'We want your submission for #BeachFiveADay! Send us 5 images, MP4's, anything - could be a look at an exhibition, promo for an event, a panorama, a book...anything! Please send submissions to info@beachlondon.co.uk'
Here are some examples of their posts featuring artists James Christopher & Raul Soria:
I thought I might as well submit some images to them to be in with a chance, it would be a pretty good opportunity to gain some exposure as they have over 21,000 instagram followers! Here are the five images I submitted to them alongside a short email:
I thought these 5 images demonstrated a few different parts of my practise, and I wanted to keep them all in the square format as I feel like this best suits instagram. I made sure to mention to them that there were different methods of image making involved, which were digital, 3D and screen prints. I send the image of my wood cut 3D figure first as this would probably be the image i'd want them to post as the first one.
I didn't think anything would come from it as i'm sure they get a lot of submissions daily, but a couple days later I got an instagram notification that they had posted my images!! I felt really excited as soon as I saw it as a lot of illustrators I really admire follow their account so there would be a possibility they would see my work! I'm sure they also have a lot of creatives following them so it was exciting that my work would be seen by this kind of audience.
Here is my post:
They tagged my instagram in their caption and also in each of the images they posted, which meant I actually gained quite a lot of followers from their post which is great. I think little instagram submissions like this are really good for illustrators trying to build up their instagram, as I'm sure a lot of the people who saw the post and followed me probably wouldn't have come across my account otherwise! Beach London also followed me which i'm super happy about.
