Digital Artists Handbook 

Dear Adam,

 

I’m writing to give you a preview of folly’s new and valuable resource:
the Digital Artists Handbook, which is now live at
www.digitalartistshandbook.org. folly believe the Handbook makes a
serious contribution to free/libre open source culture, and adds a
crucial and empowering new perspective to media arts. We’re pleased to
announce today that the Handbook is ready to go public – thanks to the
sterling work of its editors Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes De Valk of
GOTO10. In the collaborative spirit of the handbook, we would really
love your help in promoting it. 

 

In the next week, it would be great if you could blog it, link to it,
sell it (only figuratively speaking of course!), and promote it far and
wide. Tell your friends, your colleagues, and the people you come into
contact with that there's a new book for digital artists that could
potentially change their life, or at least their practice.As part of a
collaborative effort to promote the handbook, we’d love you to link to
us from your website and we’ve even created a handy little button that
you can use. Just visit http://www.digitalartistshandbook.org/?q=node/32
to view the code and the Digital Artists Handbook button. We hope your
website or blog will wear the badge with pride, and of course in return
we’d be delighted to host a reciprocal link to your site or blog on the
Digital Artists Handbook site. Because the handbook hasn’t been launched
so far we’re not top of the search ratings for “digital artists
handbook” yet, so anything you can do to link to and promote the site
would be highly appreciated. Do write back to me or our Communications
Coordinator Matt Wootton at matt.wootton at folly.co.uk and let us know
what page of your own site you would like us to reciprocally link to.

 

We will send another email in a week’s time for a full public launch,
which will hopefully be useful for you to forward news of the Handbook
on to your email contacts.

 

Happy reading!

 

Best wishes

 

 

Kathryn Lambert
