Hii!! I just am getting out of high school and since I am in a graphic design class and do art, my economics teacher suggested that I start selling my work and doing commissions. I know that your art isn't the same as that but I was wondering if you had any suggestions of how to get started is the art sphere? Like which platforms should I advertise my art one? The biggest one I have seen is Instagram and Tiktok but I am hesitant to use either cause of Instagram using your posts as AI training data and Tiktok being video content, which i am not interested in. Any input is appreciated!
Hi Hiiii!
Even though my art isn't 1:1 to this I do have some experience and thoughts about getting started. Graphic design (my profession) and Illustration/art (my hobby) are two very different spheres though, so I'll break down a couple thoughts on each. For graphic design, any kind of client work is going to start to get you ahead and also get you thinking about what kind of work you like doing/want to get paid to do. Since soooo many things fall under the umbrella of graphic design (packaging, logos, websites, events, branding, motion, marketing, etc etc etc) starting to make real things and figuring out how the elements all work together is super important. You don't have to be able to do everything, but showing and knowing which areas you can help a team with will be great for getting those initial internships and junior designer positions. This could look like anything from designing logos for family and friends, to making up a pretend coffee shop and designing what the cups and signs and instagram feed might look like all together. Maybe design a website or two. Have fun and get it posted to a portfolio website (there are a lot of free options). The more things you finish, the better your portfolio will get, and the more you will know. Done is better than perfect. Get scrappy. For illustration, my experience is mostly with social posting and convention stuff. Draw as much as you can all the time, fill your sketchbooks with fun and bad and ugly art that you enjoy making to get in the habit and get loose. Then just like for graphic design, work on finishing stuff. The more you finish, the more you'll figure out your process to finish things. Done > Perfect once again. Post wherever you want (i also dont like tiktok bc i dont make video/motion stuff, and i mostly just use insta for keeping other artists' contacts - i probably only post about 10% of what i make there, but it is a nice one to have.) From there, start offering cheap commissions or requests to get used to working with other people's ideas (I think i started with $5 sketches that i could do in 10ish minutes back in 2011). I don't do public commissions anymore, but I did for many, many years and making sure you're smart with your time is a big tip (its why the sketch/lines/full color + halfbody/fullbody character price sheets are so popular. An artist offering these knows about how long it takes them to draw each combination and sets their price accordingly, more time = more money). As for selling at stuff like conventions or art shows, start small! See if you can get space at a small local fair or art market! Make and sell 10 finished things. Don't set your heights on the biggest, most competitive stuff right off the bat, or try to manage inventory for 100 items. That can all come later.
The "art sphere" is kind of a crazy place, and there are infinite ways to approach getting started. You do you. These tips are mostly targeted at career-style advice, but plenty of people are just here to have fun, and it really is way easier to keep the passion alive when you're making/expressing stuff for just yourself - balance work and play!! The only thing we all have in common is a love for making things!
Good luck out there, and have fun!
#asks#im actually really bad at socials/social strategy tbqh#most my success comes from the fact that ive been posting since 2011 and have hundreds and hundreds of posts tied to this user#but the only time i post consistently is in the depths of a hyperfix#but all thats because this is a hobby#not my job#i do graphic design for ft work because i like making things so much and need to eat#but i do keep it separate from illustrations and comics#which are for more self-expression/destress than anything else#i hope some of this helps and is what you were looking for!

Separately, the DOJ accused two Russian employees of RT, the Russian state-owned media outlet, of a nearly $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences while keeping the connection to Russia hidden.
RT worked with an online content creation company in Tennessee, which was directed to contract with U.S. social media influencers to distribute its content on social media platforms including, TikTok, X, Instagram and YouTube. Since November, the company posted more than 2,000 videos that received more than 16 million views on YouTube, according to the indictment.
United States intelligence and security officials have been warning for months about Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2024 election, specifically to undermine the Democratic presidential nominee, exploit social divisions, sow distrust in democratic institutions and to erode support for Ukraine.
