I liked the red stickers on some of the Bankside images!<br /><br />Artists who have been selling online for some time learned long ago the importance of the image quality and how accessible it is. I guess at the end of the day it all finally depends on how much people want to sell art!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-59243599413315066292014-04-01T10:16:02.082+00:002014-04-01T10:16:02.082+00:00Perhaps there is a deliberate policy here to make ...Perhaps there is a deliberate policy here to make the public feel they must see shows in the flesh because on line is such a struggle....... just a thought.theartistsdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226003809268986249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-81560597950255941052014-04-01T03:39:41.415+00:002014-04-01T03:39:41.415+00:00Yeah, it is perplexing how slow some art societies...Yeah, it is perplexing how slow some art societies and galleries are slow to learn or figure out what is seemingly so obvious to us all.<br /><br />I get impatient with poor quality images and especially having to click too many times to arrive at a large image, and worse, if I have to click my way back out!<br />And on touch screens, like iPads etc., too many clicks can be a nightmare!<br />If it is too much work to see the art I leave.<br /><br />I see a lot of online announcements for shows that are 'static' announcements only. Even after a show opens some remain static.<br />No images at all? In a visual business?<br />They should realize that, as a marketing tool, that may very well draw buyers in if it works well, or not....<br /><br /> David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-8521970816257640632014-03-31T23:32:32.437+00:002014-03-31T23:32:32.437+00:00Thanks for the compliment on my drawings, katherin...Thanks for the compliment on my drawings, katherine. I look forward to seeing the book when it comes out. Northlight do a good job of promoting their books to the artist community here in the USA. Enjoy the shows this week. I wish I could get over to be at the mall galleries tomorrow. Best wishes, matMathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460198692930812177noreply@blogger.com
