Two New Newsletters: Something to "Tink" About

Ah, the visions of our own Ave Rose. So many faces, and so many hats she wears.

An example of both a face and a hat worn by Ave Rose. So pensive. So feathery.

Ave Rose began with the IPM family and press. And later she awakened us all to watchbot world. Because this babe is not just books anymore. And so, we will now separate our email lists. But more on that momentarily.

First, something to tink about And no, that is not a typo. You read it right. Ladies and gears, it is time to put your tinking caps on.

Not sure what a tinking cap is, but this dapper capper is $65.

Apart from the e-shelves of Ink Pen Mutations where you can now download your own priceless collection of books for e-cheap, Ave Rose is making her own contributions to the Tinker community.

This steampunk project and web series features the contributions from oodles of crafty kanoodles in the steampunk artisan community. More here.

.

Featured here is "Tinkersphere" one of several items Ave Rose has gifted to Kickstarter contributors.

But back to the books, which after all, is what Ink Pen Mutations is all about.

Take it from this guy and hit up some honeys who have hit up our bookstore.

Our friends at the Lottery Party have thrown some reviews our way, like this one about Aliens in LA which brings to mind more that Ave Rose Art and IPM are more than just the melding of minds, but perhaps an overdue separation of communication lines. Yes, our email list is breaking up! What does this mean? Art on one list. Books on the other.

Want to find out about watchbot world and wearable art?

This example of wearable art comes with a $165 to the Tinker Kickstarter.

Stay on the old list, and suffer the consequences. Loquacious alien elves in weird suits will obliterate you, and your little inbox too. In all seriousness, please be aware that if you are on the original list, you are presently on both lists which is being constructed on a new software. You will not receive dupes. You will just be getting more action.

Want to read about out it all on one blog? You are in the right place.

Two email lists. One bitchin' blog. And now for a gold, kind of weird, alien.

Oh no, what is happening to the old email list? We tried to warn you!

March of the Butterfly Masters into La Luz, Eh Tu, Brutus?

The Ides of March are behind us.

But the rest of March is still here.

Come and join the coming of the spring

Before the butterflies disappear.

La Luz de la Jesus shares a space with Wacko, fun and novelty shop

Once you've been in La Luz, make a day of it in the highly walkable area of Loz Feliz Village. Check out Wacko next door, or head down the street  to the tiki bar. Dance the night away at  El Cid. Tell them about the master of the butterfly masters: Ave Rose

Ave Rose doing a mash up of "blood, sweat and tears" a la "Never let 'em see you sweat."

Still wondering just what in the watchbot a butterfly master is?  Hint  here.

Full story, in the light of la Luz.

What else is on the IPM Frontier? 

Wrap your thinkers around the concept of  

Tinker

a steampunk communal project featuring the steampunk sculptures and wearable art prop contributions of Ave Rose created specifically to for this steampunk miniseries. Get on the kickstarter. Contributions count toward discounted rewards. More to come. 

TINKER aims to expand the boundaries of Steampunk science fiction by transforming it from just an aesthetic to evolving it into a multi-ethnic, culture- exploring, collection of stories that does for Steampunk what Star Trek did for science fiction back in the sixties. This includes: mature themes, exotic locations, sub-plots, drama and action (instead of just action), making the effort to put the 'punk' back into Steampunk by going outside currently established 'rules' of the genre, and fusing the diverse talents of several industries into a new kind of steam-powered animal. Even if you don't actively follow the subculture of Steampunk, there i still something here for you as long as you have an appreciation for: Science Fiction, Action, Martial Arts, Humor, Drama, Intrigue, Alternate History and Music.

Watchbot Time of the Butterflies at Laluzapalooza

Last you heard, the watchbot time machine traveled through time to the walls of the Art of Literature show at the Bleicher/Golightly Gallery at 1431 Ocean Park Avenue. But even with the assistance of a Watchbot Time Machine, nothing lasts forever. That showing will come to an end on Wednesday, March 6, 2013.  Catch it while you can.

But fear not, the magic of the Watchbots is with us still, and returning again soon, quite soon. In fact, this soon:

 Just follow this winged lass, Ave Rose, to La Luz de la Jesus at 4633 Hollywood Blvd.

Featured here, Ave Rose in wings, getting in touch with her butterfly side.

 

For she will bring you more from the watchbots and the butterflies.

Meet Butterfly Master Zona at La Luz de La Jesus

Showing until March 31, 2013

Time Travel to this Saturday, February 16, 2013

Feeling stuck in the present? Are you too future-minded to be thinking about the now? Or maybe the best of life is lost in the memories... don't you just wish you could do it all again?

Well, we and the watchbots feel ya.
Because when it comes to time travel, the time is now. Also then. Plus later on too.
But mostly, this Saturday night at the  Bleicher/Golightly Gallery it will be, and has been, and always continues to be:

The Art Inspired by Literature Group Show

The Bleicher/Golightly Gallery

1431 Ocean Avenue

Santa Monica, CA

Opening Saturday, February 16th

7:30-9:30 p.m.

And what better literary inspiration than

THE TIME MACHINE
 will be brought to you by

Mother Ave Rose

Naughty little Ave Rose Bud. After all, it is Valentine's season.

  H.G. Wells 

The man himself, perhaps pensively staring off in time, or at that picture up above. Yowza.

This little guy is about to get Nascar on a time machine!

What's in the Cards this Week at IPM

Happy New Year everyone, from Ave Rose and the peeps at IPM!

It seems that we all survived the Mayan Calendar, and we survived the holiday season. For a quick recap on the recent turns of the (yule) tides of 2012:

Ave Rose made you a song and video with the help of HRX Records and a whole crew of merry men listed here. And the whole holiday record is still downloadable here.

But enough about that, what about this? EBOOKS! 

Yes, that is right, IPM is getting down on the downloadable format! The eBook library list is growing fast! Here is our eBook list to date: 

 

Fragile Bodies  

 

 

Van Wyck 1: Van Wyck and the Pirates of the Outback Empire 

 

 

Van Wyck 2: Van Wyck and the Surf Monks of Santa Monica 

Van Wyck 3: Van Wyck and the Clan of the Sour Hand

Van Wyck 4: Van Wyck and the LA Buzzsaws

 
 

Van Wyck 5: Van Wyck and the Black Swan

And more, coming soon.

But now that you've received the gift of song, and you've gotten your ebook on, what about Saturday night? Well, this weekend the gift of gab is yours, along with the atwork at this month's installment at the Hive Gallerym beginning Saturday, January 5, 2012, from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m..
