CDs

THE CD-ROM is an exact mirror of the website--I burn them to order, so I guarantee it's up-to-date: all 3600 web pages and indexes, all 4400 illustrations, all 150,000 links. It works just like the site--only faster. If you want, copy the whole CD to your hard drive and it'll really zoom.
COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with Open Source, Mac OS 9 or newer, and Windows 98 or newer. On even older systems, many thumbnails don't appear, though everything else works.
THE WAIT: I burn and fill orders within a week of getting them. Since you get my current working copy of the site, it's more up-to-date than the Web version, which I only update every month or so.
PRICE: $10-25, sliding scale. If you work, send me about an hour's pay. If you don't work or have really low pay, send the minimum. You don't have to prove anything, I trust you. Sliding scales seem unfamiliar to many people, but they're a local custom here in San Francisco, in the arts community. If it seems too weird for you, by all means pay $25; you'll be subsidizing some low-income dreamers and artists.
TO ORDER: Send order and $10-$25, to Chris Wayan, 242 Prentiss St, San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
Sorry, I don't have PayPal set up right now. Just lazy.

MEET THE KRELKINS

I'm in a band called the Krelkins--Nic Griffin on drums, Mike Marrelli on guitars and bass, Andrew Page on keyboard & guitar, Chris Wayan on keyboards; all sing. We compose all our own songs, many of them from dreams. We aim to be the next Beatles. (Of course I'm also painting dream-art, working as the handyman for our co-operative house, trying to print out the last pages of a graphic novel (Dreamtales), and tapping out code every night for these !#$*!! webpages too...) The equipment's there, the music's written, the songs are (mostly) arranged, the band is recording (eight good tracks now--Jan 2012) but everything takes time. Daily do I offer up prayers to my savage deity: "Great Goddess, let this be the last take!" And lo, it isn't.

Tentative songlist for Meet the Krelkins:

A Tour of your Brain
The Busy Ness Man
Coyote Sent Me Cash!
Dawn's Dream
Do What You Love and the Money Won't Follow
Engendering Dysphoria
Gaia's Song
God
Hold On, Harry!
I Wanna Be
Memory Pie
Pink Ears
Saboteur
Sharky Love
Tidal Wave of Yuppies

Boldfaced songs are dream-inspired; several tell dreams directly.

I'm listing this CD prematurely because I want people to nag us so we'll finish sooner! Come on! Nag! Nag! Nag!

You can nag better than THAT.

Other unrecorded dream-songs are on the site as lyric-and-chord sheets, like Anarchy Fair; others are like The Busy Ness Man, presented as prose. We're working that one up as a sort of five-minute micro-opera in six voices (yeah, there are only three of us, but we're all schizoid, so that works out neatly.)

Hey, if you've recorded a CD, and have hard-won advice (sound studio versus do it yourself?), we'd love to hear your experiences:

ART

Canon color prints, around 8 x 11 inches (20 x 30 cm) are available for many images in the Dream Bank. They cost $10.
Larger prints are quite feasible--ask me.
I don't generally do commissions, I'm too busy these days, but yes, I'll strip the words off a picture or otherwise customize it if you ask sweetly. Or send me something very funny, or sexy, or magical...

Wayan's Print Gallery shows the prints I have on hand. Many other images in the Dreambank can be made into prints, so ask me if it's not in the Print Gallery.

Dreamtales 2: WING IT!:

1996, pencil, 12 pages, $3.
Dreamtales 1: A SPHINX'S SKETCHBOOK:
An artistic sphinx plays tourist in San Francisco, draws the natives, and falls in love... A tribute to Gauguin's journal of Tahiti.

BOOKLETS
Books of dream-comics and illustrated dream stories, ALL COLOR, trade paperback size (about 5x8"). Many of these dreams can be found scattered through the website, but if you're teaching a class on dreams and want ref materials, or if you just plain prefer print...

CAUTION! These are uncensored dream stories for mature readers. Your brain may fry, your mom may turn purple, your government may fall. Cultural and legal codes are a chaotic patchwork, so I can't predict local reactions to this stuff.

What's "mature" mean? If you can handle the website, the books are similar: some sexy scenes, rather casual nudity and swearing, green feminist queer politics, and cheerful pagan blasphemy.
