Bluesky

This past month I transitioned social media platforms from Instagram to Bluesky.

I haven't deleted my Instagram profile yet, because the platform is still industry standard for artists, but all activity about new work, announcements, and in progress shots will only be posted on Bluesky and in my newsletter dispatches going forward.

Here is the note I posted on Instagram on February 1st, 2025:

“Hey folks - This is my last post on this platform. This space has never been my favorite, but has gotten more problematic in the last year. As such, I made the decision to stop posting updates here. Because this platform is still industry standard for artists, I plan to keep my profile until it isn't needed anymore, but I won't be posting any regular updates or engaging with folks I follow. If you would like to stay in contact, the link in my profile will always be kept up to date. In that link you can find other ways to reach out and follow along with my work. The best option is to subscribe to my newsletter! I send about 8-10 newsletters a year. Thanks so much to all of you for the support you've given me here! I really appreciate it! I hope to see you all elsewhere on the internet. ❤️ Amanda

Here are a couple of recent posts on Bluesky for you all to enjoy:
