Artists and user generated fanbase….ehhh…content

The web doesn’t just allow user generated content like fan movies or video responses. It can do much more than that and recently it’s causing a revolution in the comic and artistic world.

Finding a publisher is difficult….very difficult. You go through interviews, presentations, rejections, more rejections. Finally finding someone who will publish your material…….but not without a trial of only 200 copies of course, as a publisher you want to be on the safe side no?

But why all these rejections and trial versions while you can generate a huge fanbase and reputation on the world wide web? As a result more and more webcomics, art and creative pages are popping up some atracting millions of viewers every day! This creates another plus side, it makes it easier to find a publisher. Knowing the artist has a sound group of people around them, willing to buy their books or art. 

This is a good development. Art is becomming more digitalized anyway. As I see it the web gives artists a platform to make they’re work known to a much wider audience. It gives people surfing the web a broader perspective then just watching jackass type movies or mentos/cola light fountains,also it brightens my day. Art on the web is something that should be watched carefully, every year there are more and more great artist to be discovered  and pages like deviantart are booming. So if there’se one thing you should pay attention to in webskills it’s funnily enough….art.
