As established before my social networking names are the same as the one chosen for my domain name, as I feel it is important to link in this personal and professional link, showing people you are not a robot and aren't constricted to a set of rules. This doesn't mean I am going to be crazy and inappropriate when online, it just means that I use my twitter and instagram accounts to show people my creative process and how it reflects me personally. It is said the best artists blogs, twitters and instagrams are the personal ones as the internet can take away what it means to be human, you hide behind this technology. By being playful and personal allows people to connect with you, what you stand for and what your saying at a lot higher level than a uniformed this is the facts layout. This style also reflects in my writing, especially in my film reviews and blog of which I have seen can be successful way of working, especially for me as a person.
However this being said an artist website needs to be like a CV, that little more uniformed and professional, but also with a personal touch that should reflect your practice. In comparing the way I behave on social networks will be a lot less restrained than the way I act and portray myself in my artist website. In this I decided to avoid linking my social networking in with my website for the above reason in the same way you wouldn't put a link to your facebook on your CV, but also another reason being it will look visually messy with adding too much. I have, as mentioned above used the same names throughout so that upon searching people are still able to find all of these link and decide upon themselves what it is they are looking for.
