As the year closes out, I'm regretting not more consistently putting my for-sale art out in the world. Walking away from twitter is a big wound in my already limited footprint for selling stuff.
So, hey! I have a lot of original linocut prints, plotter drawings, and watercolor paintings available for sale at reasonable prices on my store. Maybe you can close out the year by picking some things up for yourself or someone else, or getting the word out.
@joshmillard One thing that's helped me through this particular social media angst is advice I heard that goes something like:
People underestimate how much work it takes to build an audience, but they overestimate the size of the audience they need to support their creations. — first heard from Josh Spector
Which is to say, you may find deeper and more meaningful connections in this space (albeit probably fewer followers and reach than, say, Twitter). And bonus: you're not fighting the algorithm!
@andrew Drawing made with a pen plotter machine: a CNC-style multi-axis drawing robot!
Specifically I use an AxiDraw machine from Evil Mad Scientist https://www.evilmadscientist.com/ , a contemporary and affordable machine which I love to death, but the history of pen plotters goes back several decades to the liminal period after computers became a presence in industrial and commercial design but before general-purpose hi-def raster printers redefined the image reproduction market.
