* Meeting God, Interviews with the BBC and raising money.

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by thedeadartist. Filed under The Dead Artist.


As I mentioned before, Jackson Pollock hogs the only computer we’ve got over here and this means that I don’t get to post very often. But this doesn’t mean up not up to stuff like meeting interesting ghosts and things. So, here are a few things you can expect to see over the next couple of days.

  • I will be meeting God over the weekend, Sunday in fact. She’ll be popping into our garret for a quick chat and has agreed to answer any questions you may have. So put your thinking caps on and post a question in the comments section.
  • The BBC is amazing and managed to get a satellite link to “our side of the fence” and I had a rather nice chat to someone from BBC Radio 5. There will be an update on Monday about this.
  • I will be announcing details of how we intend to sell the painting next week. It’s a little bit complex, but should work and there are things that you can do now to help our cause (if you’ve not been here before we’re trying to raise money for charity and you should maybe read this).I can tell you this much; the Mountain Rescue Painting (based on the model I’ll present next week) is currently valued at $78, which is obviously not enough. You can increase its value by linking to this blog. You can either write a post about The Dead Artist (you may use any of the artwork, videos or texts and posting the painting itself would be just brilliant), or simply put a link in your blog roll. Lot’s of links means lots of cash for Mountain Rescue and that’s the point of what we’re doing. And why I’m dead. Please make the darkness worth while.

So remember, questions for God (and be polite she’s a lady) and links.

P.S. Does anyone have any good press contacts? If you do can you either contact them or send me an email at theotherside [at] brown-mpm [dot] de and I’ll get in touch. Thanks!

UPDATE: We’ve got a cool magazine over here, called “Dead Ringer”, and look who’s hit the cover! (Vincent Van Gogh is really, really jealous about this. Ha!)

    Can I just say, that photo of you on this blog completely cracks me up. In a good way.

    Can’t wait to hear more about the BBC interviewing you…

    No questions for god, I’m not a believer…

    I have a question. What WOULD have happened all those years ago if I hadn’t been so shy and let them touch ?

    Dear Dead Artist-
    I found you through the Servant of Chaos. :)
    Can you ask God the following for me? And you may even have some insight into this yourself, being quite dead and all:
    1. Why do some artists get even MORE famous only AFTER they become dead?
    2. Are the dead artists able to enjoy any of their success in the living world, even though they’re dead?
    3. What happens to those unscrupulous gallery owners (etc.!) who exploit the dead artist and his/her works? Do they get hell on earth as part of karma, or do they have to wait and get it when they die? Is the dead artist they exploited the first one waiting to greet them on the “other side,” or does God have a special welcoming committee just for them?

    I know God is a creative type, so I know she has a big place in her infinite heart for the artists. Thanks, Dead Artist!

    Even though I’m not a believer, I’d really like to know what’s God’s point of view - who’s cooler - planners or designers? And where do PR people come into this? Thanks!

    Say hi to Jimi from me… hope you are well.