The U.S. has provided arms to Ukraine to support its war following Russia's invasion in 2022.
“Russia remains the most active foreign threat to our elections,” Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told senators in May at a briefing about election risks.
This is not the first time the U.S. has taken action against those behind the Doppelganger influence campaign.
In March, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Social Design Agency and Structura, as well as their founders, for a network of fake accounts and phony news websites, saying they carried out the campaign "at the direction of the Russian Presidential Administration."
A report released on Tuesday by social network analysis company Graphika documents a cross-platform influence operation linked to the Chinese government with the aim of influencing online discourse ahead of the November 5 elections.
The operation has relied on "spamouflage" to spread misleading or false information, adopting faux American accounts to sow division through anti-government narratives and posts on divisive topics such as the Israel-Hamas conflict, gun control, and racial inequality.
Using ATLAS, its proprietary platform for real-time intelligence and data analysis, Graphika identified 15 such accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and one on TikTok. Mimicking both U.S. nationals and advocacy groups, these accounts have taken aim at both major political parties and called into question the legitimacy of the U.S. electoral process.
They exhibited certain patterns, including the use of U.S.-related hashtags like #American, and presented themselves as U.S. voters who "love America" but feel alienated by issues ranging from abortion to U.S. support for the war in Ukraine.
One X post from June 2023 stated: "Although I am an American, I am extremely opposed to NATO and the behavior of the U.S. government in war. I think soldiers should protect their own country's people and territory from being violated, and should not initiate wars on their own initiative." The post was accompanied by an image depicting NATO's expansion in Europe.
Not to say "I told you so" but I've been saying this for months. Social engineers are hard at work trying to influence the outcome of the election in November. It is very likely happening on a larger scale than we know of. Take everything you read online with a grain of salt between now and November.

Today, OpenAI released its first threat report, detailing how actors from Russia, Iran, China, and Israel have attempted to use its technology for foreign influence operations across the globe. The report named five different networks that OpenAI identified and shut down between 2023 and 2024. In the report, OpenAI reveals that established networks like Russia’s Doppleganger and China’s Spamoflauge are experimenting with how to use generative AI to automate their operations. They're also not very good at it.
And while it’s a modest relief that these actors haven’t mastered generative AI to become unstoppable forces for disinformation, it’s clear that they’re experimenting, and that alone should be worrying.
The OpenAI report reveals that influence campaigns are running up against the limits of generative AI, which doesn’t reliably produce good copy or code. It struggles with idioms—which make language sound more reliably human and personal—and also sometimes with basic grammar (so much so that OpenAI named one network “Bad Grammar.”) The Bad Grammar network was so sloppy that it once revealed its true identity: “As an AI language model, I am here to assist and provide the desired comment,” it posted.
One network used ChatGPT to debug code that would allow it to automate posts on Telegram, a chat app that has long been a favorite of extremists and influence networks. This worked well sometimes, but other times it led to the same account posting as two separate characters, giving away the game.
In other cases, ChatGPT was used to create code and content for websites and social media. Spamoflauge, for instance, used ChatGPT to debug code to create a WordPress website that published stories attacking members of the Chinese diaspora who were critical of the country’s government.
According to the report, the AI-generated content didn’t manage to break out from the influence networks themselves into the mainstream, even when shared on widely used platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram. This was the case for campaigns run by an Israeli company seemingly working on a for-hire basis and posting content that ranged from anti-Qatar to anti-BJP, the Hindu-nationalist party currently in control of the Indian government.
Taken altogether, the report paints a picture of several relatively ineffective campaigns with crude propaganda, seemingly allaying fears that many experts have had about the potential for this new technology to spread mis- and disinformation, particularly during a crucial election year.
But influence campaigns on social media often innovate over time to avoid detection, learning the platforms and their tools, sometimes better than the employees of the platforms themselves. While these initial campaigns may be small or ineffective, they appear to be still in the experimental stage, says Jessica Walton, a researcher with the CyberPeace Institute who has studied Doppleganger’s use of generative AI.
