I understand that getting your artwork or design noticed is no easy feat. Even getting this blog noticed is a challenge BUT together we can slowly grow our visibility.
I would like to use my blog to help those in the arts (photography, watercolour, oil, sketches, acrylic, sculptures) or in the design world (furniture, home, fashion, you're in!)
Promote yourself: Take a look at these handy Q&A for artists and designers as a primer to promotion.
Working out how to promote yourself can be a bit tricky. Here are some questions that should help you prepare for any promotional exercise – some are slight, some are serious, but all of them are useful to get your head around for those Paxman moments.
You can even answer just a handful and email them to hanniz.envato[@]gmail.com for a possible feature on the site.
Include a photo of your ‘creative space’, and some examples of your work, or links on how to get them.
