This was a project that started over the summer in support of the virtual Maybe Day event on 7/23/20 (http://maybeday.net/).
The idea being to bring together some of the innumerable creative people influenced by the Discordian lives & ideas of Robert Anton Wilson, and establish a mutually beneficial art scene of sorts, and see about using RAW's legacy as the launch pad for new trajectories of thought & language. :fnord: :fnord: :fnord:
The preservation of RAW's ideas, as he expressed them, seems to be on rock solid ground, with the RAW Trust (http://rawtrust.com/) and Hilaritas Press (http://www.hilaritaspress.com/) meticulously and wonderfully producing definitive editions of his books and facilitating new media adaptations. Also, with places like the RAW Illumination Blog (http://www.rawillumination.net/), the RAW Semantics Blog (https://rawsemantics.home.blog/), and 2 RAW Fan Archive sites (US (http://rawilsonfans.org/) & DE (http://rawilsonfans.de/en/)), it's safe to say that RAW's oeuvre is safe and secure.
And with that being that case, I kinda want to do some joy riding, because the neuro-semantic context of the sensory-sensual continuum has changed considerably in recent years, with all signs pointing towards increased acceleration, and so I think some new models, metaphors, and methods might be just the thing.
As a proof of concept, I edited a 77 page digital zine called NEW TRAJECTORIES, with contributions from 23 wonderful RAW exegetes, released on MAYBE DAY 2020.

A promising look of things to come... Maybe!

Yes indeed! Maybe something of a slow burn / long con, but hoping to instigate some fun :fnord:

Thanks much!
Done.
Yeah!
ETA:
Just noticed I "independently" found this "RAW" in someone's work today :fnord:
Much obliged, Dok!
Great find, minuspace!

Any time, Bobby. If you think of anything else, just holler.
heh, I recently shot an e-mail to the folks at Hilaritas Press. Partially to praise them for all the great RAW re-releases, and partially to offer my freelance publishing services, though I'm sure they have it all covered already. Got a really warm thanks. Man, it would be so cool to work on some of these books.
Bobby's probably too humble to link to his own, but check it out - very modestly priced: http://www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-item/raw-art-by-bobby-campbell/
Right on, Cram! Christina & Rasa, who run Hilaritas Press, really are entirely wonderful :fnord:
When we were working out the details on my doing interior art for the Historical Illuminatus books, Christina, who is RAW's daughter, took the page rate I requested and doubled it, because she saw RAW struggle under bad work-for-hire deals, and wanted to make sure that didn't happen to me.
Not quite the usual outcome of dealing with a publisher!
