Like many people, I partake in social media daily. If you are interested in following me on any of my social media outlets, please feel free to do so! I have twitter, instagram, facebook, and a tumblr along with this blog!
Follow my instagram accounts:
@Bailsofhaay: Includes art, my social life, and just everyday pretty things. My life in pictures essentially.

@Bailsofhaayy: I use this as a mixture of spreading the word about my blog, artwork, UC events, and general thoughts, as well as my social life.
Follow my tumblr: http://bailsofhay718.tumblr.com/
Bailsofhay718: I rarely get on this, but this blog has all of the posts from this blog, as well as my instagrams.

Bailey Dowlin Art: I will post more often here. I will post links to publications, links for this blog, and add many pictures of my completed artwork. You will also see instagrams from @baileydowlinart shared here as well.
I am constantly “instagramming” things around me, my love for photography and wanting to take pictures of everything I’m doing is more acceptable on instagram. I love how you can take artistic photos, as well as fun with friends. My goal however is to add more “in progress” pictures of my artwork as a sort of journal, this way I can see my work transform. So I will be posting to my second instagam account more often, including almost all of my work and in-progress images. Hopefully I can get some feedback, a sort of informal critique as I am working on various projects.
Another goal is to keep up with my artist page on Facebook. I have fallen behind and not kept it up, and I would like to have recent work. I decided to link my art instagram to my art facebook page for easier posting, and hopefully keeping the page up to date. Facebook pages are great for getting artwork out there, and makes it easy to share pictures, links, and other media.
I absolutely love this blog and I love social media, so I will try to utilize these tools for my artwork. Although I use facebook & instagram for social purposes, I have separate accounts for artistic posts, and my twitter account is a mixture of the two. To be honest, I rarely get on Tumblr except to research artists or just to look at things for fun, but mostly they are posts from this blog or instagram. But hopefully I won’t get TOO wrapped up with social media! I will make sure to focus on school and art making, as well as enjoying life outside of the virtual world.
I am also going to try to make some videos of me painting in the studio, it will be a fun way to document my process. So be on the lookout for those!
My question for you: How do you utilize social media to showcase your artwork? What is your favorite form of social media? Leave a comment, I’m very curious 🙂
