I finally found out my most popular piece was saved by 80 people on Pinterest

I was just poking around my analytics dashboard and noticed that one sketch I did of a rainy street corner has quietly been getting shared way more than all my other work, has anyone else found a hidden stat that surprised them?

Did that rainy street corner get a lot more comments or just saves? I'm always curious if people are just bookmarking stuff to come back to or if it actually made them feel something worth typing about.

Whoa, 80 saves is actually a solid number for a single piece! It's wild how the stuff you least expect will take off, right? I had a similar thing happen where a quick doodle I did on a napkin somehow got way more traction than the paintings I spent weeks on. Sometimes I think it's because that rainy street corner sketch probably captures a mood or a feeling that people just can't put into words, and they want to hold onto it. It's like the algorithm or whatever knows what people need before you do.
