You NEED an art blog

 I'm really sick of how BORING art platforms are.

Where you are lucky to pick a profile picture and banner. social media has become alot less personalized. and with NSFW artists or artist covering certain topics your scope is very much limited without having to censor yourself.

What artist would want to leave their only legacy on an image block site where there direction is limited to a TOS and a Character Limit.

This is why I have an artblog 

The First Blog site I used was Spacehey. A site I really recommend if you want that classic type of landing profile. I had seen tons of very talented artists here. and actually saw so much more of their personality and life just from how much more personal the blog format is. 

I Had tons of fun on that site and met alot of people but troubleshooting HTML issues is really hard and alot of things can break. after leaving my profile template does not work at all anymore. But it works if you are willing to upkeep your profile.

The Blog Format.

The personal aspect is what I care about the most. Do I really feel anything when I post Just an image and a caption?. I have been Posting my art for 8-5 YEARS now and I have never been more close to my art and audience. You might not think you have much to say about your art and I thought the same. my early posts were very plain but after a while. writing down my process inspiration or just what happened that week just grows my connection with my art and audience more.

 

My Blogger is also a "18+" site

 so as someone that draws tits and talks about fucked up stuff. this is incredible. I really have gotten sick with how hyper surveilled we are now. from our individual words to what we post. and to just have so much more freedom in those aspects. I can actually say suicide or mass shooting or sexual assault. and talk about adult issues without using baby speak. it reminds me of the zine scene. just absolute creative freedom. what are you creating for if it can't advocate for your own means of speech.

I believe blogs are some of the most unique and personalized sites on the internet. even on blogger which their system is pretty stream lined. You can make some very unique designs. down to the little icon in the browser tab. Blogger is leaps and bounds above even youtube. I really like my page. If you don't think so. Maybe visit it to really give me a piece of your mind!!

The Thing that mainly intrigued me with blogs was the older times in the internet. Before Social media was just snapshots of your life writing blogs is far more involved and personal. with the pace of the modern internet it's hard to get people to sit and read anything. but I don't really care. this platform and format has made me more free than I have ever been on the internet. And I love it.
