I drew the image above almost seven months ago, but it feels more fitting today than it did then. In the last week, Instagram went from being just a popular iPhone photo app to becoming the most popular photo sharing tool the world has ever seen.
A few days ago they released an Android phone version and just yesterday Facebook bought them for one billion dollars. They boast well over 30 million users and now with Facebook on their side, I expect that number will quickly double.
Like any huge network that hosts people sharing things, you get a lot of crap. A lot of garbage that finds its way onto the “popular” page too. If that’s your objective, follow the steps above and you’ll get there sooner rather than later. But if you ache for the creative and the inspired, I’ve been putting a list together of some really cool artists that hang out and share what they’re working on.
It’s a good resource if you’re just joining the community and I expect to be adding more along the way (feel free to share it with others). You can find parts one, two and three here and while on Instagram, stay in touch, follow me by searching OKAT or DOODLERS.
