Saturday, June 25 was the opening of the Annual Member’s Exhibition and Open House at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre! I’m showing two new drawings there and I’m excited for folks to see! I was able to volunteer for the opening, where I took some pictures, did some figure drawings, reconnected with the art community and, of course, consumed more art! The exhibition will be available until July 9, so get thee there while thy can!
Things have been busy here at Wordeater HQ!
This month I’ve registered Wordeater Consulting as a sole proprietor-owned writing business! I’ve set up pages on Facebook and Google I’m in the process of securing a city business license, new business cards, registering the GST account, sorting out taxes, and figuring out how to set up subscription services. Anderson Career Training Institute has been instrumental for me in figuring out how to do all this and I’m really excited to start out! The hard launch date for Wordeater Consulting is set for July 1, 2022 - end of the week!
I’ve set up writing packages in the shop and am currently looking for clients, especially in the arts and culture and non-profit industries. Please feel free to recommend me to anyone who might be interested in working with me, even if they don’t have the budget yet!
I’m keeping busy writing newsletter updates on SubStack. Most recently I’ve written about scams, Bluetooth, the new Thor Love and Thunder trailer, and a eulogy for my artistic cousin Jennifer. Last week I attended a conference on digital accessibility and archives, and I’m working on my news update on that today, so look forward to that! I’ve been working on my cosplay for the Thor movie and it is coming along nicely, especially now that I’ve been able to borrow a sewing machine! I’m a little quieter on Patreon, but I’m still working on things to share there. I have a couple more reviews for ARLIS/NA publications in the works, and I’m helping the Exhibitions SIG there launch a new publication called Library Exhibitions Review! I’ll be sure to post an update about that, we’ll be looking for reviewers pretty soon here.
Thanks for tuning in!
