tumblr is an awesome site for doing this honestly because we have readmores or even just hyperlinks where you can keep your little resource scrapbook if youre worried about aesthetics or whatever. the post format that integrates text + photos + hyperlinks in whatever arrangement you want encourages art habits like this. for other places its more restrictive and i can understand just wanting your art to be front and center, esp on bluesky or something similar that forces the grid style when you post multiple images, but in the case of a feed like that you can just… pop your sources into a reply!

wait sorry another thing. being curious about art is also a great way to find out if youre about to reblog an ai generated image. if youve researched klimts work and dug in deep to what hed previously done, youre more likely to have spotted that ai generated “i am not drunk” thing that circulated last winter attributed to him and recognized it as ai, etc etc etc. if you try to be aware of that sort of thing you can build skills to counter it that are based more in appreciation for the original artist than… you know, hypervigilant staring at every detail to try and spot a machine generated flaw.
