39 – SOCIAL MEDIA AS AN ARTIST

This weeks lil episode is another one of those brain dump ones, this time, about Social Media. I have a strange love hate relationship with social media; but talk about the Good and Bad, Curating Content and the Struggles of Focusing.

I give a brief overview of the main types of Social Media as an Artist too, where I feel like

• YouTube is a Social Search Engine
• Twitter a lil brain dump Journal type thing
• Instagram a collection of Finished Artwork
• Facebook is a place for Extroverts, and Twitter more for Introverts
• Pinterest is the best place for Finding and Collecting a bunch of Inspiration
• Tumblr seems like a sort of social Blog thing
• Dribbble seems professional and for people trying to put together an Online Portfolio
• DeviantArt is like a big massive Social Community for Artists
• ArtStation is another professional one, but it feels more like separate sites for each Artist instead of a community

BOOK BOOK 3
Momentary, the Art of Ilya Kuvshinov

Each week I take a look at a book, and this weeks BOOK BOOK is another beautiful lil book called, Momentary, the Art of Ilya Kuvshinov.

If you love Videogame / Anime style female characters, you will adore this book. As I said on the episode, “This book is so tasty looking, I could actually eat it.” :)

The following is a video review I did of the book :)

There’s a bit of Lucid Dreaming at the end too, about how I’m being to see Lucid Dreaming as a Series of Fear Based Tests.

Hope you like this one.
