Greetings, Consumers!
I’m happy to announce I have secured a new day job!! Now that I’m not working in a manual labour survival job, I’ll have a lot more time and energy to dedicate to my art and writing projects. To that end, I have put together a posting schedule for my various media outlets in the hopes that it will encourage me to keep creating!
Wordeater News!
I’ll be posting articles, interviews, and reviews every other week in Wordeater News! These will be up on SubStack every other Friday! SubStack is a cool new-to-me service where you can subscribe to newsletters from your favourite creators, and the newsletters get sent straight to your email inbox. It’s a lot more efficient than expecting people to check my website a bunch. Eventually there may be a paid option (I imagine I’ll post double then), but for now it is FREE!
Patreon!
I’ll be posting new drawings, tour and tutorial videos, works in progress, etc. every other week on Patreon! Unfortunately it does require a monthly subscription but I’ve set up several price tiers (5, 10, 20, 50, or 1000/mo) with the hopes of fitting anyone’s budget. I’ll probably revisit the subscription setup later as I get more comfortable with the platform. I like the idea of mailing ya’ll some Wordeater Swag as a thank you, but I’m not quite sure how to set that up yet.
Social Medias!
I’ll be posting twice a week on my Instagram and Tumblr pages! Last year when I was the featured artist at Bleeding Heart Art Space, I found I really enjoyed posting based on the day of the week! I’m going to be bringing that more officially to my platforms. On #MyFaceMonday I share a selfie and talk about things I’m thinking about that might show up or have shown up in my practice. On Tuesdays I share installments of #FreyjaConsumesArt, where I show some of my favourite art by other people and talk about what I like about it. I use this series partly as a way to promote other artists and partly to help others learn how to talk about art. On #NewWorkWednesdays I show off some recent or work-in-progress art projects.
In February I will also be relocating from Calgary back to my Edmonton address. I’m looking forward to getting back into the Edmonton art scene!
Lots happening - join me on Instagram tomorrow for New Work Wednesday!
