Hey

[dark-roses69.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this. I've been watching this community for a while, and I get that it's to help artists and those who work with them to spread the news so to speak. My main question is: Can any type of artist post on here, and do we need our own website?

I've done art in the past, and am currently into photography. I would love to be able to sell some pieces, make room, and bring in some funds. Thanks for your time! Amy

Yes, as long as the business model matches. The project needs to involve some kind of audience interaction and funding. The art medium doesn't matter. We have painters, photographers, writers, musicians, all kinds of different creators on here.

>> and do we need our own website? <<

No, although it's helpful to have some kind of platform for your work. People use personal websites, blogs, art hubs, auction sites, fundraiser sites, etc.

That sounds cool. Please keep us posted about your projects.
