Running The Flytrap is expensive. There are a lot of technical things we need, like a distribution platform, and grownups, like our tax guy, and it's important to us to pay industry-standard rates to freelancers. So much so that we committed to doing that with the @nwu.org

Freelancer Policies

The Flytrap and National Writers Union have agreed upon freelancer policies for media workers contributing to The Flytrap Media.

For example, moments like this hand or the way the figuration plays with the tension of realism versus the spirit and feeling of the figure are a major part of what make my paintings dance and reflective of my queer nonbinary center

Sometimes art isn't working and you have to examine what went wrong, do a few more tests, and try again. The trick is figuring out when its worth it vs you just being a perfectionist

I didn't have a name for this robin, but I've since taken to calling it 'Bobert' after Sean Hennessy's name for the one who visits his garden. For my part, this was inspired by 'my' robin in Ruskin Park ; 'Donwell', as I call the place, after Mr. Knightley's estate in Jane Austen's Emma.

Detail from the same work as in the quoted post: the bright orange of the robin's 'red' breast is now painted in, and the piece is complete.
