It's only fear.


I sometimes wonder if I'm "hurting" myself by being selective of the technologies I use. If I'm denying myspace and twitter in favor of facebook / livejournal, am I, as an artist, hurting my chances of establishing notoriety? Plenty of successful artists have censured publicity / promotion, but I am not J.D. Salinger. Especially since I am using one over the other. Also: why fight the trend? What is the benefit of fighting the current? Some kind of imaginary cool that I've invented?

Simply put, are all artists sculptors, painters, writers, performers? Do you use all meduim? ink, charcoal, paint, pencil, crayon, blood on cave wall? You use the tools you want, like and have ability with. Its not limiting, but more of a concentrated effort.

I meant more the websites I use more than the tools...but I'm trying new stuff there, too!
