Thank you, Louise. I found your perspective helpful and encouraging. Especially thinking about the other good and healthy things that we might be missing out on if we choose to stay on social media.
Thank you for this episode, and I think all of these points are worth repeating to myself. It's so hard to believe it with little proof of how no social media works for an artist who has spent their whole artistic life on social media, with no experiences outside of that. But ive seen more and more people, like you, popping up, some who do not engage in social media but perhaps post their art there just to have it there, and still gets plenty of opportunites, or just in general have no presence at all and live happily and perhaps spend that energy tableing at conventions. It wasnt until recently i learned properly how to contact those that handle book and magasine illustration works until recently, through of course, real life networking. It was not something easily found online for those who dont know where to look. It really opened my eyes, all of those things, its still scary because its not in the light like a social media platform, but it is there.
Thanks also to the listener who sent in the voicenote!
