Thank you very much! I'm sure I won't be gone for long though.

Hephaestus is probably my favourite of the Greek gods because despite being less prominent or glamourous than some of his contemporaries, he represents a constant; (a rhythm, if you like) which is paradoxical, considering the group of deities with which he is associated are infamous for their petulant, changeable dispositions. He always seemed to be less egotistical or infantile (which are very human weaknesses) than Zeus, et al; therefore was more 'godlike' in my view.

I like 'Hephaestus Lovenote' very much, particularly the idea at very end:

Quite wonderful.

here's a version of a southern fried SWANS!

I am not entirely too sure about the Morris, it sounds right, but I didn't really pay attention, i spent my energy with the paintings and sculptures.

Forgive me for this, I feel it is improper, but here goes

"Opportunity

Is a feather of
It's form floating

Fateward; catch it
In the crisp lens

Before it blends
Into motion and

A blur, just a turn
Of the wrist

Away, and it becomes
Stillness within a

Multitude of

Notions..."

I think this refers to the photographer influencing the shots. I mean after all it is a human eye and a human hand pressing the buttons to capture the image, so there is a lot of personal perspective involved in taking photos.

nah, i don't know Welpot personally, but i recently mailed everyone linked to from the current Bouville just to let them know we're supporting their activity and want to spread the word, and among the few who replied was Mr Welpot himself who very kindly and flatteringly said that visiting Bouville had inspired him to puit more work into his own site and update more often. result! i thought that was a really nice thing to say.

i would love to get a photographer of his style and talent involved; it would pretty much be a perfect addition, but i would be reluctant to approach him. i imagine he has his own agenda to worry about. still, would it hurt to ask?

bollocks do you improvise this stuff. i won't hear of it! just kidding, i believe you.

Where Else & The Whyfore Pattern is totally a band name.

SWANS? oh lord. i had 2 evenings in NYC ruined by them! (worst thing? marietta? ... i know brother... i'm there with ya!)

Just gorgeous.

Arrg!

Mysterious and tender.

YEAH!

What JohnEsmokE said!

i'm not forgetting it either.

No way!! I am sure anything you wrote down would have been great. Always is!

I missed this one. I love the feeling I get when I read it.
Its like what my love would say if he could express
it in that way. Good, b. really good.

I noticed you are in Africa now. Touring the world, how lucky!

..."for this is not the language of the id..."

no - it's the language of lurv. heh. 'preciate the kudos, as always.

a long-distance romance? oh man, that would kill me. but what a thrill! bittersweet. was it a slow-blooming relationship?

"sweetghost" would look awesome on wall-sized canvases. awesome in the traditional sense. guests would get lost in the textures... i look forward to seeing what you might have in store for Bouville Winter!

hell yeah promote it on the boards. promote away! i should be plugging it all over but i'm useless and need all the assistance i can get. i just don't know where to start... some feedback from your fellow Artists would be interesting. one thing - the site has been a bit glitchy recently and there are some continuity errors, which you may want to warn people about. how does "...crow walks in heaven..." look at your end? it's probly my crappy browser/server here at work but sometimes the gif is really staggered, which spoils the tween effect. ...

How come? I'm all ears, my friend.
