Summer Reading for Vulture Capitalists

 

My collaboration with British artist Michael Leigh has just been launched in the Virtual Field Warp series from Beuyscouts of Amerika

It’s a free download so even the 99% can afford it.

You can get a copy HERE.

It’s Time to Fight Back!

Don’t let the GOP win their war on women.

Join the fight here.

Overlappa & Crappa (mea culpa, kinda)

I’m not sure why the image in the previous post looks so crappy, as it also appears over on Letter Bomb and looks resplendent. But that brings me to the subject of duplication for which I owe readers a rare apology. I’ve been reprinting quite a bit of Beuyscout effluvia here and now realize that FOLLOWERS of both sites may be experiencing déjà voodoo.

Dazzling as the work may be—and it is nothing short of dazzling, yes?—it might lose its resonance due to overexposure and we certainly don’t want that. Thus, I will restrain myself from snatching Scout-spews and reserve Scat for the material for which it is so famous.. The exception being the call for submissions to the collective’s spring project (below). Participation by YOU is important since this,after all, is war.

Light Reading

Back when Scoutmaster Norman Conquest was just a wee Werewolf Scout, his dream was to open a matchbook store devoted to “light reading.” Unfortunately he never achieved his goal because he couldn’t afford the insurance. That, however, did not stop him from producing a small library of Beuyscout matchbooks, some of which appear below. He is currently at work on what surely will be his “pièce de résistance”—a coffee table matchbook.  Stay tuned.

The above may be downloaded for use as a bookmark by pyromantics..

Good Books for All Beuyscouts

We’re pleased to present the first issue of BOOKSCOUT to appear this century. It’s  a quasi-independent “floater” published on behalf of Beuyscouts of Amerika.

Here’s a LINK to pre-order the book.

Happy Paddy’s Day from BOA!

Yepper, girls are Beuyscouts, too.

What did you do in the war?

Artists, writers, photographers—it’s time to march! Details at this LINK.

“Artists Invited” (2/22/2012). Assisted readymade by Norman Conquest

Serendipity to the max.

Today I sent out an electronic Beuyscout mailing, inviting artists to join the long dormant collective to help fight the current GOP assault on women (as well as other nefarious Republican plots). After pushing the Send button I walked out  to the mailbox and retrieved today’s bundle of junk, including the local newspaper. I folded the paper, returned to the house, and tossed the mail on the counter. Glancing at the newspaper I noticed a photo on the front page and  a portion of headline on the flipside revealed by the fold.

Found art!—with a minor assist from yours truly—added word and signature.

Isn’t life grand!

There’s brief history of the collective over on Zoom Street which you’ll find right here.

BTW, every artist reading this is invited to join Beuyscouts of Amerika. It’s free, of course, and you can write me for details at tensixtysixnc@gmail.com   And if you’re not an artist, well, we can always use bodyguards.
