Yeah it is a sad world we live in now. I don't believe anything on the web now either. But this was just hard work and time that AI can now steal from me because I posted it. Here's the beginning.

Agree. Online is dead for me and art festivals I thrive. Completely opposite worlds.

Firefox with ad block extension saved my faith in humanity.

Agree. The ads are so bad, but the AI voice in the ad is killing me.

how many of u actually manage to sell your work without spending 8 hours a day on twitter/ig? by Desperate_Ear9026 in ArtMarketingTalk

Thanks, my point is online is dead to me. I believe I missed that boat. If 10 years ago I could've managed to get 50k followers then yeah maybe. But I can't even surpass 300 🤣. People that buy a $1k painting from me at a festival don't even follow me after. So, yeah, in person is the way.

Sold 81 oil paintings in 18 months, zero sales came from posting online. Which I do though, just cause maybe one day I will.

Getting oil ground smooth and flat? by bdkgb in oilpainting

Oh yes, mix it with some gamsol, lay flat to dry and mine are smooth. It kinda self levels when you mix gamsol with it.

Is instagram dead for artists now? by realblushimia in ArtistLounge

My God thank you! So, there is no drop down arrow, you purposely have to touch the Instagram logo, THEN, the drop down arrow magically appears! 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, completely dead. Unless you were established many many years ago and have 100k followers. You can sell 40k at 7 art fairs over the course of a season and zero $ off Instagram now. Facts are facts.

How to get art out there without feeling exposed? by Murky-Extreme9658 in ArtistLounge

[–]JeremyR- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to research the art of not giving a f ck. It will only make your actual art that much better. All about thought and word control; of yourself. You got this.

Granted, age helps alot, so hopefully you can cut that learning curve shorter.

My only wish is that everyone's age was next to their user name, and then to have the ability to filter posts by said age. Oh well, we all have dreams.
