Hope you meander your way through the holidays and have a very happy time! And may the new year be even better than this year at its best. (And there were ‘best’ times!) Nancy Campbell
Thank you, Nancy. Same to you! 🙂 <3
I’m thinking about putting my ink line work on Instagram. What should I expect to happen or be prepared for? Advice? Thank you, Judy
Hi Judy! My experience with Instagram was that little by little, I noticed people I’d never met or heard of before starting to “like” my work. I had no idea how they’d found me (though likely it was through hashtags, like #mixedmedia, #doodleart, etc. — if you post hashtags in the comments along with your photos, when people search in Instagram on a hashtag that you used, your post may pop up).
It didn’t happen in an avalanche or a great rush, just tiny little drips and drops, but strangers started finding my work… and liking it! And it was that which I partly credit for helping me to see my work through other people’s eyes — helping me to take off my gremlin-tinted glasses and look at my art through other people’s neutral glasses.
When a stranger can take the trouble to lift her or his thumb and click a button to express appreciation for your work, and they don’t know you from Adam (so you know they aren’t trying to curry favor), then it’s pretty easy to figure that they must see *something* of value in it.
That really helps me to start to see what might be valuable in my work, rather than only focusing on the *lack*, on where it falls short from what I wanted for it.
That’s the biggest gift I’ve gotten from sharing my work on Instagram, Judy. It didn’t happen overnight, and your mileage may vary, but I’m a believer in preparing for the best. 🙂
