Hello, everyone!
I am so excited to finally share my most recent personal project: this blog! Actually, no. I was expecting to have everything ready, beautiful, and full of bats and owls all around, but that wasn’t possible just yet. I was in urgent need of having my my illustration portfolio online again, so I decided to just publish the site as it is – a work in progress.
Still, I am happy and satisfied with the overall look and functioning of everything so far. Plus, I can have a safe place to share things about my art life.
Well, not that Instagram is literally unsafe. It’s just because I’m tired of building my home on someone else’s land. Here, I can decide exactly what to share, and how it will look in the end. On Instagram, the social network I’ve been dedicated to for so many years, I can’t even rely on a grid layout anymore: they changed from square to vertical after more than a decade of carefully planned grids; and then, to make it even worse, my account never updated to the new look, haha! Seriously, folks, I still see everything as square.
Here, I can share whatever ratio of images I wish, as many as I wish, and I don’t have to be anxious about some mysterious algorithm not delivering it to my small base of followers. Here, every single one of you who subscribes will get an email every time I post. And if you’re too young to use emails regularly – well, this place is always open for you whenever you want to drop by. And we have fresh coffee all day long… except at 4 o’clock, that’s tea time.
So… what do you think? Anyone else missing the time when the internet consisted of human-made, valuable, heartfelt content? Or am I alone in my rebellion against social media?
Drop a comment and let’s chat! Oh. And I should mention the comments section is managed by John; he sounds like he hates life, but he’s actually a nice bat!
Speak soon!
