it's a mac photobooth shot in comic book mode i took sitting at the puter last week, it's really a great mode with the right lighting.....

[westcoast]

cool. it captured you well. i can't seem to get a decent shot of myself using the Mac comicbook function. the lighting isn't right. but it sure worked well for you. sorta biblical

Actually, Dor...you can butt in any old time

and fact is, I hope you all hang onto your enthusiasm because we are outta the loop this week but hold on, it's coming!

westie, we could use a cheer(you on)leader. Someone to rouse the tribe and keep the energy high...

I feel (uhohh!) that we need to be elastic (not plastic) with what can be called art, or what you have to trade. Homemade goodies? Sure. Don't have any homemade stuff? Don't make stuff? Maybe we need to think about alternatives...ideas are welcome.

For instance, homemade cd's of music you like or a cd of you's reading poetry or a handwritten poem pasted up with collage art, stuff you cut outta mags or something. (This could turn into art class if'n I am not careful. Not that that is bad!)

I know you guys will think of something you can do if you stretch your elastic minds.

I love some of the stuff you have already posted but hang on to it until the "real" (really?) swap starts. This is not the bazaar (o yeah?) yet. This is the place for you to input what you want it to be, what you think...think...it should be and ideas, any and all of what to call it, what the rules (o NO! not rules!) should be, stuff like that. I (or Cec) don't wanna be rulers so lets make this a community effort. Ideas about art, ideas about parameters, you know...

And thank you mucho. I can't make this happen without you.

Sitill simmering? We could make a stew.
I guess a GO is a swap meet for me.

I got some nice tomatoes if any body wants to swap a few turquise avocadoes or maybe some nice blue corn for them.

Sitill simmering? We could make a stew.

i'll set it up whenever sooZ and cecil say they are ready.

I don't have any avocados or corn but I'll trade a few jalapenos for those tomatoes.

[panta rhei]

it will take me some time to read through this whole thread, but from first glance, the concept sounds great to me... and i'd love to be a part of this!

[WIREMAN]

it is a great concept.....and the visualizations of the work to be exchanged are going to be of the utmost importance...........

[Doreen Peri]

Do we still want to do this? No rush.. just sayin.. it's been a while. I can unstick it if you want or set up the forum or ??? or??? i donno

hey I'm ready to SWAP ideas!
