Report from Bluesky
Two Coats of Paint left Instagram/META this month. Here's some of the content you've missed over on our new social media platform Bluesky.
At the Two Coats of Paint account we kicked off our transition from Instagram to the new Bluesky social media platform by putting together some lists, called “Starter Packs,” of art people who have also embraced the new platform.
Two Coats put together a list of other people you’d like to hang out with at an opening —> @twocoatsofpaint.com
We promoted our latest articles published on Two Coats of Paint, too. At Bluesky, unlike Insta, you can link to specific articles and other websites in the post — we’ll never have to urge you to see the Link in Profile again.






Dublin and Cork have good exhibitions on view, even in dreary January, and I’ve been posting about them both on the Two Coats of Paint account and my personal Sharon Butler account. Both accounts, btw, are inching up toward 2000 followers, which is stunning growth for a two week period.




And, of course, I’ve been posting images of my own work.
I hope this modest report, which really doesn’t capture the excitement and excellent posting I’ve seen by all the other artists and arts writers, will entice you, dear reader, to come join us at Bluesky. As you'll see in the Starter Packs, a slew of artists, galleries, publications, writers, and curators are already there.

I followed you onto Blue Sky yesterday. Thanks for the encouragement. After all I am a big fan of blue skies 💙!
I left IG and have not used FB. I need to delete. I was hacked on IG and they were posting video clips of naked women on my 12 yo grandson’s private page under my name, they also got into my email and text messaging. I got zero help from meta and couldn’t even delete my acct. I was only able to cancel my acct by having numerous people report it. I have never used Amazon, I go directly to the company I want to order from and I stopped reading WAPO. I loathe all these billionaire bros.
