• I love knowing and learning about people around the world displaying my art online. Also, it's how I learn about new artists that are in various parts of the world.

I also like, when I search for my art and it says, "see also or related artists," and I see those other artists that relate to me, at least according to the internet. I think it's fascinating - it's interesting to see hashtags people are using in relation to my work. It's another tool of communication.
