A five-minute @igniteboulder presentation on how I ended up sharing over a million pieces of art on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. Thanks for following the #artbots and supporting me on this crazy ride!
LOL, Paul Gaugin wasn't a fan of Vincent's yellow "Shit, shit, everything is yellow: I don't know what painting is any longer!"
Vincent van Gogh, Wheatfield with a Reaper, 1889
Vincent Van Gogh tried to convince his brother Theo to become a painter, he wrote “If you hear a voice within you saying ‘You are not a painter’, then by all means paint, boy, and that voice will be silenced”. It did not work on Theo but I hope it works on you 😉
As a way of coping with alarming news from Tehran and Washington, I made the Arts of Iran @IranArtBot account. I hope this #artbot reminds us of how much we have in common... #NoWarWithlran#IranianArt
