Perhaps you remember, perhaps not but back in last Summer I was working on The Book Of Art, which was a book designed to be a free advertising space for artists. [link][link] It had some small success but nothing large because I didn't have the budget to do anything large. I was over generous.
I have reevaluated my plans for the BOA and based on my work at the gallery and meetings with artists and agents. I'd like to revise the BOA into a complete catalogue, where customers may browse through the catalogue and order prints of any artwork they see withing that interests them. They'll be able to order the artwork as giclee (highest quality printing process available) or as a cheaper print. The profit from the prints will be divided into thirds, 2 thirds to artist, 1 third to me. So if the artist makes $20 I make $10. When the customer purchases a single print the artists profit would be between $10-$50 per print depending on the size and quality of the print sold (you get more for giclee sales cause the giclees have 100-200 year lightfastness rating, which is how long they should last under normal conditions so the customer should pay extra for the extra quality). For bulk purchases (when the customer buys 10, 25, 50 or 100 prints) you get between $3-$30 per print. Once I have have all the math worked out I'll post a complete price list detailing how much you get for what print.
This time in the BOA your contact info wont be included unless the artists purchases advertising space. I have to be reembursed for finding the buyer so it's not really fair if the buyer and artist can go behind my back and settle the deal themselves. If I find someone who wants an original or commission from you I'll let you know myself.
If you want to be pay of the BOA you don't have to create new artwork you can use artwork you've perviously as long as you have high res files and you own 100% of the copyright (Note: you'll still own the copyright when you put your art in the BOA, your just giving me permission to use the art for the BOA via contract). Just show me any artwork you'd like to contribute (there's no minimum or maximum to how many pieces of artwork you'd like to use.)along with an email address and if I am interested I'll ask you to read the contract. If you agree with the contract you sign it, send it to me, I sign it, send it to you, you don't have to give me your high res files until you get a contract with my signature on it.
