Strategies for Getting Your Art Noticed
For the first time in my life, I really want to grind hard to get my art noticed on social media. I don’t think it’s bad or shallow at all. I really want to grow followers, get recognized by big artists and consumer bases, get approached for commissions, etc. Not because I need that validation for my skills, but because I really think it’s the best way for me to make art as a stable career while keeping my passion and love intact.
