8:07 PM Patrick: you there?
8:09 PM how do you feel about opening up the blog to all of our art, whenever it happens as it happens?
8:10 PM It doesn't even have to be limited to ourselves. We could post things we find interesting.
I feel that this might increase our traffic. Give viewers a reason to keep looking.
I could post once a day for at least a month with my last three months of work.
8:11 PM I like our original idea and we can keep that going as well. It would be an installment feature of the blog.
I want to talk about art and hear what others have to say.
8:12 PM This is my proposal to revamp our site to make that happen.
I'm open to thoughts. I'll be next door in my studio and will check back in five or ten to see if you're on.

8:15 PM me: hey there
i like what you are syaing
8:18 PM about putting all of our endeavors online
8:19 PM i could write alot....however i question my full ability to be able to engage on a daily basis...even once a week would be suffficient i think
8:20 PM if you post once a week then that is 2 new posts perweek
i say lets try it, lets make it more open and see what evolves
8:21 PM it is quite pretentious to think that our creativve lives stop when we are not making art, or not working on a single idea/projecct
8:22 PM and dialog has been one of our topiccs, and this would ccreate more dialog
8:23 PM yyou can arrange topics by ccategory, and that is how we could seperate the different aspects
can you think of any reasons not to do this?
8:24 PM artswivel- the extension of two peoples creative lives 2000 miles away
apart
8:25 PM Patrick: jonathan, im creating when i shit on the pot
i think this will be wonderful
8:26 PM two posts a week - one from each but not limited to that
once we have a bunch of material up we can start grouping into categories
me: yes def not limited
shitting is th ebest place to create/destroy
8:27 PM Patrick: if you want, you could create a category for our current project - artswivel proto - and open the other as free swivel
brb
8:30 PM ok lets go from here
8:31 PM me: how do we want to set up the topics
do we want it to be one or the other or should there be multipleheadings
