Podcast: Amber Nichole and Art TikTok
Amber Nichole (@ambernicholeee) joins the podcast this week!
We start off asking Amber if she feels too old for TikTok…as a twenty-year-old! Turns out, we’re not the only ones who are confused by TikTok trends sometimes.
We learn how she got started on the platform—performing musical theater and dances. Then she found her fellow artists and began creating content for the art community.
Her content ranges from funny inside jokes about artists to inspiring stories about starting your own business to fun videos just showcasing her personality.
TikTok led to Amber creating her own Etsy store and she continues to grow her art business through it!
Amber breaks down some really valuable TikTok algorithm tips and tricks for us. Hopefully Dena and I can capitalize on them.
Right now, her For You page is mostly Draco Tok:
But overall, it’s a mix of cosplay, theater, and art.
Art TikTok
Art TikTok is a side of TikTok where artists showcase their work, share inside jokes about being an artist, and connect with others in the art community.
Devon Rodriguez (@devonrodriguezart) is an NYC artist who posts TikToks of him drawing strangers on the subway.
Ruth Speer (@ruthspeer) shows us the evolution of her incredible portraits on TikTok.
Vanessa Stockard, with her famous black cat appearing in each painting, is one of Amber’s favorite artists.
Kate Hickman (@kathickmanart) creates gorgeous landscapes of national parks on TikTok.
Find Amber on TikTok and Instagram. And check out her Etsy store!
