Well, Geekz and Geekfanz– As of tomorrow we will begin uploading our 52nd and final week of TGAP 3.  Can you believe it?  I just wanted to encourage anyone who is at all behind to try to catch up and post that last week’s submission before next Sunday, March 25th.  My hubby and I just [...]

Week 47 Update Tardy, but Done!

Posted: February 21, 2012 in Geekmaster Newz

Howdy, Geekz! Just wanted to apologize for a slightly late update.  I do have an excuse– and it’s one I’m glad to have– because I just FINALLY landed a new job!  Yay!  Of course, it throws my whole schedule into flux, but I can assure you that I will work it all out and get [...]

Hello, All– I have been lax in updating the site these past two weeks, and I wanted to apologize to Geekz and fans alike.  I have now caught up and created a Week 43 category, submissions for which are due this Sunday, January 29th.  I’m sorry if my tardiness confused anyone about what’s due when, [...]

Two things…

Posted: December 19, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

1.  Sorry, everyone:  I somehow managed to forget to create a Week 38 category when I updated last Monday.  There is one now, with “submission pending” posts for all of you to modify, and I even remembered to create Week 39, as well. (Please do not beat me too severely; it was an honest mistake.) [...]

A Geekmaster apology

Posted: November 16, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

I’d like to apologize to you all, wonderful Geekz, for not updating the site this week until today.  Mike finally has some time off from work, so we’ve been enjoying doing as much “nothing” as possible, and I neglected to update ’til just now. I hope I haven’t confused things; just to clarify, we are [...]

…I have added a fun little section to the TGAP site.  Check out the “Procrastination Puzzles” page by clicking the link below:

Howdy, Geekz and Geek-watchers! It’s hard to believe it, but we are over halfway to our goal of a piece of art a week for 52 weeks.  I am so proud of everyone!  Thanks to all the hardworking Geekz, we are proving the TGAP theory: all creativity needs is a deadline. As we begin the [...]

Our sympathies to Betty

Posted: August 23, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

Please be sure to view Betty Jarra’s Week 21 submission, a moving tribute to her very close friend, Stig, who died this past weekend.  This humble Geekmaster’s heart goes out to her as she grieves this loss, as I’m sure all of the Geek’s hearts do.

Just a Bump in the Road

Posted: August 1, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

Hello, all.  You may have noticed that a few of the Geekz have moved from Artistz to Guest Artistz.  At this point in the project– admittedly, partly to make my geekmastering duties a little easier– we have moved anyone who is significantly behind in their weekly submissions to the Guest Artistz category. Take heart, though– [...]

This week, many of the Geekz are marking the passage of a dear friend.  I think it’s only right to extend our deadline this week to Wednesday, to give those of us who are sleep-deprived and hurting a little more time to get those submissions in. I’ll do my regular Geekmasterly “submission pending”s Wednesday night. [...]

Nine weeks in, and we’re still pulling in “new talent”!  Welcome to Sue O’Connor, who is just crazy– and Geeky– enough to jump in midstream and post enough art to catch her up to the rest of us, even though we’re 15% of the way into the year.  (Yes, folks, we’ve made it 15% of [...]

Onward and Upward…

Posted: May 21, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

…or perhaps, as his album title says, “Onward to Yesterday”.       While I am very sad to have to announce that one of our original Geekz, Jim Tyrrell, will no longer be a full-time participant in TGAP 3, I am thrilled to announce that the reason for his departure is the start of his 2011 [...]

To our most recent victim…er, participant. R.A. Matheson brings our number to an even two dozen, and we warmly welcome him aboard this rickety ship of creative madness.  Matheson has submitted not only the six weeks’ submissions necessary to catch him up to the rest of us, but also week seven, making him the first [...]

A TGAP Challenge

Posted: May 1, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

This week, dear Readers, I direct you in particular to the submission of one Brian Weeks, in which “the gauntlet is thrown down”. The gauntlet to which I am referring heralds the first (hopefully of many) TGAP 3 theme challenge. A few Geekz have already graced us with their versions of the TGAP logo; now [...]

     As I type this I am watching just about the fattest phoebe I’ve ever witnessed flicking its tail as it perches on the wire outside my porch window.  I think its presence is a good reminder to enjoy all the life returning to our world as spring takes hold, and now I’ve decided to [...]

The Prodigal Geek

Posted: April 18, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

     The Geekmaster has finally received word from Robert Gauvin that he will indeed be participating as a full-fledged Geek, not a Guest Artist; hence, “Submission Pending” posts have been posted for him for Weeks 1 and 2, which he says he is ready to post.  Let’s be benevolent and give him an extra day [...]

…well, it’s… Creative!      Geek Brian Weeks broke with tradition by giving us a “Week 2.5″ submission– a reworking of his piece from Week 2.  Now, that’s the spirit!  Creativity may indeed need a deadline, but sometimes we also just have to step out of the way and let it do its thing.   Thanks, Brian. [...]

… and all things considered, we’ve done quite well.  We had a few uploading issues, and because of that I’d like to mention here that Rachael Peabody’s submission is not officially late because she had technical difficulties.  Robert Gauvin, too, has a “grace period” because he was a late join.  I’m giving them each an [...]

First Submission is Here!

Posted: April 1, 2011 in Geekmaster Newz

Congratulations to Brian Weeks for being the first to post a submission!  Be sure to check out everyone’s Week 1 submissions after the April 3rd midnight deadline. We’re off and running, folks!

That’s right, folks– only ten days ’til the first submission deadline.  If you’re already a Geek, please check the site to be sure that your name appears as you’d like, that your Bio is correct (ahem… or even there, for those of you who have yet to submit one), etc., etc. and so on.  Remember, [...]
