BIP revamp?

Discordian poetry;
that's right, bitches,
this shit doesn't rhyme.
What did you expect?
Plus I'm trolling your mom.                   
Fuck you.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I've actually done no "rewriting" as such thus far, only a few pieces that I edited down to what I considered key points.

Do that with someone else's shit.  I'll fucking decide what my key points are, thank you very fucking much.

Here is a little poem I wrote in a minute when I'm finished with this line:

Discordian poetry;

That part made me

I know roger,  haven't touched any of your work, if i've kept it its kept in its entirety.

There's three new pages, I'm kinda doin them outta order now, 'cause I had the ideas for those pages a few weeks ago, drew them, then didn't get round to showing them till now.

The last two are supposed to be the last two pages, the other one is probably middle-ish end in the grand scheme of things:

          


@ Cainad if he reads this, some of this might be appropriate to your newest intermittens issue, so if you want to steal some of it feel free

This is really cool. I dig your artwork, and I think some of it will fit well into my upcoming Intermittens.

[Cramulus]

those are beautiful

[Roaring Biscuit!]

   thanks cram!

also, I have not forgotten!  and I think I might have to redo the first couple of pages because...  I know what I'm doing!

new title is "wanderings of a faceless man"

and I'm basically using the BIP as a springboard.  So the beginning is my condensed (but not altered where authors do not wish the work to be altered) and illustrated BIP bit.... then its just loads of my shit that was partially inspired by the PD, PD.com, and the BIP, or otherwise brought into focus/enhanced by my experience of this place.

So its like:  this is some stuff I read, then:  this is where it took me.

Yay!  I has concept!

though really its one of those really ace concepts that lets me do whatever the hell i want

EDIT:  yeh, shameless bump   but there should be 2-3 new pages soon.  and some people seemed vaguely interested, so i thought i'd better update before the thread was lost forever*

*does that actually happen?

[Roaring Biscuit!]

proper update! (not shameless bump update)

first is my parable thing from a while back set to the backdrop of a pretty and relevant picture!



second is the finale of a two-three page piece exploring ideas about The Void, subjective reality, and empathy:



comments?  flames?  praise?

those are beautiful!

On the red/blue one, I love the shape in between the circles - is that a fractal flame? I can't read the text in the blue bubble. The text "interpret as you wish" seems a little redundant but maybe it's best to remind people of that.

On the patchwork one, I'd reccommend increasing the white space between the text and the green background. I think I'd like it better without the final line "He had destroyed himself."

[Roaring Biscuit!]

im glad you like, i redid the patchwork one based on your suggestions.

the void one, yes that is a fractal flame (and tis very pretty aint it ).  The text in the blue bubble isn't really important, its just there for background texture, tho it is vaguely related to the subject and i don't mind being infuriatingly ambiguous at times

here is the updated patchwork page





EDIT:

Also, I was wondering about printing out little handmade booklets and sending to those interested for postage price.  I want to get up to about 20-40 pages before I release anything in this manner, and I know there was some rather major arguments about copyright and such before.  In the end, I imagine other peoples work to make up around 1/10 of the overall content.

I want to experiment with what different types of paper I can print onto, plus maybe binding the final copies in a cloth or leather decorated cover.

Basically, what I am asking is, in the even that people actually pay money for these, are the other contributors going to want the penny profits, or can you be assuaged with free pretty things?

[Cramulus]

That looks great!

one final note - you've got the text on the left side of the page, which will work well if that page is on the left side of a spread. If it ends up being a right page, you might want to move the text to the right.

how many more pages are you working on?

that sounds awesome! You have permission to use my bits (the parable of the gong & ego sickness) in any way you want.

I'd recommend against making a profit off these unless you created all of the content. Remember the prophecy: "And I looked, and behold a pale llama: and his name that sat on him was Drama." But selling them for cost of print + postage probably won't ruffle any feathers.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

well, i can't imagine there being much interest beyond discordian-esque communities, and you guys hate paying for stuff

depending on what materials I decide for pretty-making the cost may be slightly above postage/packaging, but I don't really mind losing a bit of money for something like this
