Checking my vtraveled blog to keep track of my inspiring journey.

As part of my freelance career, I’m passionate about passing on knowledge about the digital age and how internet can enhance and help with small and medium business in terms of connecting with a wider and larger audience group. As a project coordinator for the Talking Shop Project, myself and a colleague Carl Plant from bITjAM have set up and run a series of FREE workshop sessions called Creative Learning Network focusing on helping people use digital tools to network, trade, learn and develop their work. And we aim at helping participants to:

• Build awareness of digital tools and networks
• Connect to markets and audiences
• Build cooperation amongst creatives and the wider communities

These series of workshops are ideal for community leaders and business start-ups as well as established organisations who are willing to learn and expend knowledge of how the digital tools and online social networks could work for their business or organisations. Please feel free to check out all the information on the Creative Learning Network’s website.

Moji is character and Mojizu.com is the online community for artists and their characters.

Mojizu is for the people who create characters and people who just love them, from experienced artists to casual doodlers. If you draw characters for a living – it’s a place to showcase them and expose your talent to a wide audience around the world. If you draw characters as a hobby, it’s a place to improve your skills and get feedback from a large community of character lovers.
