# For Artists — Get in Touch

If you make generative work and you're curious about PD — whether you want to
be considered, or you just want to ask a question before deciding — this is the
page that tells you where to send it.

**How:** DM [brendonrell](https://x.com/brendonrell) on X — the only channel, no form.

## Every artist relation runs through X

**All artist relations are handled on Twitter/X, by direct message in XChat.**
That is deliberate, and it is the only channel: no submission form, no inbox to
apply through, no queue to sit in.

Send it to **[brendonrell](https://x.com/brendonrell)** — the founder's own
account, not the platform account. That is the desk artist relations run from,
so a DM there reaches the person who runs the filter directly, with nothing in
between. The platform account,
[pricediscussion](https://x.com/pricediscussion), is where PD speaks publicly;
it is not the way in.

The practical consequences worth knowing:

- **Anything else is slower, not faster.** A reply in a comment thread, a post
  tagging either account, or a message through another platform's chat can be
  missed. The DM is the channel that gets read.
- **It is a conversation, not an application.** Questions are welcome before
  anything formal — what PD is, whether your work fits, how the economics work,
  what the timeline looks like. Nobody expects a pitch on the first message.
- **Nothing you send is public.** The conversation stays between you and the
  platform, and so does the fact you had it. See
  [What's Private](/docs/whats-private).

## What to say first

Keep the opening short. Two or three lines is plenty:

- **Who you are** and where your work has been shown.
- **A link to the work** — a site, a profile, a gallery of outputs.
- **What you're after** — a question, a conversation, or consideration for a
  Project.

If the conversation turns toward a Project, the full brief comes next —
[Submit a Project](/docs/for-artists/submit-a-project) lists exactly what that
brief contains, and it is worth reading before you write it.

## What happens after

The first message opens the conversation; nothing is decided in it. From there
it goes one of the ways described in
[Submit a Project](/docs/for-artists/submit-a-project) — proceed, not yet, or
not a fit — each of them delivered directly, with a reason.

There is also a second door that doesn't start with a DM at all: every
whitelisted PD artist holds **two vouch slots** and can put you forward from
their Studio. A vouch lands on the founder's desk and opens the same
conversation.
