Update #2: A jump to the recommendations queue, and a new blog post
Posted on September 1, 2009
My project has made the “recommended” page at Kickstarter! Needless to say, I’m incredibly happy about this, not only because it will generate more traffic for the proposal, but also because it will introduce a lot more people to Richard Shaver.
At the moment, I am working on several posts for my Shaver Mystery blog that will present a basic primer of the convoluted Shaver mythos. New entries will go up every day or so over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, there is a fresh post describing some of the topics that will be covered. Check it out at shavermystery.wordpress.com.

I am a graduate of the MFA program in Art Criticism and Writing at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City. In Spring 2010, I will teach undergraduate classes at SVA on the essay as a literary and artistic form, and the influence of magic, meditative traditions, and theories of primitivism on modern art. I also have an essay in an upcoming catalog for an exhibition of the works of artist Tobi Kahn at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York, opening in October 2009.
