Artist Evangelists
Hope you like my slideshow. These artists have the same effect as evangelists at old-timey country church revivals. All influential to my craft in their own various ways.

Rejections
So far... rejected from DIAGRAM and Handsome. Both great mags. Both let me down very softly, nothing harsh at all.
It's funny, I get depressed and upset for about 5 minutes, then I laugh and quite honestly don't care. Figure I'll wear someone down eventually. These are only the first places I've ever submitted to. Can't expect instant success I reckon.
Oh, and submit to these places; they got back to me in a matter of days (hours, in Handsome's case).

By the way, I'm on twitter.
Follow me:
matthewllondon is my username (or twitter name... whatever it's called).
and, for kicks, you can follow my decade-down-the-road coffee/bike shop I'm going to open in North Carolina (hopefully. fingers crossed):

The Green Room Interview
Hey all you fans! (chuckle)
Just got an email inviting me to be showcased on WCTV's show The Green Room.
The show focuses on talent in Green County, Pa (Southwestern Pa).
Apparently, I'll get 15 minutes where the host interviews me (casually) and then 15 minutes at the end where I can read stuff that I've written.
I hope I can upload a link or a video file of it.
The show will be taped next Wednesday at 5:45 at Waynesburg University. I get a DVD!
Any suggestions on what to read? Thought about starting off with a Schomburg and/or Goar poem. Maybe even Rod Padgett (the namesake of this blog).
We shall see.
