ArtRave has bee promoting artists for years including the PODs [print-on-demand] sites these artists belong to and have stores/shops at.
You can find so many beuatiful and unique customizable items for gift giving, home making, office and family items. You can choose from the many artists associated with ArtRave or you can upload your own special pictures and create works of art for your family and friends.
ArtRave tests all products and those listed as samples are actually made of the artworks done by me, Ave Hurley, so this is a new way for you to collect my artwork at discounted prices!
For years I wanted to find a way to help emerging artists online to be able to better promote and sell their art and the biggest issue was base prices of the PODs along with pirating of art in which some of these PODs 'accidentally' selll our art and forget to tell us~! [ like ArtWanted.com did to me~]This has happened to me personally as well as when PODs change or upgrade their systems, I find it curious that seem to manage to bump our roaylty commission bases back down to 10% or less and while we may think an item will sell giving us our deserved 33% we find after a sale our commission may be under 5% { true story as with Cafe Press and all my recent sales ]
PODs are interested in selling their products regardless to whose art is on it and feel they just can pay us a penny and be in the clear about profiting from our work~!
This seems to be a growing trend, as one POD gets away with it then then next one does similarly and before we know it we are waiting years to receive any money from our art~!
Many have now upped their payout minimums so you can not collect your royalty til you reach $100 which might not seem like alot until you realize they are only paying you between 5-10% meaning more than $500 of products have to be sold with your art before you see a penny~! Could be a lifetime for some~
Since this is a growing problem, I have set out to find a manufacturer to deal with that will allow the artist their due and not rip them off and I now own a distributor site called
Formerly called www.ArtRAveSuperCenter.com and now easier to remember as http://Art2Do.com is where I offer printable products including some of my own art and a do it yourself print service at manufacturer's cost, saving artists and other clients alot of money on printing.
My only rule is that all art is family friendly and suitable for all viewing audiences and ages, since we all know by going online that nearly every site out there has less than suitable adult content and so we vie for the market of those not wanting to expose themselves or their children to such adult themes.
We dont allow any form of nudity, no matter how arguably artistic, no partial nudity, nothing violent or socially controversial, nothing negative. Our artists know that we are catering to a moral majority or conservative audience, which makes us smaller perhaps, but more exclusive as well.
You can come and browse through my art products, my artists store lists to see their art products and you can browse through the do it yourself projects and use our online editing to help make your project complete. You can even post it for sale if you like with or without opening a store.
So I invite you to check out the Art2Do.com. I am fairly certain, you will be glad you did :) Ave
