Hi everyone—today Zac and I are unveiling a brand new look for Foliotwist.com, and we’d love for you to head over and check it out! As many of you already know, Foliotwist provides simple, effective websites for artists. Instead of trying to build websites for everyone (and trying to BE everything to everyone) we decided to build Foliotwist just for artists. This goes opposite to...
As promised last Sunday, today we’re unveiling our brand new online gallery for buying original artwork—NUMA Gallery! The name was inspired by combining the first syllables...
Editor’s note: As of 2017, we’ve closed down our online art gallery. Feel free to read through this post anyway to get ideas, inspiration, and more....
Today’s update will be fairly short, but—as promised—I do want to make sure that all of you know where we’re at with the new EmptyEasel art gallery. That said, if this is the very first time you’re hearing about an EE gallery, PLEASE head over and read our previous announcement—I think you’ll be very interested. :) The big news that I have to share today...
As most of you already know, for the past month we’ve been working on a plan to create an online art gallery where EmptyEasel readers can...
The results of the survey are in. . . and to all of you who participated in our survey this month, thank you! As you may...
At EmptyEasel, our goal has always been to make art more accessible. . . Whether you’re an artist researching techniques to take your creativity to new levels, an art lover exploring every facet of this multi-faceted world, or a collector looking for that next must-have artwork, we just want to make art simple. So this year we’ve decided to try something new, and we’d love...
At EmptyEasel we LOVE getting reader-submitted articles. In fact, some of our best posts were written by people just like you—regular readers who simply wanted to...
Sorry, this contest has ended! Please check out PleinAirCo if you’d like more information about these easels. As we hinted at earlier this week, today we’re...
Buying art supplies is always going to be a big expense for artists. . . we know that from our own experience, and we hear it all the time from other artists, too. And unfortunately, that leaves most artists with a tough choice: You either spend a lot of time waiting for deals and driving around to different art supply stores to save money, OR...
Notice anything different about EmptyEasel lately? That’s right, it’s snowing! Up by the big “e” logo. :) And that means it’s time for our annual Holiday Artwork Extravaganza!
Hey everybody! Just thought I’d leave a quick note here to say that the Foliotwist relaunch this morning went about as smoothly as we could have asked for. Head on over to Foliotwist.com to check it out
Congratulations are in order for a fellow blogger today. . . Chris Guillebeau’s first book, The Art of Non-Conformity, has been published! You may remember Chris from his Unconventional Guide to Art & Money
Every so often (a few times a year, perhaps) someone will write me a nasty email accusing me of being a greedy money-grubber because of who I allow - or who I don't allow - to advertise on EmptyEasel
Well, folks, 2009 is at an end. . . and I for one, am very excited for the new year. I don’t have a long post ready for today, but I do want to whet your appetite for some of the things that are coming up
It’s that time of year again, folks! The holiday season is here, Christmas is just around the corner, and EmptyEasel is looking for your contributions! And by contributions, I don’t mean money. :)
This week I'm very excited to announce the addition of two more writers to EmptyEasel's permanent writing staff - Gordie Carver and Renee Phillips. You'll get to know both of them over the coming months, but in the meantime, here's a short introduction
As many of you know, over the past few weeks I’ve been going through a lot of applications to find some additional permanent writers for EmptyEasel.com. Today I’m very pleased to announce two more writers/artists who will be joining the writing staff at EE
Wow. Two years. . . Not a long time in the grand scheme of things, but it still seems like a lifetime ago that I first installed onto my shared hosting plan and began writing to the world.
