39 – SOCIAL MEDIA AS AN ARTIST

Updated on

So Free Art Podcast Episode 39 - Social Media as an Artist, Sharpening Pencils and Lucid Dreaming . Book Review, Momentary, the Art of Ilya Kuvshinov ... with Transgender Artist Sophie Lawson

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.

STORIES ARE EVERYWHERE: IN MOVIES, GAMES, COMICS, IN LIFE ITSELF … AND SOME GREAT STORIES CAN NOT ONLY INSPIRE, BUT TO CHANGE THE WHOLE MAN AND HIS EXISTENCE. “
