A place to talk about art on Farcaster. Artwork created by jacob.eth

not enough people are building tools for artists. minting platforms don’t count. we have enough of those, maybe too many even. 

you want mass onboarding, but underestimate the collective social strength a lot of artists(not me) have on their web2 socials. ￼

artists are the best shillers for your product. 

build tools for artists > if they like it, they’ll talk about it on their socials by making it a part of their workflow > onboard their followers over times

ahahah good point! maybe /shower-thoughts and /no-channel are where people post now, or like me post it in relevant topic channels. 

we definitely should have /halfbaked though

how do we not have a /halfbaked channel to collect everyone’s semi-formed thoughts and rough-draft cogitations?

this is a half baked thought. i had to send out before it gets buried in my drafts.

highlight.xyz is an open-access platform for creating and collecting digital art and culture.

/highlight

my brain is mush rn but i will come back to you and @0xconca.eth with a list of ideas i’ve had over the years. 

fwiw, @manifoldxyz and @hypersub are two companies that are building tools for artists and shipping constantly. big fans of both teams.

agree on hypersub. mentioned it here when i replied to @toadyhawk.eth 

highlight is super cool too. and i love they have so many options available for different mint mechanisms. 

my wish is for tools for artists beyond minting, hence a big vouch for what hypersub and manifold are doing.

really impressed with what @emodi is building with @highlight though

and even if not a creator platform, love what @hypersub has done for artists and creators

Oh, yes, you're right 😬. But there are alternatives. I know that @pierrepauze  is working on a project called Artcoin that offers a pretty cool idea. I don't know if you've heard of it before.

oh irl galleries where the people that visit them are those besides the 500-1000 ppl that are already active in the space would be nice 💀

idk how much longer can i keep telling myself i’m proud that i have my work exhibited at shows when the same 100 ppl are viewing it. 😭 and they’re mostly going for networking and not really to see the art.

I've always thought it would be nice to see an app emerge with an art gallery here, I don't know what you think. I already have a name for it: Based Galerie 😅

Amen! 🙏

Having aid in marketing and finding audiences is needed the most. Artists these days have to play all roles:

Artists
Marketing
Shilling
Gallery Owner
Etc

It becomes so much especially with full-time jobs in between to pay the bills and keep the lights on while working towards making our passions our full careers. 

So many places promise it and half-ass complete the tasks and fail to follow through or help smaller accounts and align with the already established folxs that tend to have and can afford their own teams.

This is so obviously a great starting point. I think having a core identity like FC helps the cause but platforms haven't embraced interoperability and decided to compete instead of building Legos. We'll get there eventually but it's wild we still don't have a go-to profile. 

Maybe we can build this at enjoy, but it will take several steps to get there.

yeah almost every collection i have created atm has been derailed in what i had plans for it within a year or so. because the mechanisms and meta keeps changing. also lots of fafo happens since we're THIS early.

besides that, better tools for aggregating ALL of our mints in one place would be cool. manifold does the back end(? idk the right word) where u can add all your contracts in one place to create snapshots. to have a "marketplace" where you can buy ANY of my work (digital or physical) irrespective of the platform is one of the things I'd love to have.

What do you feel like you’re missing most as an artist? 

For me, I notice a lot of inconsistency in valuation of art across platforms, so I think it contributes to a lot of confusion for strategies

We have an open-source protocol to help artists leverage the power of inscriptions on Base! We can help..

I think this is connected with the sentiment I've been seeing about this not being a space for artists. I think they are right, but it can be! Creators have to make this place what they want it to be. Won't happen by itself, no single community will be catered to, its what you make it.
