Instagram Art
I am by no stretch of the imagination what I would call a successful artist. Until then, I do live and work in the world of professional art – sigh – as a graphic designer, primarily in the web part of that world. On any given day I’m making site updates, designing sites, recommending approaches on social networking and SEO. But in regard to those recommendations, I – and I’ll admit it freely – am kind of a noob. At least in implementation, not necessarily theory.
Instagram Art Hashtags
For some reason I wouldn’t dare to put my pieces on DeviantArt, but I use Instagram. And I hate every second of it. I throw my drawings into a giant cesspool of selfies, drawings of eyes, and horrid manga attempts. Over 12 million images are hashtagged drawing, and still I wait for likes and follows.
Instagram Artists
Why do I even put this here? What is the point? It’s for that link they let me have at the top. www.patrickdew.com I should tweet more, blog more, post to forums – which I am telling you to do! They don’t allow links in comments on Instagram, at least that I’m aware of. But I put them in. Is it pointless? Probably not; something there is probably better than nothing.
Instagram vs Tumblr & Twitter
I Instagram for my name to be in places. It also creates fodder for other more important digital spheres like twitter, or tumblr. That will probably help the most. Think about it: relevant content being shared, hashtags, links, quotes and images. Every drawing, repost and comment gets you back to the Patrick Dew website.
Art Instagram Followers
Followers are that important: it’s the links, my name with the word drawing tied to it. It won’t matter until there are a lot of them, and when there are that many it’s irrelevant.
