Clearance Notebooks on Amazon

I just ran across a pretty great deal on moleskinerie click here.

It is an online notebook seller on amazon, who is clearing out their inventory at 2 dollars per book. I bought a lot of notebooks. They have moleskines, but mostly address books, and city books, they also have 2 other kinds of high end notebooks.

The only problem is if you live outside the US they won't ship to you, ugly Americans, haha.

Fort Thunder, books on Amazon

Kramer's Ergot 5

Kramer's Ergot 6

Ninja

I bought 3 books on amazon just now. Kramer's Ergot 5, Kramer's Ergot 6 (both Kramer's are compilations edited by Sammy Harkham), and Ninja by Brian Chippendale.

I found them by searching for Fort Thunder, a (legendary) group of artists that were based in Providence Rhode Island in an old building that was torn down in 2001. I guess they must have been RISD people. But anyways, they made great posters, and neat cartoons, and I don't really know what else they made. They are Providence's equivalent of the Hairy Who from Chicago.



I have been seeing painting and drawing in NYC that I think may owe a debt to these Fort Thunder folks, and so I bought these books to be able to think about it better. To know what I am looking at better. To see what there is too know.



Plus, maybe, potentially this is the direction things are going.



Living next to NYC is the best when it comes to getting ideas for art making, I had basically slowed to a complete crawl before moving here, and now I work on my painting and drawing for at least some time every night.

I will let you know what the books are like, if they are worth the money, etc...

Working Alot

I have been working alot, which is good, because now I will have money. I will try to think of something creative to stick on here over the weekend.
One thing I recently saw that is interesting and odd, is the website www.secondlife.com Apparently people spend all their waking hours living a virtual life on this page. They buy and sell things with currency from the website, and the currency can be converted to US dollars in the real world like money from a foreign country. Sweden has a virtual embassy, which is bizarre and fascinating.
Secondlife was inspired by a book called Snow Crash, which I have not read but probably will in the next 2 weeks, it is part of the popular cyber-punk genre.
Ok, I am off to bed, I have to work again tomorrow!