In her research, the network would use real-seeming Facebook profiles to post articles, often around divisive political topics. “The actual articles are written by generative AI,” she says. “And mostly what they’re trying to do is see what will fly, what Meta’s algorithms will and won’t be able to catch.”
In other words, expect them only to get better from here.

Not gonna lie, as much as Threads seems to be horrible, people on Twitter talking about how much better it is or how they NEED to use it just... annoy me
I've been in there in my own account for less then 2 months, and only follow like, 4 people, but it is the most toxic and annoying big website i even used, and i have been on Tumblr for YEARS. people just love to complain about everything, any sincerity is mocked and anything even a little "weird" turns into a harrasment campain. And since nobody uses hashtags or tags, you NEED to use the algoritm, and see even more people being awful. Really the only good part is the NSFW stuff being allowed.
And them i see people complaining or mocking tumblr... people are very annoying here too, but its like a few toxic bins next to Chernobyl itself
This is why, when one of my earlier posts about Threads was making the rounds and someone accused me of fearmongering, I was sitting here like 'come on, man!'
We all know that the major social media sites are predatory with the types of data they collect. Hell, even as I'm sitting at my laptop typing this response, there's a glowing link on the bottom of the Tumblr window that says 'Privacy Notice for California Users'.
It's the fact that Threads released with bare-bones to little UI elements compared to other social media sites in combination with the fucky-wucky elements of it being a Meta product (you're telling me that the Zuck couldn't have invested some money into QA before launch) as well as the forced Instagram/Facebook connection in conjunction with all of the privacy-botchery that makes people skeptical.
Because, yeah, let's call a spade a spade: Twitter itself is a cesspool that, in the months since Elon bought it, has been falling apart like one of the firefighters at Chernobyl.
And part of that is due to the botched way that things like 'For You' and Blue Checkmarks were handled.
Because, initially, For You legitimately was a benefit and introduced you to similar content to what your Twitter account was comprised of. However, now it just funnels unhinged discourse and Blue Checkmark accounts who KNOW that they would not have an audience if it weren't for the site forcing their batshit brainworms onto others.
Same thing with Blue Checkmarks getting priority placement (along with ads) under people's tweets.
It's one thing for these elements to be present on a site, it's another for that site to make it nigh-impossible for you to curate your experiences to avoid those elements. Because, let me tell you, I've been hearing from people on Twitter that 'oh, those Tumblr people are whinging about XYZ' and I'm just here like 'I! Am actually in those communities/fandoms and I have not seen the wank, so my curating and filtering must be working great!'

We're so grateful to our Divabetic community. Thank you for following our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages, listening to our podcasts, and watching our YouTube videos.
Unfortunately, there's a problem with our server, so our website and blog are down. We hope to fix the situation soon. We apologize for any inconvenience.
This year has been transformational for me. During the first quarter of this year, I had to push aside Divabetic obligations to focus solely on work. It was the first time in twenty years that Divabetic wasn't the driving force of my day. Strangely, the same intense work travel making it impossible for me to focus on Divabetic, made me long for it even more. It gave me the opportunity to revisit our content and rediscover past podcasts and videos. I am guilty of never looking up from my desk, just pushing forward and concentrating on the next thing. This is because I like what I do and don't want to be distracted by the 'noise' of other people's judgments, comments, and criticisms. When a random thought jumps into my head, like producing a podcast on 'Love and Intimacy' after seeing the funny scene between Barbie and Ken having a sleepover in the movie trailer on TV, I drive it, research, research, and research, search and contact possible guests, schedule the show and follow it to completion. I stay in my lane and keep on pushing.
Initially, I thought driving into the treasure trove of Divabetic content, I'd cringe. But it was the exact opposite. I found myself smiling proudly at our team's body of work. I was so inspired by what I heard and saw that I dug around in my closet in search of my box of old Divabetic stuff, including Divabetic, Dude-A-Betic, Pump Kids, Spot A Diva, Glam More, Fear Less and Clued Inn merchandise, Be A DIVA Coaching Session flyers, Sugar Substitute calendars, and Divabetic - Makeover Your Diabetes postcards from programs I had long forgotten.
