I get your point, on the other hand Threads started similarly and now it’s pretty much like Twitter albeit being a meta product this was to be expected anyways, probably I will have to do more written content in here to make it work, but Substack seems a better fit for that 🤔

I have a bit of post twitter ptsd, I feel that social media as Bluesky, twitter and Threads favors conflict based interactions which I don’t really want to engage

Yeah I understand that, Cara I do a lot better than here to be fair

Thank you so much for your kind words, I just don’t see much engagement here in comparison to Instagram or TikTok, so I feel that this is still mostly for people who want to write rather than for visual artists

I didn’t shared the final drawings of my sketchbook here because frankly I lost my faith on Bluesky, but anyways here they are

Digital ink illustration on tinted paper background. At center is a pageant queen in a black of the shoulder gown and wearing a sash and holding a bouquet of roses. Her head is actually a large hand in a ‘fingers crossed’ position. Behind her another pageant lay in a dress placing a sparkly tiara around the two extended crossed fingers of the first one’s ‘head’. Tiara lady’s head is a blindfolded skull with its entire cranium on fire. It’s like symbolism or something. If you look a bit closely at the bouquet of roses you can see an axe head protruding from it and the queen’s sash reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’ with the last word partially obscured behind the flowers.

Maybe I could just use it to talk about thoughts in my art process and things like that and curate whatever this platform that way and go from there.

Camilo Carreno-Gonzalez @camilocarreno.bsky.social · Jul 24

Yeah no this is too twitter-like for my taste and it gives me the creeps, I don’t want to end up going on rants and fighting with internet people

Camilo Carreno-Gonzalez @camilocarreno.bsky.social · Jul 24

Well after a bit of thinking I think it’s unfair that I complain about no one seeing or reacting to my art in here as I myself don’t interact a lot in here, so my bad, but honestly I have PTSD from the Twitter days, how do you even interact in these places anymore in a way that feels organic?
