Art... going, going...gone?

I am considering clearing out my entire gallery of my artwork and starting fresh. Very seriously. So if you are interested in owning a print of any of the current available artworks, then now would be the time to consider purchasing it. Once they're retired, I won't be offering them for sale again.

I'm feeling drawn to a different style of fantasy art. My current plan is to doodle and paint over the next few months and then when I have a handful of new pieces to retire every single piece I've painted up to this month and solely promote the new artworks. Originals from the older artworks may or may not be for sale. Some have already sold or been given away and some I'm thinking of burning. heh. ;)




Next topic: twitter! and other social networking places

I have been thinking about how I want to use twitter. I don't want to obligate people to have to follow twitter for fear of missing an important or interesting post. What I've tentatively decided to do is to use twitter as a mini-journal (for when something is just so insignificant and short that a full journal isn't really needed) and also for links to major announcements. Major announcements will also be added to this blog. i.e. new art or something along those lines.

We'll see how that goes. I am not very much into social networking in a huge way, so I doubt I'll get into it so much as to have entire conversations there. But since so many use and love twitter I'm going to give it a go. :)

I also tried facebook recently BUT I do not like it and so will not be posting there. I have asked for my account there to be deleted. Same goes for MySpace. I tried it (more than once!) and just could not get into it so I ruthlessly killed it too. ;)

As for livejournal: I've had an account there for many years. I don't use it much anymore for my own posts as I post all my journals here. However, I do still check it frequently to keep up with some of the friends I've made there.

That about sums things up for that topic. :) If you are curious about any other site I may belong to, then check out my links page on my website. I try to keep that list current with all the places you can find me on the net.

I am following you at Twitter now, though I am mostly on facebook anymore. It's easy to miss posts on both twitter and facebook because they are so fast paced, so blogs are still good.

You make a really good point! The blog is and will always be my main form of communication with everyone. Twitter is just like a little extra side item that isn't really needed. Although, if you are curious to see the tweets I put the twitter application in my sidebar so my last tweets are available to read here on my blog as well. When it actually works. Seems like it doesn't always pull my tweets to repost there. I might have to see if there is a better way for it to show up here. :)
