This Week: 9/9 through 9/15

Published on Sep. 8th 2007

Monday - Most artists sign their artwork on the front, in one of the bottom corners. I suppose it’s important in one sense (to let people know who the artist was) but tomorrow I’ll talk about why I don’t. Perhaps some of you will agree with my reasoning.

Tuesday - On Tuesday I’ll share some new information from BoundlessGallery.com. They’ve added some new features since I last reviewed them, along with pricing changes and even a special discount for EE readers. Don’t miss it!

Wednesday - Check back on Wednesday for this week’s featured artist, and remember to submit your own artwork if you’d like to be considered.

Thursday - AbsoluteArts.com is a website for artists that I’ve been wanting to review for a while now. I’ll cover their pricing and features on Thursday, and let you know how they compare to other art-selling websites I’ve looked at in the past.

Friday - There have been several recent articles submitted to EmptyEasel that support art prints and the art print market, but I know at least one artist out there has a different opinion. On Friday make sure to drop in and read what Karen Cooper has to say about prints vs. originals.

If you’d like your own opinion to be heard, don’t hesitate to write in.

This week's poll is on art prints and original artwork. Some artists are totally against making reproductions of their paintings, while other artists just want to sell prints of their work over and over again (and don't care that much about selling the originals.)
