TREMBLE WORLD, for The Society is to bring you a new and terrible vision . . .
We are preparing to bring to you . . .

Okay maybe not "wrath". But it is going to be intense with all sorts of deeply philosophical themes, and stuff like that.
And naked chicks.
It aint art without tit.
To prepare the masses we will be allowing you to read our correspondence to prepare yourselves for the onslaught of our vision.
Plus it is a cool way to piss away time when you are at work.
Here now is the emails! Prepare for they doom, mine enemies!

Consider the following to be a formal challenge. This is of course in addition to the standing challenge to bitch slap your ass any time you want in Warhammer. (Next time I am not trying anything fancy like last time. Back to the old fashion death by hordes of gobbos.)
The new challenge: In just a few years it will be the 20th anniversary of our joint gallery show.
The challenge - for each of us to put together a body of work and have another show together.
I figure once every 20 years we should see if we can pull it together.

Very cool. Really. Just very cool.
Okay. This time 'round, for my part, it will be a focus on photography (last time it was painting and photography). The timing of this is interesting, because I have been conceiving of a series of pieces that play with objects, type and mirrors (to be photographed). The concept, in broad strokes, is based on the notion that truth -- as in a single "thing" -- does not exist, but rather that we decide on a single truth for our immediate needs, moving forward (oft in error) based on assumptions, perceptions and our own decision-making process.
I was listening to someone lecture on the "irrational," where "rational" = our ability to gather all of the required information on a given subject and to process it seamlessly and flawlessly, coming upon a single solution (a truth, if you will). As this is impossible -- in theory and in everyday application -- we must consider that most of what we do is "irrational."
Additionally, I have, of late, been playing around with communications, in general, and settling on a cool, virtual space that is a dead letter office: where people start conversations (or continue them, as possible) with people who are not there ("there" is a place where the intended recipient would actually receive the letter, et al).
Finally, and here it is especially interesting that you mention WarHammer, I have been setting up little physical scenes, based on belief structures, and then poppin' photos of 'em and working with them further (Note: here the characters are not from WarHammer, or anything like that, but... Hmmm. Ha).
All of these are somewhat interconnected, but with your idea of having a second shared show, well, I can see them working well together as a body of work for a show.
Okay.
I accept your challenge.
So... Details. What are we shooting for here?
ciao.

Wow - I was just planning on making pretty pictures.
Crap now I have to have a theme.
Actually I have been doing sketches for more abstract/folk art. Moderately large abstract landscape oil pastels, some work outsider art with found objects, collages, etc. Some porn but not too much.
As for setting up scenes based on belief structure I always wanted to do a series of paintings or photos of the stations of the cross as bondage SM with lesbians. Get some of the suicide girls for the models. Not overtly pornographic, just giving it a creepy edge by using sexual women as the models.
Details - we both work and have kids so I figure a 2-3 years to get it together. Then look for a place to show.
Actually if it is OK with you maybe we should continue this discussion and prep on The Society blog. It would be interesting to be able to post this, or highlights of this at the show. Evolution of the ideas, etc.
If it is cool, I will post what there is to date, and then we can work from there.
Shut up, bitch! You said a "Challenge," and with that, I have no choice but to whoop your sorry ass, ha. Seriously, though, your email got me excited, so I thought that I would share some recent musings and project explorations... Your stuff sounds very cool, actually. "Porn..." eh? Hmmm. Why am I not surprised. It does seem to work, though (hate when it seems forced or contrived).
Maybe we should have the opening catered by hookers dressed in S&M outfits. Really only need two or three of them to work the room (I mean carry trays of food and drink around for our invited guests).
[Insert joke about our favorite slut here]
Place to show: maybe rent out a restaurant for the opening night and then just have our stuff hanging there for a month (for sale, or not). The thought of having to "perform" for a gallery seems just so, hmmm, what is the thing I'm lookin' for here... So, "Bullshit." And then, too, there is the whole "Is it art because it hangs on a gallery wall; is it not because it hangs someplace else (if at all)?" thing.
Posting all of this to the blog: whatever. I'm cool. I think your parts should be illustrated, though, ie. pictures of bondage and lesbians, ha.
More later.
ciao.

I really like the collaboration idea. Thinking visually here for a moment, I can see it sort of like the laying of the transcontinental rail -- your stuff starting on the right, hanging on the wall moving toward the left; mine coming from the opposite direction, also moving towards the center... The center piece (the golden spike, if you will) could be the piece that we collaborated on. Anyway. Just thinkin' out loud here. Separately, you know, of course, that I'm still gonna kick your ass at WarHammer, ha.

Two of the Members of The Society For Freedom Enforced By Massive Destructive Power - Building Orbital Particle Weapon Platforms today for a free tomorrow- (Soon to be a PBS sponsor) are preparing to bring to you the full wrath of their artist vision.Okay maybe not "wrath". But it is going to be intense with all sorts of deeply philosophical themes, and stuff like that.
And naked chicks.

This has the potential to bevery cool. The projects you described sounds very interesting. I am curious to seehow they translate to visual images.
Most of the stuff I have been sketching is based on the general feelingI get living where I do. It is work inspired by the relaxed feeling Iget at home and the joys of living in the country. Nothing to heady -just color and life.
Forced porn? Hmmm. . . I like the sound of that. [Insert another slut joke here]
I agree about not necessarily showing in a gallery. I think it might becool to actually shoot for maybe more than one show. One close to youand one up by me. Up here there are plenty of restaurants and cafesthat are always looking for art, plus there are lots of small galleries around here as well. Let them know we have stuff to show. If theygive us BS we walk.
Just a thought - any interest in collaborating on a piece or two. We would each have say 9 months to work on a piece. We then trade ourpieces and then have until the show to work on a separate piece,inspired by/based on/whatever the piece the other one did.
Just a thought.
Enjoy your sex.

Warhammer and some time in the spring play testing the new game. As for kicking my ass - like I said, no fancy stuff this time, just massive destructive fire power. Gork is going to run up and down on your puny human troops. And my revamped Black Orc General is going to pop open your knights like Popeye and a can of spinach.
I like the idea of the collaborative pieces in the center.
