yo, so WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT
- -scarabin-0
i can't believe an NT regular just fucked off into the void with our project.

nathan...why not just start a new book?!
and just dont send it to that person!

because we shouldn't be making sacrifices for some fucking flake.
and there _was_ another one started because of it, vol. 3.
which also apparently hasn't gone anywhere.

this blows

yes...this has totally gone to hell...i was very excited. i think i would have received the book by this time if people kept to the 2 day rule.
i remember the "it book" that went around the world, it was very successful it had managerial people who kept track of the bookm in each area and they would make sure the book went on its way, if an artist flaked the book was taken away even if they were in the middle of sketches, rules are rules in order to keep the flow constant!!!
i see how its fustrating for you as you already drew your piece into the book, why should someone else keep your art?
who has the book?? has there been a reason for the bbook to not be sent out? is there someone in the area where the book is currently that can go and pick it up since the person who has it flaked???
there is so many ways around this and since so much time has passed maybe questioning every person's motives should be handled to see if they too will flaake and need to be removed from the list so the book doesnt hit anymore slowdowns with people that dont consider their perssonal lives and the lives of the 49 other artists.
i think the reality is that if you offer an escape path you can drain out the ones that wont follow thru among all 3 volumes and really have 1 book with 50 artists who are dedicated!!!!
its almost like NTPE2, i love what i have already and i am not complaining cept forthe fact that everyone did agree to the deadlines, but yet i still dont have soooooo many prints!!!!
if you as an artist acccept resposibility and dont follow thru well you as an artist have now received a strike to your reputation. its simple, i myslef wouldnt want to werk wtih flaky people!!!
thats why there needs to be more structure in handling the send out proceddures of the book keeping it on track with the deadlines!

this is pathetic. why sign up if you are going to hold it for a month?

shelly has it, e-pill
she kept it over two weeks then lied saying that she sent it to meeklo, who still doesn't have it
that was over a week ago, bringing her posession of the book to around a month or something.
i have set in place a system to keep track of it for just this reason, so we can bag on people if they take too long. i emailed her about it but no action was taken, apparently.
unless that shit shows up soon she better stay gone
i say don't even send it to anyone on the list who you don't KNOW will keep it moving. i.e. extreme regulars of nt who show up here everyday.
this may not be fair, but neither is just fucking off somewhere with our book and never being seen again.
especially by the time we get to 20-30 spreads.

where does shelly live?
i remember she said she just went thru some major hardships with her life. is there some one in her area that can go and get the book from her?
i think once that happens, this can get rolling again!

yeah i was wondering why it hasn't gotten out of LA yet.
- -scarabin-0
she lives in los angeles.
i think a better solution would be for her to just fulfill her end of the agreement without me having to go out of my way and freaking drive to her house.
no "family problem" or little illness is going to stop you from taking a few minutes to mail the damn thing.
this is just laziness.
- e-pill0
it doesnt have to be you to go and pick it up...are there other los angeles NT'ers on the list, didnt you already do your piece? let the next one get it!!!
did she already do her sketches and just not send it or did she never start it?

who the fuck knows

I think only giving it to NT regulars is a bad idea as evidenced by shelly (she was a regular, correct?).
If we could do it again, I would say everyone should email the person coordinating it with their name , cite/state/country, and email. At least it's something more than a post in a thread that says "I'm in" from someone who will probably forget about it in a month.
Once everyone is confirmed. An actual list can be made in loose order of geographic location, with dates next to each name giving them maybe 3(?) days to fill their spread and mail it. That way we know who's next.
Of course someone could still flake out, but a little more structure might prevent potential flakiness.
