Hi Paul Watson,

I hope you'll excuse two emails from us this August. We don't usually send out two a month, but we've got a lot happening at the moment!

The Book of the Erinyes

We've just launched a brand-new microsite for The Book of the Erinyes. This project - a limited edition handbound artist's book of manipulated photographs accompanied by text written in the style of a late 19th century apocalyptic tome transcribed by an opium addict - is something I've been planning since January.

The Book of the Erinyes website has a journal (read: blog) with RSS feed so you can keep up with the progress of the project.

Recent journal entries include:

• A Movie Trailer for an Artist's Book?
• Putting plans together
• A Busy Few Months Ahead

The Lazarus Corporation on Facebook

If you're a Facebook regular then you really should become a fan of the Lazarus Corporation on Facebook. Signing up as a fan means you can get irregular updates about the various art projects we do sent directly to your Facebook account, which we thought you might find convenient.

The Lazarus Corporation Blog

We're getting deeper into ideas for online arts/music marketing & promotion on the Lazarus Corporation blog.  Here's some quick links to a choice selection of some of the latest articles:

• Microsites for arts projects
• Less Theory, More Practice
• Self-publishing your art books on Lulu
• Using Facebook to promote your artwork
• Open planning my new artwork and freeconomics
• Freeconomics and McFly
• A basic strategy for music in 5 steps

• a summary of freeconomic models
• The future for Publishers
• Underpricing your work is good
• Five MySpace Mistakes for Visual Artists
• resources: selling art online
• How to get 1000 true fans and succeed as an artist in a long tail economy
• Strategies: creating a website for your art, music or writing (part 1)

Discussion Forum

And finally, for what we'll euphemistically call "less structured discussion", there's the Lazarus Corporation Discussion Forum where interesting debate and news of good art, music, books and cinema lives side-by-side with chat, gossip and gobbledygook.

Coming Soon

There's more artwork due soon, progress reports on the Book of the Erinyes, and a whole new spin-off site in the form of a directory of alternative culture links.  We hope to see you there.

Regards,

The Lazarus Corporation
