The night was good good good, there were non-photographed good projections, impossible-to-photograph good DJing skills, a too-good-to-risk-my-lense-on performance from former bullies, and more zines were added to the table and more people were there in the end. WOO.<br /><br />There are still a fair few copies left so if you act fast you'll get one fast, remember, £10 to jhessiggins@hotmail.co.uk or e-mail me for my address to send a check to, oooor if we are acquainted, we could perhaps hang out for a little while during the exchange.<br /><br />Thanks a trillion peeps<br />Us<br />xxxUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918494511018950686.post-57290211078778882902009-03-27T02:57:00.006+00:002009-03-27T03:21:03.592+00:00IT, FINALLY<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VAoar50MSqM/ScxBn3IBI3I/AAAAAAAABg0/tG0NTKOHKHI/s1600-h/DSC_0142.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Most of the paper is hand cut (with a guillotine or rotary blade & ruler), there was some pretty intense maths and measuring involved, my gcse stunted brain got round it though.<br />Keep in mind inconsistencies, mishaps, ill fit bits, things a bit cut off and other sorts of imperfections, they come with the package. Be certain, however, that if anything is unreadable or a mess, you can send me an angry e-mail and request a fix. We'll sort something out.<br /><br />Otherwise, paypal £10 to jhessiggins@hotmail.co.uk for your very own copy for your very own home or perhaps for a pal or family member, even your school, college or local library maybe?.<br />Any orders this way might have a wait. The first run (of just under twenty copies) are to be sold WHEN THEY ARE LAUNCHED. The second run will come shortly after (promise!), and i guess there'll be spares from the night in which case you'll get your copy pretty soon.<br /><br />All is well,<br />Thanks to LUCY JONES for the beaut of a cover, it really is a sweet treat.<br />and one hundred million other people for concrete help, abstract help, kind words, love, support, pats on the back, those things.<br />OH!

Then he would call them back and start work. Just like his desire for the company of others, that nagging feeling seldom knocks anymore.
<br />
<br />He is thirty-eight, and he worries about his health. Every headache is a belated hangover, each chest pain a testament to the atrocities of having once been an over zealous smoker. He does not miss cigarettes. They are a youthful, not quite so innocent habit, just one of the many perks of being young. Even with a fag clamped between his teeth he had known that one day he would quit. Now he finds solace in writing angst-ridden, should-know-better poetry; tea leaves have replaced tobacco in his life and he relishes each variation on the form in the same way he had once relished each blissful inhalation. </span></span>

They convened weekly and discussed what? The forest didn’t know. But it didn’t like it.<br />They huddled in their cloaks and capes and beads and they mumbled. They did nothing but this. Just huddling and mumbling and occasionally moaning. All the while they dropped pine needles into their small fire, which the forest also didn’t like: it’s children wasted on producing a small crackle and spark. Although recently, due to the rains, this had not been practiced as much.<br />The forest still didn’t like them, and it tried to make this known. It tried to eradicate them. It made the creatures and the goblins show themselves, assuming this would scare the groups, but they didn’t even seem to notice the horrific beasts. They didn’t take a second look. Not even a first one.<br />The forest was agitated. But what could it do? It had done all in its powers. Well, apart from the frightful thing. Should it do the most frightful thing? Surely not. The forest was agitated that it couldn’t make up it’s mind.

Needless to say he was having a hard time. Though Sartre and Camus had tempted him, a certain emptiness within their voices left him searching for more. So, with the sun beating down upon his neck and with sand in his eyes, he told me his search would continue. Since then, he has taken numerous photographs focused on the theme of loneliness, painted Cy Twombly rip-offs, become entranced with the movement of falling leaves and generally spoken too much about rubbish. Beside art, literature, philosophy and sugared pastry, he also enjoys reading Wikipedia too much. One day, he hopes, he will have an article all about him and his amazing adventures.

I look at you and you look the same as you do everyday, I look at me and I look the same as I do everyday. We are growing bored with seeing each others face and clothes every day. We are tired of the feel of each others' hands. I consider this and become afraid. I reach for your hand and you clutch it and there is warmth. We turn a corner and a man in a suit and a hurry walks between us. Momentarily I forget where we are going. I open my mouth to ask and in the same moment I remember. You look and smile and expect, I pretend to sneeze and you take my hand again, you point out something you find interesting. We are there now and I need to sit down a second. We sit on the steps and smoke cigarettes, we are young and think that we think and think that we feel and feel as though we are eighty years old, we are praying FATHER TAKE ME HOME, I HAVE BEEN HERE TOO LONG.</span>

Many creative people who primarily make images will write or have an idea towards writing but think "oh well, i'm not much of a writer" and will not build on their work. Similarly many writers will make images or have an idea towards doing so but think "oh well, i'm not much of an artist" and will not build on their work.<br />THIS IS NOT THE CASE. We believe that all creative output should be valued and we try to encourage young people who are DOING SOMETHING. It is important.<br /><br />Each volume of W.A.Y.A.W.A.T will consist of one piece of art and one piece of literature (or small series of each) from ten people. We have a core group of two artists and two writers who contribute to each volume and act as a collective who are readily available for advice and collaborations. A further three writers and three artists contribute to each volume. These contributors can and should be ANYONE. Anyone who is young and who is trying but does not feel that they can hack it alone.<br /><br />Each contributor has their own "mini-zine" or "part" which are free and readily available. They include information about the artist, their writing, and their piece of art as a poster which advertises the project and invites others to submit.<br />The full volumes of work will be printed real nice and hand made and sold through us, potentially with a CD of music from one musician who has also designed their own cover. We will make a limited amount per volume and sell them through this blog and other places. The profits from these go towards future materials and projects as well as acting as a small fund for core members and past and present contributors to use towards their own artistic ventures.<br /><br />If you want to submit your work as a guest contributor e-mail one piece (or a small series of pieces) of writing and one piece (or a small series of pieces) of art/photography/images to WEAREYOUNG@HOTMAIL.CO.UK with some info about yourself.<br />note; each and every person who submits as a guest contributor will get their work published in a volume, we have no screening process and do not wish to have one.<br />If you are thinking about submitting something but don't feel confident, e-mail your art to<br />JHESSIGGINS@HOTMAIL.CO.UK<br />or your writing to<br />HOWARD.MELNYCZUK@GMAIL.COM<br />we will forward it to the other writer/artist and each of us will reply with help and advice.<br /><br />If you don't want to contribute but want to support the cause, e-mail WEAREYOUNG@HOTMAIL.CO.UK with your address and we will post copies of EACH mini-zine for you to give out around your city or use to spread the word in some way.<br /><br />This blog also acts as a multi-media reporting device in which we will make posts on other peoples projects, music, film, anything which we find amazing. If you do something, or know of someone else who does something, e-mail either of the addresses mentioned in this post with links and explanations.<br /><br />WE HOPE TO BE HEARINGmelnyczukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11747718117742381315noreply@blogger.com2
