My Creative Statement
By Chuck ‘The Savage Chuck’ Loridans

I gets these ideas, see!
When I gets hit with one of these ideas, I have to decide what to do with it.
It might be a performance piece, or a full out play, written alone, or with my best bud, Donna Moore
It might be a comic book, a short story or a novel.
It might just be something I do in front of my buds after having a couple of beers.
I might start it, then put it on the back burner cause something else established dominance in my head, and would not be denied.
I am proud of the fact that I am doing or have done all the neat things I said I was gonna do when I was a kid.
I love teaching at the Renzi Center, so’s I can help kids do all the things they wanna do, without having to wait to become an adult, which raises the risk of them losing that passion, and not doing it at all.
Or worse, they become an artists as an adult, just so’s they can hang out with other artists at fabulous parties and get laid, cause chicks dig artists.

I like Reading
The Wold Newton Universe
Watching Movies
Playing with the Playstation 2
And complaining about how the arts are being run by business types who are clueless.

My mother was an ape…
I never knew who my father was.

That’s My Statement!

A Review of Final Menacing Glimpses
Art Bollmann

Phil Farmer's Wold Newtonian essays included here are hard-to-find, and
appeared in various fanzines or other publications over the years. It
is certainly a boon to have them collected here in one Wold
Newton-oriented volume.

Almost every contribution from the "post-Farmerian" writers has been
revised -- sometimes significantly -- for this book. These are the
official publication versions. All in all, this is going to be a
400-page book.

MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE: PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER'S WOLD NEWTON
UNIVERSE will come out in November 2005, as planned, with all the
articles listed above included.

Best regards,
