a) you love the art I create and want to use your cheerleading/creative management skills to encourage me to make more and fly higher/deeper.
b) you follow what I say on twitter with interest, curiousity, amusement and a large dose of forgiving patience.
c) you are reasonably confident that you'll be able to tell the difference between when you need to prod / coax / trick me into taking the next step and when you need to simply hold back and wait for the tempestuous breezes of my creative enthusiasms and/or despairs to roll on by.
If any of that applies to you then please do raise your hand or whisper in my ear and we can have a chat over coffee and cake, or wine and chocolate, or both of the above. My hope is that we'll find a way to work and play together 'in a spirit of mutual ambition' and that you'll get tangible benefits from working with me but that the promise of future ££ will not be the reason you want to embark on this unknown adventure. In the first instance I might be paying you in art / ideas / poetry / stories but that would hopefully be a short-term measure while we find our feet and wait for the music to start happening.
I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who wants to disruptively explore pay-what-you-wish, copyleft and self-publishing as methods of creative expression. If you have any questions then plonk them in the comments box below or give me a holler on twitter and I'll try to give a sensible answer :)

hiya i'd be interested in helping/prodding/collaborating. i'm a digital artist currently working at plymouth uni, doing a bit of teaching and working on projects with i-dat (www.i-dat.org). anyways if i can be of any help (or maybe even the other way round) then just holler :)
Hi Chris, first off let me apologise for leaving you hanging - I so rarely get blog comments that I've stopped checking for them :-}
The work you're doing at i-dat looks pretty damn awesome and I'd love to find out more/collaborate. I have a feeling some of the tech/people I know will be very much up your digital avenue :)
Am I right in thinking that you're @boxelboy on twitter? I'll start following him in any case and see if it's you and then we can trade email addresses and work out how I can wangle a trip to Plymouth to gawp at what you're involved in ;-)