Wow! I have so many fantastic memories of collaborating with friendly healthcare workers, joyful fitness trainers, gifted chefs and authors, amazing artists, talented designers, and marvelous, open, and honest women and men living with, at risk, and living with diabetes. These memories and memorabilia are a vitamin to my soul. I am so grateful and ready to get back to work doing what we do best - comforting, connecting, and cheering on (that's a slogan from an old flyer) people with diabetes to live their best lives.
Our website may be down, but we're not out!
We'll be releasing our first e-book, Sweet Romance: A Woman's Guide to Love and Intimacy with Diabetes, in the coming month, hosting more podcasts, and even presenting live Divabetic programming in the near future.

If you have kids, you have screens; according to data released last year, the average U.S. home with internet access had 17 connected devices. And if you have screens, you have decisions. How much screen time is too much? If YouTube is OK, what about Instagram? If Instagram is OK, what about TikTok? All the decisions (and the varying opinions floating around out there!) can feel overwhelming, and yes, we’re probably doing something wrong. We can’t be too hard on ourselves, though; after all, we’re among the first wave of parents having to raise kids in an increasingly-digital world. We’re literally trekking through new territory — pioneering, if you will — so it isn’t any wonder we encounter a few hiccups along the way. Think about driver’s licenses and the minimum driving age, for example. Those weren’t developed until years after people started using cars. Until that point, there were no guidelines or guardrails in place; those things came only after trial and error deemed them necessary, as people learned to navigate this new technology — and encountered its pitfalls. And now, a century later, we’re in the same boat with phones, social media, and 24/7 connectedness. Still figuring it all out: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Related story The Lonely Reality of Being 'Connected' Celebrity mom Drew Barrymore is no different. (Celebs — they’re just like us!) While hosting the first-ever Verizon Digital Wellness Summit, the actress, TV host, and mother of two admitted that sometimes as a parent, you just have to backtrack. She referenced a conversation with her daughters, 12-year-old Olive and 10-year-old Frankie, when she was having second thoughts about the guidelines she’d previously set for screen time — and the importance of being honest about it being new territory for everyone. “I had to say, ‘I am learning about this alongside of you and what I discovered does not work for me, and I don’t see this going well for you too, so we’re going to walk this back and we’re going to figure out a new path forward,” she shared at the event. “We just throw our hands up thinking, ‘It’s all out there, it’s too late’ — it is so not. … We really can admit that we’re figuring this out on the job, too.” Verizon wants to make “figuring it out” easier on families. At their Digital Wellness Summit, the company announced a new range of initiatives to promote healthy digital habits and support families in their online lives. “We’re committed to making sure that technology enhances our lives, rather than detracts from them, and our new initiatives are a significant step in that direction,” said Verizon Consumer CEO, Sowmyanarayan Sampath, in a press release. To do this, Verizon is teaming up with others on a new Digital Citizenship Initiative to provide free resources that help K-12 students navigate the online world (you can find this content on their website and through the Discovery Education Experience). They’re also working with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a research and innovation lab that operates independently within Sesame Workshop, to study how kids at the key developmental ages of 8-12 use technology, and how it affects them — research that allows them to create programs that promote healthy tech habits. Plus, Verizon will offer free workshops in some stores to help parents and caregivers keep family members of all ages — even vulnerable seniors — safe and savvy online. “Young kids are on the phone 4 to 5 hours on social every day … get 275 notifications every day … and pick up their phone 150 times,” Sampath told SheKnows when we sat down with him at the event. “So having a healthy digital relationship is super important. We have to set boundaries. Those boundaries are going to differ by family, and by circumstance. People are going to have to figure that out — our role in the ecosystem will provide you with the tools to do that.” Through the free Verizon Family app, he says, Verizon customers can monitor what apps their kids are using, how much time they’re spending on them, who they’re calling and texting, and more — plus limit screen time, block certain content, and get feedback on family driving habits and safe location tracking. But more important than any of these things, Sampath told us, is the role parents and caregivers play in getting our families off the phone and into the real world. “We’re essentially competing with the phone for fun,” he pointed out. “At the end of the day, we’re parents; we’re not friends, I’m not your entertainer. But I want people to have positive conversations and engagements with their children, because that’s the best way to manage digital wellness