<--PREVIOUS NEWSLETTER

SUBMISSIONS CAN NO LONGER BE EMAILED TO ME BUT MUST USE THE SUBMISSION FORM AT THIS LINK
EXCELLENT SUBMISSION FORM LINK

This submission form was created by Carey Kalimba Ascenzo and is the nicest thing to happen to this newsletter. So please take me off all press email lists as email submissions will no longer be accepted and will automatically be deleted. This form will actually help you to organize your content for a better fit in the newsletter. It also includes handy links to free sites that will resize your images for those of you who tell me that you don't know how to use that tool in photoshop. The form will automatically reject overlarge images or text descriptions over 1500 words so it will also force you to edit your text which is a good thing because if I have to edit it, I am just going to indiscriminately lop off paragraphs at the end and that may not be what you want. It might cut off important info and plot revealings.

This form will also send images to a folder for the newsletter and I probably won't get to this folder till the Monday morning of each newsletter and this won't leave time to reply asking for missing info etc so please be sure to take a few minutes to look over your submission. But here's another fab thing, this form actually gives you a preview of the info you have submitted. And then you get a magical confirmation email to let you know that your submission has been received. So, if you don't immediately get a confirmation, you will know to resubmit. It is a beautiful thing indeed. I am in love with it. I wish I could wear it. You know how sometimes you can see a pair of jeans at the Salvation Army and you *just know* that they are the right ones and you don't even have to try them on? This is like that. Although I have tried it on a few times and I finally had to ask me to please stop submitting faux content and let me get back to my work. Sometimes I think I stalk me and it makes me nervous a bit.

And here is a beautifully-written article at the Galerie St. Etienne website about *insider* vs. *outsider* art. Somehow the Three Ring Circus of the Supernova 1987A makes me think of the Three Ring Circus of the world of artists, collectors/curators and viewers and the costumes and adornments of higher degrees or autodidactic expression. It makes some beautiful points.

Image: THREE-RING CIRCUS

This Hubble Space Telescope image, taken February 22 shows the full system of three rings of glowing gas surrounding supernova 1987A. Located in a small galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud, the supernova is a massive star that exploded in about 165,000 BC, but its light didn't arrive here until February 1987.
I get living in a cloud. I don't know how to tell if mine is Magellanic though.
