First Sponsored Poem now LIVE!

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

That’s right! The First Sponsor Button (ie, the very top spot on SINMinX.com forever) got received by its winning bidder on Saturday, we hammered out the graphics to use for the button and now a poem’s been chosen.

It’s actually the Project StumbleUpon poem, rude lemon! I’m extremely excited because this is the first bought and paid for poem to go live. If you click the link above you can see the button and if you click that button (based on one of the winning bidder, Rey’s experimental art photographs) then you’ll be able to read the poem! Be sure to stop by his site, as well, it’s worth a read!

 

In case I’ve not yet mentioned it enough, don’t forget that there’s an auction going over at E-bay for ‘The Defiance of Balloons‘ so be sure to take a look see.

PS - If you ever experience any errors, please be sure to let me know. Comments and questions are appreciated too so don’t be shy :)

StumbleUpon Poems

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Today I decided to try an experiment, a new project to keep me engaged in the poetry until such time as more poems begin to sell. I tend to be drawn to random things and I like the idea that I’m not sure what poem I’ll write until I’m faced with a subject (sometimes). That caused me to think of StumbleUpon, a service I enjoy using that lets you "stumble upon" various websites in the categories you choose. You can then either thumbs up or thumbs down the site. It opens many possibilities for me when I’m searching for a muse. My goal now is to amass more newer poems and post them on the site, so enter Project StumbleUpon!

I could wait around with the poems and post them sparingly to try and make them look more precious or whatever, but I’d rather release them as they come. If you notice a flood of new poetry, this is why. Right now this is keeping me plenty fueled and excited about my art.

I’ll be announcing some new things in the coming days, as well. See you then!

PS - I’ll be listing the links of the inspiration source for each poem. Credit where it’s due
