I've been reading tons of articles online about art business and marketing your art. Yeah, I should really get some actual books on the subject. Until then, I'll read articles online. One of those articles was about how art blogs are pretty pointless. They are filled with your work and some description of the end result. The article went on to say how art blogs are not personal so most people lose interest because they feel no connection to the artist. That was when it hit me that it was all true. All the blogs I like were very personal. My favorite blogs make me feel like I'm friends or want to be friends with the owner. Same for artists that I like. One artist I adore and she is always posting pictures of herself, her studio, random pretty photos on tumblr, and her art supplies. Every photo I see from her give me the feeling like I'm there and that I know her. Even on her artist website she has all her selfies and random photos she takes. Add another goal to my list. * Be more a more personable artist.
Here's a start.
