The Artcast Network
I’ve created a new site called the Artcast Network, and I’m inviting all you art lovers out there to go give it a visit!
If you’ve followed my work for awhile, you know that for the past year I’ve been broadcasting my work on my Ustream channel. I create various sketches and illustrations live while viewers chat with me and ask questions about art (or movies and TV, which is where the conversation usually goes ;)).
Anyway, as time has gone by, I’ve noticed more and more artists starting their own channels. I personally found it very hard to keep track of who was broadcasting and when. That’s when I came up with the idea for the Artcast Network.
So here’s the gist:
What is the Artcast Network?
The Artcast Network is a directory of artists who broadcast LIVE via web streaming services like Ustream, Livestream, or Justin.tv. On the site, you can find a variety of shows that feature drawing, painting, or artist interviews. The artists work and chat while the audience can interact with them in real time.
The site also features a beginner’s guide and a forum if you want to learn more about artcasting.
Who can be listed on the Artcast Network?
ANYONE. The only requirements are that your show is a live stream of some sort (not a pre-recorded podcast), and it is related to art in some way. To submit your channel, just fill out the form on the Submissions page. I will post it as quickly as possible.
How can I find an artcast to watch?
Lots of ways!
-
Search by keyword or tag to find a specific style or genre of art.
-
Browse the list of Featured Shows, handpicked by me.
-
Browse the shows rated highest by fans.
-
View the site calendar to find shows by date and time.
-
Search for the tag #artcast on Twitter.
-
Visit the Screening Room every Wednesday at 9 PM ET to see a different show featured each week.
I have more features and ideas planned for the future, and I’m open to suggestions from all of you. I’m looking forward to watching the site grow over the next year.
