Back On Track

April 7th, 2021

Back On Track

WOW, it has been quite the year, and if I thought 2021 was going to be more peaceful, think again lol.

So much has happened since the beginning of the year, that I forgot to update my CC, so if you found my gallery offline the last few weeks, that is the reason.

I actually had a website I ordered a 16 dollar sample from the beginning of February, begin taking 99 dollars a month out of my card not even a full 3 weeks later...
Thank goodness I caught it before another cycle went by. In any case, I thought I had updated everyone I was paying out to, but I forgot my gallery, and only noticed it today. I don't think I ever received a warning message, but oh well, I am back now.

I realize I have not uploaded anything new for the year, and must change that. I had opened a new store last year, creating and selling planners, journals, coloring books and more, plus creating some white label products others can use commercially or resell as their own.

Because I have been so inundated, I may be looking for some folks to take over one or all of the groups, I will have to think on whether I will actually have the time to keep ahead of it.

Hope you all had a great Easter, I am looking forward to what Spring and Summer have to offer!

Allons-y,
Angela

Join Octobers Artist Blog Hop

The Artist Train for October is ready to take off October 1st at midnight.

Get your best work ready to add to the submissions list found at the Artist Blog Train
https://artistsblogtrain.blogspot.com/

You will be able to submit your best work through the month of October, and I ask that
those of you that have blogs and websites that allow code, to grab the code and place it on your sites
for a lot more traffic, and to help promote artists. All links clicked open in a new window, so
you won't lose any traffic, but you will probably gain some, especially as we continue doing this every month.
If you can not add the train codes, a link back to the Artist Blog would be appreciated (link above)

Submissions will close at the end of every month, but the train links will stay active indefinately, so your art will
always be there for anyone to visit. By the way, submissions for September are still open if you want to add
something asap, and will close in another 2 days!

Tips for writing your artist statement

March 29th, 2016

Tips for writing your artist statement

Keep it simple: Write your statement in a language that’s easy to understand and read. Don’t use technical terms you learned in art school, but everyday language that can be understood by the average person that appreciates your art.

Not too long: Keep it to one page, three to five paragraphs of three to five sentences. Provide basic information such as why you make your art, what inspires you to create, what’s unique about your work and what successes have you had.

Make “I” statements: Your statement should be written in first person. Talk about what your art does for you and not how your readers are suppose to feel.

Avoid comparing yourself to other artists: If you have an artist that’s been an influence, that’s great, but don’t make repeated statements such as “Like Picasso I do this”. Your best bet is leaving other artists out of your statement and let your fans decide who you remind them of.

Not all artists can write: If you are really having trouble putting your artist statement together, then reach out to someone for help. There are many freelance writers out there that have experience in writing them and can create just what you need.

New Ways to Feature Your Art

New Ways to Feature Your Art

This group is for Featuring FFA Artists and the DSC FFA Artists Blog Trains Only!

We will use this group for group discussions about our features on the blog.

The blog for this project is specifically to help promote FAA and the artists involved.

NOTE: When this project first started, the requirements to participate were different and have now been revised.
You are no longer required to give anything away, the only rules are to add a link to the blog where the Artists Featured Work
will reside. The features will change and rotate weekly, and the blog train will leave the depot monthly.

Please read the threads in our discussion area for all the info and join to participate and to ask questions.

Digital Product Explosion

Digital Product Explosion

What's Your Story?

I am very amazed at how I overlooked using my digital camera, and my love for visual arts and media, as a tool for selling or earning a living. I have seen so many visual artists display their awesome works all over the internet for some time now, and while creating digital art myself, I was so wrapped up in other forms of "marketing", I completely did not see the forest for the trees.

One day a bell rang while I was creating yet another fansite for a close friend. While my experience at this form of art is not nearly at the level of some, it ain't bad, as one would say ;)

To make a longer story short, I began researching, and experimenting with different platforms, and ideas to sell my own works. Some of those platforms are fabulous, while some are so so, and others still, are just not worth the time (and money) to get someone like me, and countless others started. You see in this world today, the majority are just struggling to stay afloat. I for one certainly do not have any "extra" cash to invest in buying store software or hosting, (I bought hosting for 8 years to support my music and other projects, but that became far too costly), nor can I afford to pay a website platform aka marketplace, to add my shop items, and pay for each listing upfront, regardless of a sale or not (Etsy, Ebay).

I will not bash any platform, but some are just better than others. This is one reason, while I am still experimenting with platforms, and most likely always will, you can and will currently find art and other digital items I have available in several places.
