Grownup Art on the net ...?

Great Illustration by Luis Quiles
I'm getting less convinced that good art on social networks get correctly noticed, perhaps noticed at all...

I'm defintely not an expert or even a frequent denizen of the social web, yet posting a bit of tumblr I am largely unwatched and on twitter and flickr there are regular/friends who leave comments, Outside this I see that my more intimate sketches are popular and get reposted without attribution (aka Stolen), but little other interest. So this is a bit self-indulgent and presumes I think my art is ...well worthwhile art.
It might not be but...

It is perhaps time for me to start drawing attention to what I consider original and good art floating around the net. I'll start with the Spanish illustrator Luis Quiles

don't blame the messenger



this is a promotional clip from a new ABC/tripleJ program called the Hack Halfhour, you can download a vodcast of the first show here ... i think whilst it may not answer all the questions ...it does ask the right questions ...what is the implication of "sharing" personal stuff about our lives on-line ...it is a complex issue and yes there are dangers, but there is so much to gain ...instead of hysteria about youtube being responsible for the finish school shooting (btw it wasn't youtube it was the gunman that killed!) we urgently need more open discussion about what powerful tools social network gives us today ... tools that can be used to solved the many problems that face our society today
