Title: Any Microstock Illustrators on Instagram?
Post by: EO on January 15, 2021, 13:39
My feed is full of illustrators in other industries, but I'd like to follow more microstock illustrators on Instagram. Right now the microstock hashtag is just photography and videos.

I'm @pursuitofnatural on Instagram.

I only use Blogger. I had that one for years and Twitter. Suited me just fine.
Personal advertising does work for me anyways.  :)

Interesting. Do you share examples of your work there? I imagine it would be more tedious to keep up with it in the blog format (speaking as someone who tried a few times.) Or is it mainly for writing about your work?

Microstock illustrators sure are an elusive bunch. Where is everyone? Maybe I'll check blogs. Do you mind sharing your blog link, ktg?

There are a lot of illustrators on Instagram. Many of them are really great. But it is not clear about the destiny of the materials published: social networks can use them in their favor for free. What then?

Mostly Instagram is an album for self promotion and discovering other artists and their styles. Followers do not translate to opportunities. The more successfully working illustrators in general have "low" follower counts on there.

Well I post when I feel like it or when I can. I actually have two of them. One for my work another for everything else.

Every now again I update it with some new things.

If someone visits and other, great. If not that's alright too. I know my blogs are not for everyone.  :-[  :)
