Look what I got in my inbox today:
Hello Dr. Musgrove,
I’m an editor for Narwhal magazine which is an online literary magazine published out of Vancouver BC. I’d like to use the image I found off of your website to run with a piece entitled “Sentence Types” by one of our authors named Igor Rybak. The piece is a collection of ridiculous types of sentences and I think your drawing would really compliment the piece. Unfortunately we are just starting so we can’t pay you, but we could create an contributor page (I’ll need you to send me a short Bio if you’d like to do this) for you on our site that links back to your website.
Please let me know if this is acceptable.
Thanks,
Ross Merriam
PS I just watched your illustrated poem “bottoms” it was fantastic!
Here’s the image Ross requested:
Here’s where he found it: http://www.theillustratedprofessor.com/?p=64
So of course, I said, ”Yup.” Kinda nice the way this internet blog web thing works.
Here’s a link to the magazine: http://www.narwhalmagazine.com/
And here’s the poem of mine “Bottoms” he mentioned: http://www.theillustratedprofessor.com/?p=1154

Here’s an illustrated poem starring Tex.
Really – An Animated Poem
Monday, August 10th, 2009Monday, August 10, 2009.
Here’s a new poem animated below. This poem was inspired by a session I attended at the 2009 AEPL conference a couple of weeks ago.
This session was led by Burt Bradley and included some of the writing exercises he uses in a course he teaches called “Writing in the Wild.”
My intention was to write a very simple poem. And my drawings (also simple because that’s about where my drawing skills are) are meant to reflect that simplicity. I patched them together with Windows Moviemaker and recorded the poem with Audacity–both free downloads.
Here’s the text of the poem:
Really
Here we are, we’re always outside
The clouds, the sun, and the sky is outside
Inside our houses and cars and our jobs
We’re really outside
Up and down
And left and right
All around
We’re really outside
Once upon we lived under trees
In caves and huts and even tepees
No matter what we hung overhead
We were really outside
Up and down
And left and right
All around
We’re really outside
We’re always really always outside
Our windows and walls and doors are so thin
Even the skyscrapers are really quite small
Compared to outside
Up and down
And left and right
All around
We’re really outside
