I recently decided to help out in funding a Kickstarter arts project that was nearing it's failure deadline and close to fully funded.
It took me a long browse to find a project I wanted to support but the one I found was Wardenclyffe Gallery, a project asking for very little money to transfer their community to a new location. It's a community that includes artists, photographers, poets, musicians and theatre groups.
They are giving away some pretty sweet prizes for only low amounts of donations (e.g. $10 for the PDF of art and literature AND a digital music album, all produced by them).
They have only 3 DAYS LEFT to get the last bit of funding, or they get nothing at all. So even if you can't donate yourself, please could you make a journal post and ask your followers if they want to help? I know I don't have many active followers, myself.

UPDATE: Woo they did it, although I don't think a single Deviant was responsible for helping out. That's a little sad, and does not encourage me to be more involved in this community.

Indie music and art blog
Here it is: Indie in Finland
I just did something that I've been meaning to do for a while, and started a blog where I can report on live events I attend. If it kicks off I might be able to get other people to guest blog about events that I couldn't make it to, too, but that's probably hoping for a bit much.
Posting on my sparsely populated DeviantArt page and Twitter feed probably won't get me much interest, and I'll just have to see how much goodwill I can gather from friends willing to spread the word. I think it will be a while before I get any attention outside of that: I'll have to be reporting on a band that someone searches for inf
Second NaNoWriMo Win
I hit the 50,000 word goal on my latest National Novel Writing Month project this morning.
I'm continuing to write, but now I can slow down and do some other things too. I just made a small sketch for the first time in weeks, felt good to release that urge at last!
Soon though I start full-time Finnish classes that will last for six months. I have a feeling the mental drain of speaking and learning a second language all day, every day, will tire me out quite a lot over the next few weeks. Better to get the learning and adjustment out of the way now. Actually, I've been waiting for this course for a year, so I am really happy to get on with
NaNoWriMo preparations
I'm preparing for my second shot at NaNoWriMo this year. This time I have time to prepare, although I did cut that short by changing my mind about what to write only two weeks ago.
I went to a local meet-up yesterday and met three lovely women who will be taking the challenge this year also. I'm told that once the event kicks off there will be 20-30 companions at each meeting.
I'm impatient to start writing, even though I am really busy at the moment and will not have nearly enough groundwork covered before November 1st hits. It's going to be a challenge, this one.
Camp NaNoWriMo WIN!
What can I say? I hit 50k less than an hour ago, so I did it within 30 days.
I'm very happy about it, even though I do no think this novel will be one that I seek publication for. I actually have a few thousand words more to write to wrap it up, and I will send it to some friends to critique (there's plenty for them to critique, if they can stop themselves falling asleep while they read it!).
Next up, I intend to paint a sketch every day of August - in other words 31 small paintings by the end of the month. I will post any work that is original or based on personal photos here. If I don't, you can have a go at me for not keeping my promise.
