Скачать или смотреть Artist Advice: How Important Is Social Media Clout?

A pretty big question making the rounds in the art world lately:

Is social media clout and follower count important when it comes to getting and keeping work as an artist? What are the pros and cons of a large social following, and how does artistic talent fall into the conversation?


Here's a take from a pro artist with a relatively small (~800 followers, 1k subscribers) social presence but professional work credits (ADIDAS, ImagineFX, indie films, book covers, etc)

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments!
