Drawn on Twitter!

twitterlogo.png

We just set up a Twitter account for Drawn!

We’ll keep the feed updated with new posts from the site and fun illustration links that aren’t quite heavy enough for the blog.

Also a few of us have been twittering away for a while now. Here are our personal Twitter accounts. We tweet mostly about illustration, but sometimes Luc tweets about his dog.

Adam Koford
Jared Chapman
John Martz
Luc Latullipe
Matt Forsythe
And, (reluctantly) Ward Jenkins

And here are a bunch more illustrators on Twitter that we follow.

AppleScruffs
Danielle Corsetto
David Huyck
Dean Trippe
Fantagraphics Books
Garth Bruner
Jeff Andrews
John Ralston
Karl Kerschl
Lar De Souza
Liondart
Mark Pilon
Meg Hunt
Pat Lewis
Paul Howalt
Penelope Dullaghan
R Stevens
Rik Catlow
Scott Kurtz
Von Glitschka
Warren Ellis

    For those of you on the fence about Twitter, I know where you’re coming from: When I first signed up for it over a year ago, I just sort of stared at it and though “Oh brother. What’s this crap now?” and promptly forgot about it. But in the past few months, I’ve taken to it in earnest.

    WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT CHARLIE BROWN?

    Think of it as “chat-meets-blogging-meets-email” (it’s referred to as micro-blogging). Or better yet, as Matt once suggested, think of it as your own virtual “office water-cooler.” Ask your illustrator for tips on solving a problem in Photoshop; post a little brain fart; share some shortcut you learned using Illustrator; or whine about the weather. It’s all good.

    Basically, stuff that’s not really substantial enough to post to one’s own blog, is exactly the stuff that fits perfectly well on Twitter.

    HOW DO YOU POST TO TWITTER?

    You can post “tweets” from your mobile phone, use Twitter’s web interface, or download a desktop app from this hefty list: http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps

    Most Mac users use Twitterrific, Spaz, or Snitter (those last two require you to download Adobe’s AIR platform, which, I find, is too resource-intensive for my old G4). Firefox users can add the Tweetbar plugin. PC users: the link above has lots for you too, but I’m not in-the-know about which is best.

    Any more questions, post them here. We’ll do our best to answer them. :)

    I agree with Luc– Twitter is best when it’s like a virtual water cooler. I’ve gone through the list and added a few illustrators hoping I can learn a thing or two from the pros (I’m currently getting into freelance illustration as a side thing for my day job). Feel free to add little ol’ me

    Since I get by without a cell phone I hadn’t bothered with Twitter. I also wondered how much I’d like it/use it, given the demands on my time now that I’m back in school. But you have all just inspired me to join the borg….
