesong: The air so thin in hi...

That mid-19th C. piece is terrific, Sober Duck . It seems like we both did our best taking digital photos of things that are for want of an actual scanner, but hey, we work with what we've got--and that's what collage is all about, for me. And tmynd (which I'm mentally pronouncing "T'mind" until cor...

What is it they say about a million monkeys? They might reproduce the works of Shakespeare, but then the words would have no meaning, and they would never provoke thought. I used to do graphic design work. Image correction and pre-press type stuff. When PhotoShop became the industry standard, actual...

Boys are boring, Any red-blooded woman knows that, But when I look at Ice Tea, I forget that fact. Boys are silly, Release them from your mind, Captives are a burden, But oh that random is divine... And you'd think they'd know how many sugars a girl takes in her tea after nine months. ;) Captives, ...

These should be spoken word pieces. Do you perform your work? What was that music you asked us to click on? That is the Pet Shop Boys 'Absolutely Fabulous," Absolutely Dubulous remix. However long the link remains active, everyone can enjoy the dull, soulless dance music. Most of my work lends itse...

ps: and me, being just curious (if rather spurious) am wont to ask, I see some of what you're into, but do you want critique? (I don't necessarily have any; but as I said I'm curious and spurious.) Into? :?: If I publish anything, I'm ready for critiquing. As long as I get to defend the work, too, ...

There really is no "preferred format" here...This site is set up as a gift, really, to the participants. I mean, it's YOUR board in that you have come here to participate, so you are welcome to post any way you feel comfortable with posting. I'll take the "when in Rome" approach rather than the "wh...

These three are basically the same poem, rewritten years after each other. Choosing self-realization over self-destruction is never easy. You don't just wake up one day and say, "Gee, I haven't been paying attention to all the screaming in pain that I've done on these pages. I think I'll take a mul...

Perhaps the morning after whatever hangover produced the series this was in, or a day later, I must've snapped back into self-protection mode. Away with those troublesome and unrequited pinings! Bring on the verbal veils and misdirection! In any case, and just so we're ALL on the same page in this ...

I do believe, though, that you are doing yourself a disservice by posting so many in one thread. As mousey said, it's really hard to digest so much at once and I think your work would be read more if you posted one or two in a thread instead of 5 or 6 ;). That way, readers would be able to take the...

Also called collage, assemblage, and "pieces of crap you got from National Geographic and threw together when you were drunk, you bitch." (my apologies to those on dialup, as I am recently from that digital graveyard, myself) http://www.xmere.com/forums/uploads/1129439057/gallery_1_4_26489.jpg "To G...

eve of destruction With an atomic roar we light cigarettes together, in the dark, believing little, amber thoughts--like flames- will tether us to reality. No one is coming to save you. I think of all the times I've smoked, with whom, why, and if I might be the only one with that particular thought...

Bring it fucking on!!! :D You're good! It can only be downhill from here right? Right? Welcome. I'll be reading. Hope you're not a hit and run poster! The DOA reference is appreciated. No, Mousey1 , I have plenty more that I haven't even put on my own site. Insofar as someone there has cross-market...

When Boys Write Part of me always wants to see what that other boy is writing in his notebook. Hunched over, hunkered down, what furtive scriblings is he hiding from eyes, prying like mine. Is he lying, like me, in careful ways, with a foreign tongue tossed in for good measure? What treasure has he...
