Artists: your work is not 'content' - a fleeting blip of engagementainment. Your work is a labor of love. Give it the care it deserves and create the things YOU want to see. You will never satiate the ravenous maw of social media. Stop feeding the maw and start feeding yourself.
@Andantonius Imagine working for hours upon hours in a week, even a month, with all your passion just to cater to the 32 milliseconds of attention span people have on social media these days. Create what you love. Love what you create.
@Andantonius At the age of 24 I’m starting to turn the ship into the right direction. It’s so hard. I’ve been drawing for the wrong people for so long I don’t even know what it looked like drawing for myself.
@Andantonius even as a marketer, conflaiting the generic 'content' that should be about the placement and function of media on a platform with the artistic medium it is has done so much damage to artists and art culture online.
@Andantonius I'm gonna drop in to say that never in my life or the next few will I EVER call someone's work or artistry "content". I apply this thought to every medium too, games, movies, tv series, all of them. Anything to rebel against "consume product" brain.
@Andantonius It has been years and I still look back at some old pieces I did from the heart and love them. Really made me see the value of a good personal piece. It will always be there for you to look back at.
@Andantonius the word 'content' was a clever psyop to trick artists into depersonalizing their own work so that it's easy to just throw it online and allow an algorithm to make ad revenue from it.
@Andantonius I wish it was so simple but when you see everyone but you growing its hard to motivate to even start drawing anything in my opinion. 🙃 Social media ruin it for me.
@Andantonius @EtincelleArt @EtincelleArt I read this and thought "maybe this could be something that reminds me of etincelle, maybe it would be a good thing to send to her"... It's literally your rt! xD