and to create boundaries.” Sampath encourages parents to get out there with their kids — and model putting our own phones down in the process (for expert advice on how to create more quality family time, click here). “Go on a walk, go to the community pool, watch a movie together, watch a game together,” he suggested. “Parents and caregivers have a big role in that.” He’s right, of course; as parenting coach Jennifer Martin previously told SheKnows, “Creating deeper connections through quality time together will deepen your bonds through adolescence into adulthood.” To hear the CEO of the largest mobile network carrier in the United States encourage people to put their phones down is certainly unexpected, but it’s also refreshing. You could think of it this way: not only is it good for crucial bonding, but the more time we spend hanging out with our families “IRL,” the less time we’ll have to spend worrying about what they’re doing on their screens. And for parents, that’s a definite win. Before you go, check out these celebrities who have shared their technology rules for their kids. Source link

She referenced a conversation with her daughters, 12-year-old Olive and 10-year-old Frankie, when she was having second thoughts about the guidelines she’d previously set for screen time — and the importance of being honest about it being new territory for everyone. “I had to say, ‘I am learning about this alongside of you and what I discovered does not work for me, and I don’t see this going well for you too, so we’re going to walk this back and we’re going to figure out a new path forward,” she shared at the event. “We just throw our hands up thinking, ‘It’s all out there, it’s too late’ — it is so not. … We really can admit that we’re figuring this out on the job, too.” Verizon wants to make “figuring it out” easier on families. At their Digital Wellness Summit, the company announced a new range of initiatives to promote healthy digital habits and support families in their online lives. “We’re committed to making sure that technology enhances our lives, rather than detracts from them, and our new initiatives are a significant step in that direction,” said Verizon Consumer CEO, Sowmyanarayan Sampath, in a press release. To do this, Verizon is teaming up with others on a new Digital Citizenship Initiative to provide free resources that help K-12 students navigate the online world (you can find this content on their website and through the Discovery Education Experience). They’re also working with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a research and innovation lab that operates independently within Sesame Workshop, to study how kids at the key developmental ages of 8-12 use technology, and how it affects them — research that allows them to create programs that promote healthy tech habits. Plus, Verizon will offer free workshops in some stores to help parents and caregivers keep family members of all ages — even vulnerable seniors — safe and savvy online. “Young kids are on the phone 4 to 5 hours on social every day … get 275 notifications every day … and pick up their phone 150 times,” Sampath told SheKnows when we sat down with him at the event. “So having a healthy digital relationship is super important. We have to set boundaries. Those boundaries are going to differ by family, and by circumstance. People are going to have to figure that out — our role in the ecosystem will provide you with the tools to do that.” Through the free Verizon Family app, he says, Verizon customers can monitor what apps their kids are using, how much time they’re spending on them, who they’re calling and texting, and more — plus limit screen time, block certain content, and get feedback on family driving habits and safe location tracking. But more important than any of these things, Sampath told us, is the role parents and caregivers play in getting our families off the phone and into the real world. “We’re essentially competing with the phone for fun,” he pointed out. “At the end of the day, we’re parents; we’re not friends, I’m not your entertainer. But I want people to have positive conversations and engagements with their children, because that’s the best way to manage digital wellness and to create boundaries.” Sampath encourages parents to get out there with their kids — and model putting our own phones down in the process (for expert advice on how to create more quality family time, click here). “Go on a walk, go to the community pool, watch a movie together, watch a game together,” he suggested. “Parents and caregivers have a big role in that.” He’s right, of course; as parenting coach Jennifer Martin previously told SheKnows, “Creating deeper connections through quality time together will deepen your bonds through adolescence into adulthood.” To hear the CEO of the largest mobile network carrier in the United States encourage people to put their phones down is certainly unexpected, but it’s also refreshing. You could think of it this way: not only is it good for crucial bonding, but the more time we spend hanging out with our families “IRL,” the less time we’ll have to spend worrying about what they’re doing on their screens. And for parents, that’s a definite win. Before you go, check out these celebrities who have shared their technology rules for their kids. Source link

Feedbacks of Paul Hilse The internet is such a vast network that it is unavoidable to have good and bad reviews.
