I got alerted to this article by an artist friend about Artists taking paintings to the masses; it makes a lot of sense.  I wrote about this subject earlier on Webmetricsguru.com, inspired by a Seth Godin post titled ”Raveling“.

“This isn’t a post about blogging or myspace or even etsy. Instead, it should be proof to you that the whole thing is raveling (which means the same as unraveling, in case you were curious). That all the systems that kept all the processes in place and leveraged mature industries and experienced players are slowly (or quickly) filtering to the masses. Faster than you thought it would happen.”

Not saying you should just sell your work online - but being open to it, that makes sense and it does work for some artists.

I’m going to try to make it over to the Journal Gallery tonight for this show by Tim Barber and if I make it I’ll have something more to write about, later.
