Subscription to Monthy Artwork

Every month a new artwork will be delivered online on a private web page. Expect to be surprised: You'll get everything from computer art, photography and video, to drawing, inventions, essays and special invitations to new publications and live performances. For traditional 2d art samples, visit my Gallery. For subscription delivery, please be sure to send your email with your PayPal purchase, or better yet, register with this site.
This is an experiment, and it's open to discussion. Subscriptions like this are one way to get me to do work that I otherwise can't afford to take the time to do — I need the encouragement, I need a deadline, I need the income. But there are other ways, also. What about micropayments? Here are some links to pages discussing the merits and problems with micropayments.

Micropayments finally find a home online
There are other options. I would love to sell subscriptions with the right for public display, so large monitors hooked up to a computer could run the latest computer algorimic art program. I could sell DVDs and artbooks online through services like lulu.com and blurb.com (coming soon). Jonathan Coulton sells his music online as single or album downloads and is making a living. What's the best thing for you?
