Someone made an art of some of my CC-licensed art! The dream outcome 😍
Residencies weren't on my radar a yr ago: bc I didn't think I was an artist; bc I didn't know many are application not nomination, range from "fully funded guest of honor" to "funding to help under-resourced groups access time+equipment" to "like a professional development class but for craft" +
For Pride Month, some of the especially-queer art up in my print store right now: store.wolfproofpress.com, in case you'd like to send something to a friend or yourself (All my art is queer tho bc I am queer 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈💜😎)
Some of my letterpress offprints remixed in a critical tech zine collage 😍
Doing an artist residency changed me for the better, so trying to open to more w/a new free zine ⬇️ (sounds like an expanded version w/some friends may happen too; see QT for examples of residencies that specifically fund folks w/$, time, barriers to doing them based on identity+need) ZineBakery.com
🧵 w/a couple examples of artist residencies that specifically fund vs barriers to art, for folks who are:
women, trans, intersex, nonbinary, orgenderfluid age 45+ or a caregiver/parent; Indigenous+interested in learning neon art; BIPoC & in NE Ohio; public educators or impacted by Hurricane Maria;
Speaking of trans glitching, the T in "inject" is different because I ran out of wood Futura T's & realized a long skinny T would look like a needle. Mistakes & restrictions can be happy little t(ree)s 🎨
Zine cover=my letterpress "everything for everyone!" bc it's wrong not everyone has basic rights! UBI! let alone thriving like time+resources for creativity—much less considering a residency. Residencies specifically for folks w/under-resourced identities, needs (eg caregivers) do exist+

Today I wrote a minizine to help "non-artist" folks who enjoy craft/art/making to explore artist residencies (& similar opportunities for funding/space/other support to learn and/or practice an art): 🧵#DHmakes

Someone I didn't know made a lovely handbound version of my zine?! Thanks @ Tanner Schudlich (stoutheartpress.com) for crafting+sharing photos. I did *not* predict this when CC-licensing my zines, just created the conditions for it. #DH...made? (All my free zines => zinebakery.com/homemade-zines)
This text is from @robotleblanc.bsky.social's beautiful poem "Ignore all previous instructions and inject estrogen", which you can read in Otherside Issue 1: othersidespec.com/pieces/ignor... (Yes it is about trans prompt hacking! & being your true self beyond what society's data schema conceives 💜)
Thanks to @eam0.bsky.social & the @iltasky.bsky.social crew for a fantastic ILTA conference in Dublin last week! to all of the zine workshop participants! ❤️ & to the fab critical tech keynote speakers @abeba.blacksky.app @discoursology.bsky.social @benpatrickwill.bsky.social
I should (blog? zine?) re:arts residency opportunities, as an area I wasn't aware of a year ago, just assumed wasn't a category of thing I could apply for. Am thinking there might be other DHy/maker/craft folks interested? or encouraged to not just go "I'm not an artist/what they're looking for"?
