guess who got laid off!!!!
i did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
well i mean this isn’t a great thing honestly because i do like having money and being able to pay for such incredible things as Rent and Food but given i got laid off that means i’m eligible for EI which means that i’m gonna be fine. it also means that i have an insane amount of free time right now, at least until the next semester of school starts (which i’ll be doing full time for), and i’ve been using said free time very constructively. made another print (to be scanned), finished a painting (to be photographed), and am currently getting my stuff together for expozine. amazing what you can get done when you don’t have to be doing something you don’t like four days out of the week.
what else! i don’t know! i’m looking into getting the three king gizzard zines risographed, which is proving to be a more difficult/expensive proposal than initially thought. i really, really want to get these babies brought into the physical world and i know that risographing is the best bet… so i’m gonna keep scrounging around for someone with a risograph machine and free time. worst case scenario i shell out mega money for them, but more likely i’ll just have to wait until later this year/early next year for the people i know with risographers to not be completely swamped with projects. i'm also kind of interested at this point in getting a risographer of my own at some point in the future, but that is a huge fucken amount of scratch for something that i’m not sure i can do money-earning shit with. not that i have to do money-earning shit with it, to be fair, but it’s like… you gotta get return on investment unless i can write a fucken grant and get the government of canada to fund my obsession with Making Shit.
i’m going to keep working on the ideas i’ve been throwing around for the last bit, so please expect more paintings and zines to get deposited on here soon. thank you so much for your patience in the meantime while i continue getting things sorted out. see you soon!
