Monday in Selling Art Online - BoundlessGallery has just added some new features to their website, both for artists and art buyers. Tomorrow I’ll share what those new features are and why they’re important.

Thursday in General Art Advice - Nancy Hodge has sent in a rather creative and unusual way of re-using your old works of art—if you’ve got a stash of unfinished or unwanted artwork under your bed, this article’s for you.

Friday in Artist Polls - Do you have an “advertising budget” for selling your art? Why or why not? Let us know by casting your vote, or just drop in and see what other artists are saying. I’ll post the results and a short analysis on Friday.