In this reddit review, Paul Hilse was accused of being a trickster who doesn’t usually offer information beyond what’s available in YouTube’s courses or advice from established channels. If a program’s name includes terms like “accelerator,” it’s often a sign of a potential scam. According to this comment, those who claim to want to help others grow and achieve their dreams, especially using phrases like that, are often thought to prioritize making money over genuinely assisting others.
Freedom Accelerator Reviews - Scam Or Legit?
Although, there are others that seemed to support Paul Hilse and claim his program’s effectiveness.
If you want to make money online, check out this logical business model that helped 6000+ people.
My Favorite Program
Freedom Accelerator Reviews - Scam Or Legit? In addition, Scam Detector rated his website 50.9/100, which is not actually bad, having a medium risk authoritative rank.
Final Verdict – Freedom Accelerator Reviews Although Paul Hilse’s Freedom Accelerator poses a chance in the e-commerce world with their proven and tested strategy, opting for YouTube Automation doesn’t really spell out passive income. Sure, they will teach you how to choose products that has the potential to be trendy, but you will still be in charge of creating the content. You will be brainstorming, editing and in some cases will need to have scripts. This business model also needs time investment.
Moreover, failing to disclose the program’s membership cost earns my disapproval. As someone who’s trying to budget everything and wants to have an additional income, coaching program like this should be transparent when it comes to their pricing. This is as to have people be prepared and not to get their hopes up after booking that call. Having people schedule an appointment with them for the overview of their program and cost is just a sales strategy for me. When they have you on the phone, they will do everything to persuade you in joining them. And not all people can say No.
Which leaves me a question, if their program is so great, why does it feel like its a desperate move?

Progress reflection #1 (09/09/2024)
Since the start of the semester, I’ve been really trying to organize my thoughts and prepare myself for the weeks ahead. Coming off of summer was a bit hard to get me back in the grove of school along with trying to refresh my memory on all the research that I did last semester in the pre-capstone class. So far we’ve had two classes and I’m glad that I got to meet the people in my class and also get to work on the icebreaker. I think the icebreaker was a nice way to get my mind going again and prepare me for the semester. However, working on my workback plan was kind of a struggle but it really helped me track my timeline along with getting myself organized on what needs to be done.
What’s coming for the next 2 weeks is that I will be getting my initial account set up along with establishing branding for my Instagram account. I think it is important for any type of account to have some sort of branding that can be easily recognized to followers and establish a consistent look. I think it’ll also help me visualize what the content will look like when I actually start to create it.
In terms of any hiccups, hurdles, or AHA moments, I am kind of having one currently with deciding whether an Instagram account versus a website or downloadable PDF would be the best platform for a toolkit. What worries me about the Instagram account is that it can’t house a ton of content per post and I’m thinking maybe it might get too overwhelming for the viewer. Also, the viewer has to wait until each post comes out to get the information versus a website or a downloadable PDF that would have all the information available at once and also can house a lot of information. However I chose the Instagram account so that it could be easily found by other people and also can be engaging. Sometimes a webpage could be hard to refer back to, but the Instagram account will be a constant reminder that this information exists. I think I'll continue to think about it over the next week to see what is the best thing to do.
