I think it’s about knowing audience, collectors, and creating a meaningful and authentic message that appeals to them, that adds value for them.

It’s about the artist to the extent that it’s interesting or meaningful to the collector.

It’s an opportunity to make a connection. An authentic connection is valued.

I would love to hear more of your thoughts on what it would mean for an artist to “be the media”. My approach to social media has always been that the best message I can put out there to help market myself, is to provide insight into my position as an artist: what motivates me, what it is like to live a creative life, etc. I treat it like an on-going open studio: what you hear on my blog/twitter/etc is what you might hear if you dropped by my studio for a chat.

Yet I often hear the advide that we all become “experts” in some subject, that we turn our blogs into a resource that attracts readers, and then converts them to collectors later. What do you think?
