Default Can you all try help my painting go viral (Twitter)?
Hope this is okay to ask, but this is a cheeky request to anyone who uses Twitter.

Basically, I've done an oil painting of Mike Tyson that I finished last week and am really proud of it, I've only been painting a year and have surprised myself with this.

What I'd love to do is try, TRY and get some steam behind it on Twitter and hopefully, eventually have it reach the man himself. It's not impossible as I've seen, but is very hard - worth a try though! At the same time I should hopefully get a bit more of a following on there which is greatly needed to try and get more eyes on my work.

If any of you would like to help me out then please RT the below Tweet of the painting featuring my lovely niece.



Please help if you can. Thank you!!

Unfortunately I do not use Twitter anymore, otherwise I would definitely help you out.

That is an incredible piece that you should be proud of, though.

I could give it a signal boost with the TIBB Twitter. Do you mind having it mentioned that you are member of this forum?

I did my first ever painting (oil painting) last Summer.

Before that I’d never painted, just drawn. Total beginner with it.

You should stream yourself painting/drawing on twitch. Keep at it and the viewers will come, it could lead to all sorts of openings and opportunities for you. Worth a try.

Write in Red Paint, "All Lives Matter" and then you might be in with a shot of it going viral.

I will do it Lala I have an old Twitter account I rarely use but will happily post this ,but just to add I have sent paintings to celebs and got many responses ,so maybe try the direct approach by sending it to him ,you can do special delivery so it's safe it may cost a little more but well worth the effort, it's a fabulous painting so i am sure you would get a response .also make prints of it. Good luck. All done Lala.

I don't use twitty but it's a great painting . You could try spamming it around on Reddit/Imgur etc. if you haven't already.
