An Albanian artist who lives in Greece was inspired by a female artist from the UK. He uploaded a photo with her portrait amongst abstract colors and lines. The title was her name and underneath it said "inspired by her work."
The female UK artist was inspired and wrote a lengthy comment on the painting saying how overwhelmed and happy she was. The other users commented on the page recognized her name and asked if she knew about it and if she had seen it yet. The artist revealed it was a surprise for her.
This shows how tight knit of a community PIL is amongst the frequent users. Artists recognize each other's artistic style, name, and identity. They also are inspired by one another.
After the picture was posted, the female UK artist commented on other users pictures. With her comment she said something like- have you seen the new picture by Argon (the Albanian artist) yet? Check it out! It was self promotion and promotion for the other artist as well.
