In case you haven't noticed, Twitter has been getting a lot of attention these last few months. Oprah. Larry King. Basically any celebrity, A-list, B-list, TV personality, or otherwise has a Twitter account. They sell their CD's, they promote their shows, they spill way to much info about their personal lives.
But their are also those of us who are finding Twitter to be a wonderful way to connect with a huge array of people with similar interests, hobbies, or other common characteristics. One of my favorite groups to connect with is fellow artists.
Artists, like myself, are finding Twitter to be a great way to share new work, discuss techniques, get feedback on on-line selling venues, find out about shows and competitions, and in general connect with other artists who are doing their best to share their work with the world.
Twitter has, however, been starting to become over-loaded with spammers and computer robots that fill the otherwise friendly banter with virus links and other land-mines. It's becoming more difficult to find REAL people on Twitter to connect with. So I'm inviting anyone who is on Twitter - REAL people who are on Twitter - who are interested in Art, Galleries, Museums, or similarly minded topics to post here. I would love to get to know you on Twitter!
And hopefully, you will join in the conversation with others who post here, too!
I am http://twitter.com/krystyna81
PS...I monitor comments, so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away - thanks :)

ReplyDeleteAndolaurina...I agree! Pornbots are a big no-no
I lost a bunch of people I was following (not sure what happened!) so thanks for the reminder that I need to add you again :)
ReplyDeleteI love those bird drawings. I'm hooked on orange and blue now too.
And yes, there's some lovely spammers on twitter, aren't there? But I do love catching up with artists all over the world. I especially like seeing sneak peeks of current artworks.
You'll find me as AlexLouisa, but I think you might already be following me anyway!
I'm afraid I have followed back too many twitters. I need to clean up my following with some lists, I guess. Anyway I am http://www.twitter.com/hammelmanart

I'm on twitter, too http://www.twitter.com/jamieribisi
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, I just followed you, followed you on my old account "debsparkles" then I got phished because I stupidly clicked a link in dm that I thought was real because the dm was someone I had interacted with often. Lesson learned. So now following you as Glassandstone.
ReplyDeleteI am radiochoci on Twitter. I try to tweet on occasion, but really haven't exploited the medium as much as I should!
ReplyDeleteJamie, Deb and Amy...thank you so much for adding your links! Off to be sure we stay connected on Twitter :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - good warning! Try to avoid clicking on ANY links you are unsure about in DM's - lots of bad stuff being sent out that way via hacked accts. When in doubt, verify with the sender first (as said - it may even be from someone you trust, but they don't know it was sent out!)
I am @naronson. I will go follow you

I totally agree that twitter has become a great place to connect with other artists. I stumbled upon it back in January and for me, it filled a void that was created when I retired. (You know, having that daily contact with other art colleagues!) It's great to be able to connect with others with similar interests and has been a wonderful source of information and camaraderie. And yes, I do follow you on twitter. Best regards, HARDPRESSED
ReplyDeletethanks for adding all of your twitter names!!! I'll make a new post with everyone's id :)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this! my twitter: http://twitter.com/MsDeadlyVintage
ReplyDeleteI have a vintage clothing site so most of my tweets concern that, but I'm also a painter & visual artist/misbehaver. Would love to find more art friends.

I am a complete stranger to tweeting but you have me convinced! Thank you. I'm off to my twittering friends for a tutorial!
