What a nice surprise! I was contacted via Flickr that as the oldest remaining member of a Flickr group, I had just been made its adminstrator. Really? Hmm. Okay. This group has two members that belong to it. Myself and an artist with no avatar and a screenshot collage of artwork with pictures so small you can’t really no anything about his art. There are two other artists featured who are non-members, with really lovely paintings and drawings. None of my work has been loaded on this site, when did I join and to what purpose? I have no idea. What to do?
I friended the three artists, asked the artist who is a member if they would mind removing the collage and submit photos of single peices of art (which serves us both better) and asked the two non-members if they would join. I turned the whole thing into Canopy Gallery and tweeted my some 800+ art followers on Twitter that the gallery was open if they wanted to load art and made the group my website link on Twitter.
And the glorious result has been nada, nothing, zip. This is going to be more challenging than I thought. Any ideas?
