Here’s Neil Gaiman’s commencement address to Philadelphia’s University of the Arts, who awarded him an honorary doctorate. It’s a wonderful talk on being an artist and pursuing a career in the arts.
My favourite part:
“You get work however you get work. But people keep working in a freelance world, and more and more of today’s world is freelance, because the work is good, and they’re easy to get along with, and because they deliver the work on time.
And you don’t have to do all three. Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it’s good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”

In conjunction with the recent Canadian Women Artists History Initiative 2nd Conference I have some work up in the vitrines on the third floor of the Concordia EV building at 1515 St Catherine Ouest (two floors up from the FOFA Gallery). Though the conference is over the mini-exhibition will stay up for a little while longer. It features the works of Dr. Cynthia Hammond, Astrid Lloyd, Sarah Nesbitt, and myself! If you’re in the area, stop to check it out!
