I finally have a new battery in my laptop! It started dying within the first week or two of arriving in Chico & I've had a lot of other things going on settling in & everything. I'll be spending the next few weeks getting a permanent room rental & topping it off with spending my birthday weekend in Mt. Shasta with one of my new Chico friends. There will be photos!
And speaking of, don't think I forgot about working on a travel log & event review for the 2nd annual Maker's Muse Festival as well as a couple other events. I'll also be getting back to work on artist features. For non-local artists I'll be doing article-style interviews & will be doing in-person interviews with local artists & I'm still inviting people to do the same. All it takes is signing up for Substack & adding people as a contributor. I'm also totally cool with people cross-posting features & bios that are out there promoting their own websites & Substacks. I've really been striving for a good variety of people, I just wasn't expecting to mov clear across the country when I rebooted The Anartist Collective in the beginning of the year 😂
Just know that I will be putting work into the collective again soon, my hiatus was extended quite a bit longer than I expected. Just sit tight. There IS more coming in the future!
And check out this mural on Orange St im Chico, CA! I took these from Chico Fab Lab. The mural artist is Lori Escobar
