Networking

Is it just me or does there seem to be a hell of a lot of places out there to show and share your work and also network with other artists? I'm finding it hard to decide what I would like to keep up with and what I would like to ditch due to time constraints. 

I think most of us are on Facebook, and if you're an artist you have your personal Facebook and also your business Facebook.  Then we have Twitter, Instagram, Linked In, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Pinterest, Bluecanvas, and Behance (I'm sure I'm missing more).  If you're selling work you have Etsy & RedBubble, and DeviantArt has a feature where you can sell your work via a Prints Shop. 

There are ways to avoid having to log into each site and post such as setting them up to post across the board to other sites using some software downloads but then you get hashtags where they don't belong, such as on Facebook. 

I guess ultimately it comes down to using each and finding which you like best. 


Here's another drawing of the day.  A little sketch for stress relief and brainstorming.
