I actually ended up doing that because the business page gives you more stats and shyt on how to run it. The thing is the algorithm shyt don't even matter like that no more since they done fukked with it too much already. Its set up now for you to run ads if you want to reach a certain amount of people in your audience.
it makes shyt harder to go viral on IG/FB....thats why I use Twitter more. I have a lesser following on there but I'm more known there and get better engagement when I post my art. I look at it like this..
IG/FB is for your personality and to build a decent gallery you can whip out and show folks on your phone.
Twitter/Tik Tok is for you to expand your reach/blow up or go viral.

This is incredible.

Legit just locked up my 2nd commission at work tonight. Posted some art on my whatsapp story and a coworker asked if I can draw and wants me to do something for her. You right about putting myself out there.

my michael jackson joint, others would have seen this but let me see what PortCityLouCooperRoad feels about this :
getting the hardboard in next week and the glue, going to wait till i am fully off with space and then get to work over these new pieces.
have to get a bunch of tools and mediums, make these 20x the best work of my life.

i appreciate that i will have to do my googles on the highlighted lol.
yep its just been so far word of mouth and the odd socialhub advert but its something.
there is this place in bricklane thats east london its big on street art and contemporary everything, i am trying to get a foot in the door.
they said i could pay for a space at a showing and they guarentee my online presence increase meaning more followers on instagram and what not.
would you do it?
i forget a certain amount of square space for like 450 or something. i can find the letters but i think its roughly that cost ... no gallery commission too.

around winter all galleries look for prospects because they mostly do "group shows" around the christmas period.
or you are getting too big for a group show?
when you get some spare time i would really like to read about your journey, how you went from just drawing and sketches to deciding hey i want to paint? who were your first influences? who are they now?
props.
+ i will like to put you onto Michael Armitage. since i came across him a few years back, nothing but humility ever since. i think you would like his work, he tells a lot of stories like i try to. if you are tackling those bigger canvas's i think it would turn out very similar to Michael Armitage with a little twist lol.