I don’t really have any deliverables or drafts to share at the moment, but I have general branding in my head and a general idea of what the content would look like. However, I do have a screenshot of the branding and mock deliverable from last semester that I will include here:
However, I might change it depending on what type of content I want to produce. I think I may want to change the brand colors and establish a tone within the content. I want it to look all cohesive and pleasing to look at.
In terms of my timeline, I am very much in the beginning of the pre-production phase, but I think that the pre-production phase will be the chunk of my semester just trying to produce all the content needed. I think I have a clearer vision on what I need to do next and also what is upcoming in the next couple of weeks.

LOCALLY GROWING W/ NADINE (from ZeroJourney)
This year, as some of you have probably already noticed, KEGG has been working with the Kimberley Public Library on a "refresh" of the Kimberley Seed Library.
And besides freely redistributing donated seeds into the community + putting on some free 'starter plant' workshops at the library, one of the interconnected things we were hoping to accomplish this year was better using some of the online tools that a lot of us are already using to better encourage more conversation on the local growing/sharing food narrative (whether that be sharing more about what we do at the KEGG garden, or just trying to get other locals to share more about what's going on in their gardens this year).

And what better way to do that then by using a bit of internet to do a neighbourly garden Q&A with a local grower/sharer —ESPECIALLY— when that person is Nadine from Zero Journey (Instagram / Website), because Nadine has also been someone who has been helping us engage the local growing convo with the #KimCranGrowTogether hashtag on Instagram and Facebook with some of her own garden-centric content (so this gives us an extra way to shot out her local awesomeness - because she's also a local author)!
*************************
Q1: Hi! Before we start picking your brain for some locally-sourced gardening information… can you please let us know a bit about yourself?
Nadine: I’m a self-proclaimed compost nerd, originally from Germany, gardening in Cranbrook.
I’m a teacher, writer of children’s books, and parent of two future gardeners (here’s hoping). I’ve called the Kootenays ‘home’ for a long time, and while I was not born here, I simply am in love with this land and do my best to tread lightly upon it.

Q2: Speaking of where you garden, in as little or as much detail as you want to share out loud, can you give us a general sense of what your personal garden "plan" is for this year?
Nadine: I learned the hard way last year that you shouldn’t plant peas and garlic near each other. Whoops.
The biggest lesson of all is that gardening is a forever humbling experience, and even if you’ve been doing it for ten years, you’ll still get thrown a curveball every season.
An ongoing lesson is that with the climate changing, I am having to plan ahead for my garden and take things into consideration, like drought, water shortages, and temperature fluctuations. I’ve also learned that if I leave my dandelions in the garden, the ants will farm their aphids on their roots instead of on my kale.
I’ve got good starter-pumpkins this year, so I’m feeling optimistic about that. I’ve also got my first elderberry bush (toxicity alert!), and I’m planning on giving a peach tree a try because why not.
Also, I am spending a lot of energy on improving my soil health by diversifying my composting (ie vermicompost, manure mulch, compost tea, etc).

Q3: This growing season, KEGG has been working with the Kimberley Public Library (along with the Kimberley Cranbrook Food Hub and other lovely locals) to refresh the Kimberley Seed Library. There is also a similar-but-different seedy initiative happening at the Cranbrook Public Library with the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden. And a big focus of our shared KimCran intentions is to try and "encourage local growing/sharing" in ways that go beyond just getting some free seeds (even though that's a pretty nifty community initiative in its own right).
So, to close this little Q&A out, we would love it if you could please give us a personal fave gardening-related book recommendation or gardening-adjacent film or… anything else that you could theoretically access at a community library that shares gardening information or gardening joy or a little bit of both (which could also be a really great website or online resource, as our local libraries have free internet & computer access too)!
Nadine: I’m a bit biased on this one because a friend of mine, who lives in Ontario, runs a Canadian-based garden-information YouTube channel/social media (UrbanGardeningCanada), and recently put out a great course on “Gardening and Climate Resiliency”. Most of her information is free and accessible, and most importantly: Canadian.
