So it's a little slow today. Please persevere. Threads already up and running include:

* New London comics initiative: We Are Words And Pictures

* The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 09) - Always popular, always weird.

* FREAKANGELS Episode 0066 - still talking about the last

REMAKE/REMODEL Back At My Message Board

Copying/pasting my own mailing-list email due to sheer laziness:



bad signal
ME


For the artists in the audience, I've brought back the
weeklyish REMAKE/REMODEL thread at Whitechapel.
This week's one should be kind of funny. All are welcome
to play.

Everyone else… give it a couple of days and check
the thread to see who's doing what…

Build The Bone Pile Climb It To Hellven

Someone posted this on Whitechapel earlier. I have no idea where it's from, other than that it's obviously supposed to be a capture from a Facebook page. Whoever "Shawna Van Ness" is, she/he is a genius.
