Working on the Social Media thing. Started a FaceBook fan page, AKAJake if you are interested. Become a fan!
I have no idea what to do with this fan page yet. Tomorrow evening I am supposed to have an “Intro to FaceBook” class – I am hoping to walk out of there a bit more clued in.
For example I really would like to have a snippet of my blogs appear in other places with a link, but I have no idea how to set that up. I did find my RSS feed address so at least I can link that.
Of course I have my “real job” to do and I am finding it had to make a balance and still move forward with intention. Still I must endeavor. 2010 will be the “Year of Marketing” for me because I have put it off too long and really need to figure it all out. Art is a real job too.
Anyway, I have about a million projects. OK it is actually less than that, but I stoop to hyperbole because sometimes it feels like that. Definitely got a few gators nibbling on my butt and the bosses just called down that the swamp draining project is on hold. 
One of those alligators is “the establish a distinctive style and / or thematic reference to make myself recognizable as an artist”-gator. Once I have this consistent style I will build a body of work based on that… and market it of course.
That is the battle plan.What is it they say about battle plans? Oh yeah, the don’t tend to survive first contact with the enemy.
Toward that end I painted something last Friday; I already have a bunch of variations on the theme in my head. I like it of course, but then again I tend to like all of my art more or less, but somebody else liked it too. It has already flown away to live in Wisconsin.

The ASCII Binary reads Twitter.com tweet. You can tell where my head is at. What do you think?
Alternatively, got any FaceBook Fan page or other social media tips? Love to hear from you.
