Update on my situation, mutual aid post

#ScribesAndMakers Tell us about yourself and your creative work.
I am a profoundly eclectic artist. Went to art school, had a moderately successful art career, burned out, decided to embrace the varied nature of creativity. Now I make digital art, illustrations, design, make spells, do photography, curate shows, do some amateur botany and philosophy, write a strange fantasy series called Ethereal, and whatever else takes my fancy.💜
Oh man, I'm sick!! 30 minutes ago I was about to publish a toot here on Mastodon and suddenly I though: "Hey this could be a nice post for your gopher phlog..." and what started as a 300 or 400 characters Mastodon toot is now 637 words and counting 😅

#WritersCoffeeClub Have you tried creating your own book cover designs?
I design and illustrate everything myself, but I am a bit of a professional. Sort of. More of an artist than an illustrator. I see creative writing as part of the same oeuvre. If that makes sense? It's a bit complicated to display at a museum, but the rigid divide between different creative fields seems entirely artificial to me.

Considering the recent trend toward media monopoly, I hope you won't mind me shamelessly promoting my newsletter, Brief Ecology. It's part #journalism, part #scicomm, part #political education. It's also free to read.
If you're interested in independent, ecologically-oriented writing, maybe check it out:

"3 mos ago 325,000 Serbians took Belgrade (some estimates had many more). That’s 5% of the pop taking on Serbian Pres Vučić's autocracy
If we show up similarly to protest our rubber-chicken #fascist, that's 17MM. How about 15MM of us do this? 𝐅𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍"

I just learned that Dayang Kalangitan actually existed. I have a fictional character named Dayang Kalangitan that I wrote 10 years ago. 😆
I am very happy that the Dutch art card publisher www.artunlimited.com has included some of my works and the haikuart designs of @MarjoleinRotsteeg and me in their program.
All postcards are available either with haiku in English or Dutch or without text (for only € 1 each).
Find them here: https://www.artunlimitedshop.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/index/?&cat=0&dir=desc&is_ajax=1&order=relevance&q=kaspar

Please forgive me for temporarily totally losing my cool. I just learned through the Dutch Haiku Association that my haiku got an honourable mention in the 7th Basho-an International English Competition 2024! Getting such recognition in Japan is one of my ultimate 'WOW'- moments!😄
