If you haven't givin' it a look yet, much of my art production is processed into the digital domain at the <a href="http://bunnyheadsquad.wordpress.com/">BUNNYHEADSQUAD</a> blog. Photographs, collages, sound works, paintings, drawings, poetry, and all that riggumroll gets the happy-hoopla treatment in that venue. Do swing by and give it a look-see!…<br></br><br></br><p style="text-align: left;"><img alt="" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/73084928?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="524"></img></p>

<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><br/></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">I, the Supreme Bunny Warlord, am writing to propose a collaborative art project that will not only be great fun for everyone involved, but will help promote the production and distribution of artistic works and build a stronger artistic community. The 13th Dimension Box Project is a collaborative multimedia endeavor in which each of the participants contributes 13 copies of some art “object” to the project, which will then be distributed to the other participating contributors. There will be ten participant “slots” per trading round, with each slot being filled by either an individual artist or by a collective group, as in a rock band or performance troop.</span></div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><br/></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Each contributing individual (or group) will receive in return for contributing, a box full materials, one copy of each of the items contributed by the other participants. One copy of each "issue" will also be sealed and archived, and the other two copies will be sent to select art museums, galleries, and other artistic forums for their consideration and entertainment.</span></div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><br/></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Objects that can be contributed include poetry; memoirs; stories; zines; photography; b&w or color photocopies of collages, drawings, paintings; recordings of readings, audio collages, music; cds; records; audio cassettes; video works on dvd or vhs tape; small sculptures; or any other item of artistic value or interest (your own work only, please!!!) As long as the object(s) will fit into a relatively small box, and you send 13 copies of each work, the choice for what you send is up to you. If you choose to send originals (not copies) of your works (collages, sculptures, artist trading cards, toys, etc,) please send them as a numbered series of 13 (1/13, 2/13, etc.)</span></div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><br/></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The primary aims of this project are to build a stronger, more collaborative community of artists; to encourage contributors to explore a wide variety of expressive media of differing styles and voices; and to help allow our own works to reach an audience beyond our most immediate friends, family, and regular collaborators. The act of creation itself (writing, painting, recording, etc) can often be an isolating experience, but collaborative works such as the 13th Dimension Box Project can help promote a sense of participation within a living, artistic community. These types of undertakings can also spark further, unforeseen, collaborative works, thanks to the unique chemistry (perhaps alchemy) that occurs when artistic souls interact.</span></div>

<div>My name is Richard F. Yates (AKA: Captain Greybeard the Internet Pirate Radio Show Host, Supreme Bunny Warlord of the Bunnyheadsquad art scamps, and Elvis Swivel of zine-makin' shakin' bacon unfame) and I live in the Pacific-Northwestern United States. Yes, it's wet here. No we don't go outside much without coats. Yes, we got time to make art.<br/>I first came into contact with mail art through the old FACTSHEET 5 zine catalog, but what brought me into creating postal art of my own was the film HOW TO DRAW A BUNNY. I was fascinated by the person of Ray Johnson and by the idea of shipping these "nothing" artworks to people all over the world.<br/>In 2005 I started <a href="http://themarsproject.blogspot.com/">The M.A.R.S. Project</a> (Mobile Arts Road Show), which received several thousand individual works from several hundred contributors. We had three great community showings (in my backyard) which brought together a ton of people and inspired several weirdos to get their own projects rolling. I was happy.<br/>Then I went to grad school (for English, not art...if that isn't abundantly clear from my creations) and I had to take a break from the postal art world.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Now I'm back!</div>

<div>Sorry,</div>
