Pink Flamingos

Pink Flamingo Graphics

If you followed my evolution on learning new programs in connection with Digital Art – especially as I described HERE at the beginning of this month, then my “Pink Flamingo Magic” is the continuation of the simple topic or ‘job’ I had given myself: to create a landscape consisting of different planes (eg. the sea, the sky, the desert rock alternating with desert sand), 2 mountains and the integration of a lake.

Digital Fantasy Art

As you saw, the digital pictures start looking like something that fits well into the category “Digital Fantasy Art” and obviously there are many different versions for different tastes and purposes. This aspect… to be able to duplicate and alter, albeit slightly – differentiates Digital Art so clearly from traditional Fine Arts, although there are some similarities with fine engravings… I recall regularly diversifying my Artwork at the time when I focused a lot on artistic print making – including lithography with real heavy stones.

Gosh, where did those times go…? Today it’s all about a mouse, a pen, a tablet, a keyboard and a screen – amazing!

Besides I started working with a new digital tablet and a digital pen… and I admit having to struggle to adapt my normally wide gestures to the relatively small area of operation (BAMBOO tablet). I feel like a tennis player on a ping pong table and I hit limitations  more often than I lik. However, it’s all a matter of finetuning the settings of the tool and then: practice, practice, practice!

Pink Flamingo Pictures on Google

Our research this morning gave us some interesting insights on one hand and an overwhelming amount of GOOGLE Top 10 positions for our YORGOO Publishing Network as a whole, based on yesterday’s article focusing entirely on “pink flamingos”.

I am continuously surprised as to how many searches and returns there actually are on even the most ridiculous keyword – eg. pink hamsters at the time.

So the lesson from here is that each niche keyword is of interest to us if it resides within our targeted environment – and what seems to be tiny and rather ‘negligeable’ right now may soon enough develop into a major keyword. Then it’s important to occupy a top ranking position – so we’ve got to work on it now in order to position ourselves where we want to be seen later.

So the crucial question always is: where do I want to be seen – where would potential customers look for me, i.e. what would they type into the Google Search Engine to find me?

In that sense my “Pink Flamingo Digital Art” is currently positioning itself for those interested in exactly that.
