This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

This is why, in the real human world, people prefer talking to their friends to sitting watching adverts and listening to uninvited strangers. Sure, there’s less money in it, so someone is going to have to work that bit out, but humans being social is what social humans enjoy.
Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the US 👇

In my mind this place is a 17th century thatched village coaching inn with local beer, a cosy open fire and a warm welcome.
The other place is a flat roof bar on a sink estate on the outskirts of Liverpool serving out of date Heineken in jam jars, Alsation on the roof and getting hassled by dealers.

Hello! I see you have arrived here, as I have. I'm fleeing everything Trump-related as I can't bear even to read his name, so I thought it might be peaceful here. Good to see old friends. I'm still trying to work out how this site works...
