Sirius, star of the constellation Canis Major, is the brightest in the sky. As my name suggests, I am interested in Art from the brightest web3 Stars 🌟
I see many artists post that they have no engagement and hardly anyone sees their posts.
If this is true for you, read on.
Engagement is not an X mystery. The algorithm is public and if you take the time to understand it, you can crack it.

I have challenged myself to spend 2400 $XTZ on art in the 24 hours starting at 4 p.m. EST Aug. 4
I have two questions for you:
1) Is this a good idea?
2) Can you suggest interesting, high-quality art I should consider?

Collecting art is so challenging because artists pretty much only post Google ads. This is not a good marketing strategy.
The price or how many editions are remaining are useless information. Assume collectors have a brain and can figure this out.
Do say something meaningful

Your goal is simple...curate three artworks by three different artists on Objkt that fit together thematically. One of these artists can be you.

I invite every Artist whose artwork I collect to start a new thread with their artwork tagging me. I want to learn everything you are willing to share about the artwork.
Why you created it? How you created it? The technique. The inspiration. The feelings behind it. The message
Tezos is so broken.
I have to try each transaction at least five times and there are so many artworks I collected where the transaction was accepted but did not get mined.
And nope, the issue is not at my end.
Wow Alex! What an amazing curation. 🌟
It was a joy to collect all these. Thank you for all the work you put into curating, and then maintaining the curation. Super grateful.
I'm done with curation for the

There are 42 artworks priced at 497.37 XTZ. I tried to create a shopping thread with all the links but ran into X limits. So, I put everything together in this curated gallery. Hope that's fine.
I want to be transparent about something — I am mentally allergic to woeful or passive-aggressive posts like these and for my sanity I mute/unfollow the author:
🛑🫤 I am not in your collection but I am happy for those who got collected 🫤🛑
🛑🛑🫤 I have no chance since you
🌟 Likes and Reposts from other people who have no audience is not helping you. They are just vanity metrics. And the algorithm does not reward a bunch of engagement from low value accounts. Other artists Liking/Reposting each other's posts is not fooling the algorithm or anyone
What you think:
Sales of your art is an indicator of whether you're a good artist
Reality:
Sales of your art is a complex function of crypto market, capital available to collectors, collector preference, genre, marketplace, blockchain, discoverability, inventory, keywords,
Don't take it personally if I don't acknowledge your thank you post for collecting your artwork.
It's just me — I think it's bad etiquette to say thank you and make a sales pitch of remaining editions and price in the same post.
I silently appreciate the post, but won't engage
As a newcomer to web3 art, I don't know much about the rules so I'm feeling my way along slowly.
One thing I noticed is that there is a propensity in the space to make mountains out of molecules. I have always believed the adage that small minds talk about people, and great

Found it on the Foundation home page just minutes before auction ended.
Habiba, the artwork is nothing short of magnificent.

It's May and maybe it's time for me to start exploring other L1 chains besides Ethereum.
I see art on Tezos and Solana.
Which one has the most 🌟 artists from whom I collect this weekend?
Tezos experiment done.
Now going to try Solana.
Definitely not interested in L2's like Base, Zora etc. They offer no benefit to a collector and introduce the dual headaches of bridging funds and splitting your collection. Sticking to L1 chains.
I love all the suggestions in my new artists thread. It's going to take a bit but I am adding referrer and referred artists to a list so I can easily scan through them.
Here's my list so far...probably 30% done

Do you know of any collage artworks with a social or political message?
The last part is important. I'm interested only in the collages with this message type 🌟
Your artwork means everything to you.
To everyone else, it's just another image in a web browser.
Everyone does not see and appreciate your art because to do so would cost them in the most valuable currency they have — Attention.

The trick to being an effective salesperson is to not let the customer know you are selling.
If you use language in any way resembling this, you are not being effective and probably sabotaging yourself:
- I hope there is an auction for this...
- I am manifesting that xyz will
The stark, night and day, 180 degrees difference I see between irl artists and web3 artists is that web3 artists don't seem to give a crap about their customer, the Collector.
Why do I say that?

As an artist, if you are using Goals as a way to advance your life or career, I am almost certain that you are not living up to your full potential.

, and there will be many shill threads, and much more empty ones. Here are just a few of my thoughts on how to spot empty threads so you don’t waste your time.
1. Read the content

I don't have the bandwidth yet to spend time on X and prefer to do it on weekends.

As an Artist, nothing is more important than your mojo.
If you find yourself thinking more about sales emails and shill threads, maybe it's time to detox.
Turn off social media, and focus on creating some amazing art, from the heart — energize your mojo 🌟

Many artists aspire to find commercial success, but are unable to do so. There are many reasons, but one that stands out is the unwillingness to follow rules.

I drive by the Archives several times a week and the same thought always pops in my head — can blockchain ever evolve to become a grand archive of Art for future generations like The Louvre or the Vatican Museum?
What do you think?
There is no direct connection between how many followers you have and how many people see your post.
For any given post, it might show up on the timeline for less than 0.5% of your followers. More if you have video content.
Then if these people engage meaningfully with
@artsiriano
I read them all carefully , so helpful and well said .
one of my problems is my posts. Somehow, don't go on others' timeline!
for example, a post with about 400 viewers, but i have 4000 followers!
"My art speaks for itself" ignores the cold, hard reality that 10,000 other artworks are also speaking at the same time.
In this space, you need to be the voice for your art.
Sales info. Not important.
Content. Not important.
Helping people "feel" your art. Ultra important.

Most of the replies ignored my question and said both — no help.
Many replies chose one or the other but provided no examples, data or reasoning (except a couple).

So far I found only one reply that follows the instructions. Thank you Coraline.
I would encourage everyone to look at the reply requirements again. I see some nice curations in the replies that go under the "ignores instructions" category and will therefore be skipped.

DON'T get creative with your submission.