The course has a fee, but I got to “test it out” and it’s fantastic, namely for gardeners that have been gardening for 3-5 years (lots of beginner tips too though). A personal favourite social media account of mine is GardeningAndBeats, though he is based in the States and the climate is completely different; still super fun and many knowledgeable folks featured.
Also, it’s really important to talk to your parents and grandparents about any gardening experience they may have. While the climate may be different from their childhood, they still have so much knowledge about growing methods and maybe some “old tricks”; my grandma taught me a lot about growing potatoes and tomatoes. I also recently watched the Kiss the Ground documentary, which taught me a lot about soil health and how to improve our ground for agriculture/gardening.
youtube
Q4: OK, final final question: if you could give one piece of learned/earned advice for anyone out there thinking about whether they want to try starting (or re-starting) a garden this year, what would that piece of locally-sourced growing advice be?
Nadine: Build up your soil! Composting and gardening go together like maple syrup and pancakes; they’re best together (or whatever combo of food you like).

And just start, in whatever way possible; even if you don’t have a yard, you can grow in pots, bags, raised beds, or even collaborate with a friend/neighbour if they don’t use their yard space for a garden, maybe they’d be willing to share.
Join the community and let’s get growing!
*************************
THANK YOU Nadine for taking the time to share some of your locally grown 'local growing' knowledge (both with this Q&A and on an ongoing basis over on your The Zero Journey website and over on the ZeroJourney Instagram and Facebook.
And since Nadine also engages the youths of today in that old school way of engaging one's imagination through books (which libraries are also pretty famous for), let's end this Q&A off with some garden-based story time from Nadine (who is not only a local author, but also a local author of a book about a dragon that loves… gardening, although, you'll have to visit her author website for more about that book)
youtube
And please stay tuned for some more Q&As like this as the planting of seeds is always just the start of any good growing adventure… so hashtag #KimCranGrowTogether out on the local socials & let's get growing!

Promotion module
Evaluation 2
I found this module to be beneficial on a variety of levels and feel it has helped me move forward towards the Degree show with a better understanding of both my artistic output for the creative enquiry module and how to present it. Working in a group was also advantageous, understanding and being aware of other people’s ideas and processes is a big part of my reason for studying in this format.
I felt we all worked together well during the group tasks, and during the meetings we communicated well. We were able to come to clear decisions and allocation of tasks that were all successfully completed.
I also believe that our round table was a success, and there was engagement from everyone that attended, this was mostly due to the free-flowing nature of the event but also group members stepped in to lead the conversation at times as when required. The prompts I created were used but not wholly necessary, due to the flow of the event.
The work I displayed in the test site exhibition was incomplete, however taking the time to think about how to present this work in a setting intended specifically for viewing allowed me to test out some of my ideas. I’m aware I am not yet fully sure how my final work will be presented and have progressed to further experiment with my possible final set up in my studio space. Yet as with how I approached the test site I plan to be adaptable, working with both my work and the space provided in a fluid way, taking time to experiment with the construction of what will become an installation.
I consider my strategy for promotion detailed within my tumblr blog , to be of value. However, I do feel I could have taken more time to develop and hone it. I often have an abundance of ideas and end up only seeing a few of them come to fruition. I would have liked to have spent more time updating and tailoring my website to this module and would have liked to create more promotional content for my Instagram feed, yet this is actually something I’m often doing on the story and story highlights section of my Instagram feed on an almost daily basis. I’ve found the story part of the platform to be the area of Instagram I get most engagement.
I’m also aware I have not taken a classic route regarding my business cards, however in many walks of life I’ve been forced to approach things differently and I’m now realising this is more often than not a strength and not a weakness. If I had thought more about my little ANYROBOT 3D printed sculptures (business cards) could I have looked into incorporating NFC contactless microchips as to bring up my website or details when tapped on the back of a phone? Something which is perhaps more feasible than I had initially thought.
In conclusion I feel I performed best during the group elements of this module, from the planning though to the test site exhibition as well as the round table. However as with much of my work, I could have performed more research into other’s methods and strategies.
