anyone here happen to be the person(s) who brought either of the two second hand copies of 'architectonic thought forms' that were on amazon? if you are, then damn you, you lucky bastards. i just managed to get enough cash together and then bam, they're gone. lucky, lucky bastards. if anyone happens to have a copy they're willing to unload. i am willing to be overly generous with payment. lucky, lucky bastards.

hashmal, I sometimes do word processing and such for him.

next time I go over his place I will steal a copy for you! I remember where he puts his copy.

...

no, not really. I do sometimes help him out though.

Have you tried abebooks? I sometimes have luck with them though I usually have to pay too much.

ria, you know him? omg, that's so cool. i'm totally jealous. amazon have another used copy available. pretty pricey, i'm gonna try and find the money though. i think it's worth the sacrifice. his artwork is a complete mindfuck, they're like some kind of strange machines working on my brain, i love it.

yes, I do know him.

years ago I discovered he lived in Boston and I dropped in on him.

I did not know him that well until a few months ago when I asked if he needed an assistant which he had in the past. have not had time to do much assisting though enjoy his company and love to exchange ideas with him. funnily, he does like comic books but the old-fashioned kind like Spider-man. will show him some Grant Morrison stuff one day, like when The Filth trade comes out and I get a copy.

well, tell him if he ever wants a holiday he can come and give some lectures down here (new zealand).

ria, do you know if there's any transcripts or recordings of any of his lectures?

Ria

00:01 / 08.04.04

I can ask him if he ever fancies going to New Zealand or if he has any transcripts of lectures or what-have-you.

if I run across any books by him for sale I will PM and if you can afford it I can snap it up for you and have him sign a copy for you.

any other questions you can PM me.

paul knows grant's work... he knows grant, in fact; morrison owns several laffoley paintings.

i have a lot of video of him talking, and am planning on shooting a lot more at some point.

architectonic thought forms is out of print and goes for mad mad money, but the phenomonology of revelation should be available. a lot less images, but still incredible.
