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.

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!

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.
