You have to pay social media platforms to reach even your own your followers now. There is no chance of virality, unless you pay for it. Google's indexing changes mean your work will never be discovered unless you buy advertising. What is an artist to do? Submit your work to open calls? Those galleries have the exact same problem you do: getting reach. Ask them how much advertising they will buy to promote your show if you are picked, because they'll have to.
I think artists may have to go back to basics and cut out the middlemen to connect directly with our customers. If you have any ideas on how to do this, I want to hear them!

Capturing images has changed since the smartphone was introduced. Is it still photography? I describe what documentary photography is about and how smartphone users can create it by simply pointing their cameras in the opposite direction.

I heard back from Canada's Heritage Minister.
While she confirms the significance of the giant TRIBE MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHIC archive, there are no funds available for the archive's digitization.
Where did all the tax money go?
Please donate to the preserve the beat project to digitize the photographic archive of Canada's national DJ Culture and Electronic Music Magazine. It's an important record of the birth of Electronic Music in Canada.

AI is coming for everybody's lunch. Sundar is dancing.
Google announced fundamental changes to its search product that will favor scaled businesses who can afford to pay Google for AI search mentions. Nobody else will get referral traffic or perhaps even mentioned on the search engine.
Google's AI will just provide an answer to your query that people will accept because of convenience. Google claims it will still provide referral links to content providers, but the smartest tech reporters on the planet don't believe this for a second, and neither should we.
After the AI tech platforms have destroyed our small or medium sized internet facing businesses and storefronts they will go after the huge businesses that can still afford to buy content distribution and advertising. Then they will go after each other in a monumental clash of the titans for global AI tech platform supremacy.
What a sad ending to the hopeful promise of the Internet.

I describe the casting process of Sterling Silver Belt Buckle designs which were inspired by a live Indica leaf. I talk about combining Sterling Silver and 14K Yellow Gold together in a single belt buckle design. I'll tell you why Man Brooches should be worn on hoodies. I discuss how jewelers think about using non-precious metals for components in precious metal jewelry pieces; for brooch pins, or hinge pins, for example.

Did you wonder why Jonathan Haidt was a guest on every podcast you subscribed to around two weeks ago? It's because his book publisher put him on all the shows. How much of podcasting is pay to play? Are your favorite podcasts being shaped and controlled by advertisers and book publishers? Can we even tell anymore?

I will be talking about the technical aspects and complexities of photographic film digitization on today's show.
On Monday April 22 I'm launching an indiegogo campaign called PRESERVE THE BEAT to raise the funds to digitize the massive TRIBE MAGAZINE photographic archive. It's a huge job: there are over 10,000 images as slides and negatives in the collection.
There is nothing like this collection in the world. It's nearly a complete look at Canadian electronic music & DJ culture, from the inside, from a time before smartphones. It's the record of a lost civilization, the birth of digital music, and the story of electronic music in Canada. But more than that, it's our family pictures. And you might be in them too if you went to a rave or warehouse party back in the day!
Digitizing these images will facilitate the publication of books, documentary films, gallery shows, and online galleries, and their eventual bequeath-al to three large Canadian art entities, for archival preservation. I want to cement our culture into Canada's historical record because I think Canadians of the future may need to see it for authentic hope and inspiration.
I need your help!
Please share the campaign link below with 4 people you went to raves or warehouse parties with back in the day. Tell them to sign up for PRESERVE THE BEAT campaign updates on the website and encourage them to donate to this important project when the campaign launches next week (April 22, 2024).
There's a 7 min video on the page, below, where I describe what this project is about. Please watch.

Thank you for helping to PRESERVE THE BEAT!

How much struggle is enough to complete your art? Should you really max out your struggle? Or do you need just enough struggle to take the rough edges off your masterpiece?
Watch this award winning documentary. It's only 18 minutes long. It may seem old-timey at first, but while you are taking in the majestic Canadian wilderness, you'll be getting a deeper message.

Is no news really good news?
I am so addicted to news. Ever since the pandemic I've felt the need to tune in to multiple international news sources, many times during the day, to learn what may be coming. This is probably a big mistake, and I think it's time to cut back on news consumption.
I talk about making massive Sterling Silver belt buckles and other belt jewelry out of cannabis leaves in this episode. The giant Indica Leaf Sterling Silver Buckle will be magnificent. Working on decorative (but functional!) Sterling Silver belt jewelry loops in Sterling Silver are coming - attach your keys or a wallet chain.

Often, a drawing of your idea isn't enough. You need to make a prototype, a test model, to see if the idea will work in real life. Prototyping allows you to work out bugs and iterate designs and it can highlight critical flaws in your design that need to be addressed before you make the final object.
Here are two companies that make great products for prototyping your ideas. They are not sponsors.
Smooth-On makes the best platinum silicones we have used. You can make high quality molds with nearly 0% shrinkage without a vacuum pump. Their silicones are perfect for creating temporary back up molds in your design process. They also produce 2-part urethane resins you can use for prototyping.
https://www.smooth-on.com/
Alumilite is known for their excellent urethane and epoxy casting resins.

Either the star looks great and the jewelry looks bad, or the jewelry looks fabulous and the star looks like they've been painted with a paint roller. Why can't these big brands optimize their product imagery to at least match across their platform channels? Why?
I look at the performance of Tiffany and Boucheron from a marketing perspective to access the efficacy of their Oscar 2024 campaigns based on their public facing marketing efforts.
Bad light, bad photo editing, no co-ordination between corporate divisions is a recipe for waste, and it is on full display at the Oscars. The press page on the Tiffany domain hasn't been updated since November 2023.
You've already forgotten what brand of jewelry Zendaya was wearing on the red carpet, haven't you? Why are these brands spending huge money on stars when they don't even use the resulting images? What's the point? I think this type of marketing doesn't make sense anymore.
Being a small and nimble designer has its advantages.
