Why
am I looking at The Site at MANOVERBOARD?
On June 7, 1998 (a Sunday), Editor Andrew Boardman made the decision
to bring to fruition the idea of collecting the unique visions of
artists and writers on one l'il Web site. You may be looking at
this site because he also began, at that time, fortunately or not,
sending email notices to a highly select group of art adventurers
and other countryfolk. Or, you may be looking at the site because
the name popped up in your head, or on Fierce.com, Pif.com, Yawpmag.com
or any number of other cool, referral sites. We hope that, wherever
you came from, you like what you see. And that maybe you'll tell
others about it?
How
can I contact you?
Easy. Just write to Editor Andrew Boardman at editor@manoverboard.net.
How can I feature my artwork or writings
at MANOVERBOARD?
It's not qite as hard as one might think.
The most effective way to feature your
work is to go through a number of simple
steps that others have followed to have
their work featured at The Site. These
steps are as follows: 1.) Pull together
a small body of work that adequately
and eloquently represents what you do
and what you want to exhibit. 2.) Send
electronic mail to editor@manoverboard.net,
describing the work you do and attach
those images or text that you believe
might feature well on MANOVERBOARD.
3.) Wait for a reply. Editor Andrew Boardman
will do everything within his power to
respond to your email as soon as possible
and no later than 5 business days from
receipt of initial email. 4.) If a positive
decision is reached, the editor will
talk about possible dates for featuring
your work. If a negative decision is
reached, the editor, on the other hand,
will kindly ask that you re-submit at
another time.
You do web design?
Yes. MANOVERBOARD, L.L.C.,
the parent of The Site at MANOVERBOARD, designs, produces, develops,
and maintains Web sites, as well as logos, and other visual collateral
for an array of organizations.
Exactly how much has the world expanded and
how far have we gone overboard?
Difficult
to know but easier to understand. The
Site at MANOVERBOARD represents a very
small number of artists who consider
the land on which we sit unstable but
ready for new tilling. Its aspiration
is to "see the world through new
lenses,"
lenses that have as their frame this
here inexpensive and bold new medium.
We have only gone overboard from the
standpoint of passengers on the artistic
ship of strife; at sea, however, we will
find lifeboats and ready Good Samaritans,
mermaids and mermen, and many waves of
wonder. Also, lots of water.
Is The Site at MANOVERBOARD
free?
Indeed. Only a computer, a monitor and
an Internet connection is necessary
to "go overboard." We
intend to keep it that way until someone
can figure out how to make money on the
Internet. If you would like to donate
to The Site at MANOVERBOARD, please
make a donation through Amazon's Honor
System by clicking on the link called
Donate. All money donated will be used
to expand the site and feature more artists.
Additionally, if you like, we would gladly
feature your name on the Site as a donor.
How
can I get on the MANOVERBOARD
electronic mailling list?
This one's easy: just go to the MANOVERBOARD home
page and put your email address in the
box and hit the button that says "Send." That's
it. You'll get monthly emails from
us.
Privacy
policy?
We will not, under any circumstances sell, give away, share, over-utilize
or otherwise monetize your email address. Never.
Ever. Ever.
We
hope you enjoy The
Site at MANOVERBOARD.
