fruityfantastica

I didn’t want to say anything until I felt like these things had roots, but I have two new seedling projects: f ruityfantastica the third (with a real domain! at last!) and thingadingaday.

The new incarnation of fruityfantastica is meant to be a place for those of us who need a little steadying as we figure out how to do that one thing that gives us deep joy every day, whatever it is. I’m hoping that eventually it will be bigger than the sum of its current parts (cheap domain registration, free Blogger blog, unremarkable design, me) but the only way to do that is to make a place where other people want to camp out, too. This is, I think, what is called ‘building community’?

Well, it’s an experiment anyhow. Please make yourself at home. Beer’s in the cooler.

Thingadingaday is a sketchblog where I try to do a thing a day. It’s looks like it’s going all over the place, and I am okay with that. You’ll be relieved to know that there are no comments enabled there.

I’m going to keep this little place for the occasional thing that doesn’t fit anywhere else.

You’re good people. Thanks for sticking it out with me.

Hi, I'm René. First I was an artist. Then I became a mom. Then, as it turned out, I was an autism mom. Now I'm an artist again.

(I'm still a mom.)

This is a place to figure it all out. Or maybe not 'figure it all out' so much as 'sit back and watch the cage match'.

Fruityfantastica* can be roughly divided into two categories: marvellous stuff of all kinds done by other people, and my own work.

If you want to see other people's stuff, you can go here: other people are wonderful.
My studio work, bits of writing & other oddments are here: I made this.
To cut out the nonsense and go straight to the studio, use this shortcut: studio work.

I'm also a contributor at the Hedge Society. What is a Hedge Society, you ask? It's a group of friends paying attention to things that are hopeful, beautiful, silly, tasty, helpful, interesting, infuriating, ordinary, and sometimes y.

We can get acquainted on Twitter.
You can subscribe to my RSS feed. But only if you want to.

*Fruity Fantastica was my Tetris high score name. I was a pretty good Tetris player, and if you think that's bluster just go ahead and ask Meaty Magnifico about it. Later, Fruityfantastica became a code word for my potential to be something better than I was. Now it's a hairshirt I wear online to remind myself that I am also ridiculous.
