quite the mine field, back in school I was in a German social network and was told that using a (tasteful!) profile pic of me as a goth is a bad idea

All the time I see guys who I don't consider ''good artists'' but they are doing galleries and getting jobs, it's just because they network... i mean, I guess that's the reason

hahaha, yes, that was my intention (the seeming professional part :P)

Be friendly, upload art, talk to the friends you add, tell jokes, let it be personal, but remember that people hiring might look at your facebook account, so keep if professional, don't talk about how drunk you are going to get in vegas next week and pay some hookers

Then create a facebook account, remember to use it as an artist, but not as a machine.

feels like a 'must' in that jungle of social networking

06 Feb 19:00

Lyraina

yeah I have blog, twitter etc, just feels a bit careless to ignore FB completely as *everybody* seems to use it

And if you want to be out there, make a blog, website, twitter, facebook, tumblr, reddit, imgur, cghub accounts

06 Feb 18:51

Gliger

if you create a facebook account, upload art, talk about art, friend people who do art, but don't approach it as ''I need to make contacts for my future'', like, super serious. Just meet people, talk to cool artists, be close to the people who like your work

06 Feb 18:50

Gliger

make everything, but if you are studying full time, and you don't upload many personal IPs and such, I wouldn't worry too much about getting your work out there

06 Feb 18:33

Lyraina

I would guess personal profile because you can friend people etc?

06 Feb 18:33

Lyraina

For a not-yet-professional, is it better to make a "site" or a personal profile on facebook? FB is so confusing and everything changes all the time :(

I used to not like Pentel color pencils for the white sand thing in them, but this fellow is making them render like Fabre-Castell: http://aenaluck.deviantart.com/gallery/
