Artists Internet Resources and Self Promotion

Hi!

I am new to Art Calendar but have been on other Internet art sites and would like to share them with this community. You may wish to join them yourself.

Online art communities-

My favorite art community thus far is Redbubble. This site is new less then one year old and out of Australia but has become a global site. It is like deviantart.com http://aynanonnamus.deviantart.com/

but with a much stronger community of artist. They print and sell your work for you. (although you make much more printing and selling your work yourself )here is the URL for Red Bubble

Talent data base is a great site for exposure and has an online magazine Talent Speaks. COM with featured artists  Here is the URL for them.

Portfolio Web site development-

I have done an enormous amount of research before I chose the company which I created my professional web site. There are many companies out there. I chose Impact folios. They have been wonderful to work with and so helpful and the price is very reasonable. They have e-commerce features to sell your work yourself through your web site which is key. http://www.impactfolios.com/website_design/

I hope this information is helpful to you and good luck in marketing your work online!
