Thanks for that. You have given me an idea...
My ArtWanted.com premium account was due for renewal and, with money being a bit tight at the moment, I was seriously thinking of letting it lapse. But your articles got me to thinking...
There is at least one artist member of these Forums who uses his account here to promote prints of his work that are for sale on various other websites. And that is absolutely fine by me! ArtFreaks.com aims to please, wherever it can be of use to any artist - professional or purely amateur. So I got to thinking, maybe I ought to start using this site for my own benefit too! And why not?!!!
ArtWanted.com have a print program for their premium members. Images can be printed on many different kinds of things - not just high quality paper. Artists and photographers can upload high resolution images of their work and these can be reproduced on all kinds of things that people can buy:
Buttons, Coasters, Playing Cards, Desk Organizers, Mugs - just to name a few! AW handle the billing, printing and shipping of the items. All the artists has to do is to upload their images, select the print program - and wait for the money to start coming in.
Well let's see if that one works for me!
Even better... Artists can sell their originals through AW too!
Thanks again for giving me the idea...
