I've a ridiculous amount of often-disappointing (primarily) arts-education (even a MFA *shudder*) -- I've studiously attempted to assist in reforming (antiquated/entrenched) art-teaching institutions. I still have hope. In addition to teaching, consulting, occasional/informal exhibitions and some financial art-support online <http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/buy-into.html>, I often find engaging employment and sustainable income with printing/publishing industries (electronic prepress) and new media. > 2.

I'd have to say it's the open, accessible sense of encompassing/shifting continuity... which is why I previously mentioned microtonal music as a possible corollary. But see <http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/12hr-isbn-jpeg.html> for a fuller description/response. > 3. Do you feel your work is in any way related to mail art? ...

Where else but online would our objections be heard and 'alternatives' embraced? We love art/artists and will not lazily/silently see them abused/thwarted. > These are the first ones. let me know if you have any trouble at all > with them. hope we make something good.
