Social networking is a popular way of promoting yourself as an artist. I have a facebook page set up to show my artwork, it's an easy way to share your artwork with your friends allowing them to share it too. I am currently working on a Tumblr as that is a much faster way to spread your art with the power of hashtags. By using the appropriate hashtag people will be able to find my artwork. One of my favourite social networks is my Twitter account. I can actually talk to some of my artists & it's really exciting when they actually respond (sad I know). I have most of my followers on Twitter however it's hard to actually show off artwork on there, mainly because people are too lazy to click a link!
I have my own website that I am currently working on & struggling! Originally I was using squarespace to host it as it came with ready made templates suitable for online portfolios. However it was not very fun to work with & I couldn't get a shop working on there. I was bashing my head on my keyboard for hours! There is no need for this! So for £12 a month I thought it wasn't worth it, cancelled that account & purchased my own domain (www.hollipopillustration.co.uk) & purchased my own hosting space for a year. £30 it was! So much cheaper & more professional looking. I was able to download an app that integrated Wordpress so I could blog easily. And thanks to some of my friends who worked for website companies, I was able to get a premium theme for free! It's taking a long time to work on but it's far less stressful now!
Furthermore in the summer I have planned to set up a stall at the Manchester MCM expo. I have been visiting these shows since I was 12, mainly to dress up as it is my hobby, however this year I intend to sell artwork there with one of my fellow illustrators. I have decided to sell 5 different prints, 10 of each on a3. To print these I have been recommended a website called awesomemerchandise.com. This will cost £75 for 50 prints on card, good quality prints which value £1.50 each. So of course if I sell them at £3-£5 each I should make a tidy profit. However I also need to consider printing business cards & the look of my store so I can promote myself & lead people to my online store which will be set up by then. There is also the question of what my designs will be. I will have to consider the audience, not change my art style & not create a fan art at the same time. Tricky but with my many years of attending I should be able to come up with something!
THE MAJORITY HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteWhen the subject of Christianity has been debated the majority has never been right.
The majority of first century Jews rejected Jesus as the messiah.---The majority has never been right.
John 4:25, 26 The woman said to Him. "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."
26 Jesus said to her. "I who speak to you am He."(NKJV)
The majority of world rejects Jesus as the only Savior.---The majority has never been right.
Acts 4:10-12 ...the name of Jesus Christ.....12 "Nor is there no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."(NKJV)
The majority of those who claim to be Christians believe the false doctrine of original sin. They believe that because Adam and Eve sinned that all men are guilty of spiritual sin at birth. They believe in inherited sin.---The majority has never been right.
Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. (NKJV)
No man has inherited the guilt of Adam. Men will face spiritual death because of their own sins.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned---(NKJV)
Death spread to all men because all men have sinned.
The majority of those who claim Jesus as Savior believe that modes of water baptism are sprinkling and pouring---The majority has never been right.
Mark 16:16 Whoever trusts and is immersed will be saved; whoever does not trust will be condemned. (Complete Jewish Bible)
Mark 16:16 He who has believed, and has been immersed, will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (The Better Version of the New Testament by Chester Estes)
There are no translations that translate Mark 16:16 as such, "He who believes and has been sprinkled or poured shall be saved."---The majority has never been right.
The majority of Baptist believe that water baptism is not essential to the forgiveness of sins and that once you are saved you can never be lost---The majority of Baptists have never been right.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NKJV)
Galatians 5:1-4.....you have fallen from grace.(NKJV)
The majority of those who claim to be Christian believe that their church denomination is the final authority when it comes to faith and practice of the Christian faith---The majority has never been right.
The word of God found in the Bible and the Bible alone is not only the final authority, but the only authority for mankind.
THE MAJORITY WILL NOT BE GOING TO HEAVEN
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.(NKJV)
If the majority were always right there would be many who find life eternal, however---The majority has never been right.
Luke 13:23-24 Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?" And He said to them, 24 "Strive to enter the narrow gate for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.(NKJV)
