Based on our March 3rd #GABFEST21 discussions I suggest using social media as a PR vehicle. YouTube and Instagram are great places to make contact and let people get to know you as an artist/ person. Establish relationships and interest in your projects will follow.

I hope each reader enjoys the story the humor and the absurdity of the situations. In general a smile is a gift, a laugh is a joy. #GABFEST21 There are plenty of sources of angst elsewhere.

I find satire and parody to be fun as well as slapstick. I like exploring situational behavior. There is plenty of interesting subjects that don't have to address razor edge social thinking. #GABFEST21

I don't disagree. But political or activist cartooning is only a very limited area of artistic expression. Politics and social evolution aren't the only places to focus. #GABFEST21

I think there may be confusion as to artistic expression and social activism. The is no law of art that says the artist must be an activist, that's a personal choice and comes with its own baggage #GABFEST21

In frustrating times it may benefit an artist to focus on improving their art skills or even to embrace new art forms or techniques to prevent anxious feelings #GABFEST21

Liability or responsibility. I feel an artist need to feel comfortable expressing themselves artistically. It is when you get political that you are treading on thin ice. #GABFEST21

If you insult the wrong people you can get shot, lynched or beheaded #GABFEST21

I am J.P. Keslensky co-creator of BugPudding along with my daughter Sara Bernstein at bugpudding.com #GABFEST21

I'm in either way. I appreciate your using tonight on this topic which I have been wanting to get ideas on how to proceed. And yes I am an old fart sometimes :) #GABFEST21

Let's stay at night if possible this was fun. But the majority should decide. #GABFEST21

A really good conversation tonight. #GABFEST21 Thanks Cone @conej for your expertise and advice.

Don't confuse statistics with results. That's why knowing your objectives first is critical. The stats are driving feedback so you miss hitting trees, your objective is arriving at your destination. #GABFEST21

The trick is to tickle interest or establish a relationship and then redirect the viewer. The mistake most of have been making is using SM to publish our actual product which defeats our real objective. #GABFEST21 Thanks Cone.

The ugly truth is they are always focused on ad revenue, they don't care about you unless you are paying them for ads, so your objective is to capture your viewers on your destination otherwise you are working for the SM company for free building their ad traffic #GABFEST21

That's a point we haven't discussed. There is a big question about what you giveaway on social media and what you reserve at your destination. #GABFEST21 It's like a carnival side show you get them interested they buy a ticket.

Totally get it. But the key is getting access to that kind of info. #GABFEST21

Not really, first you get the eyeballs, then you focus on converting them to regular readers by having a consistently good product / comic #GABFEST21

Everything starts with a great product or service. Without that all the marketing in the world is a waste. So step one is your product. Once you have that the task is to get people to your product. So and so forth #GABFEST21 But if you bring folks to a poor product you'll fail.
