1000 Markets.....Artist Collective

I really love 1000Markets! I had my first sale there a few days ago and the transaction was very smooth. I really can't wait until the site is out of testing and live! (yes - you can join and you can shop. Only thing missing during this testing phase - as far as I can tell - is promotion)

I've decided to help that promotion along by featuring a few items each week. A few posts prior, I mentioned that I had been accepted to a new market at 1000Markets online sale venue. In keeping with the market theme - and to showcase the variety and specialties of 1000Markets - I'm going to do these features by market (in no particular order)!

Beginning with the Artist Collective Market, they're self-described as:

"Artists Collective began as a cooperative advertising campaign about a year ago for a few artists and myself. The original site can be found at http://www.artists-collective.com. Much like what the principle of how 1000 Markets was founded- that the sum is greater than the individual parts. We decided to pool our resources to purchase advertising space collectively. We could afford a larger ad together than what each individual artist could afford. Now a year later, we are expanding to 1000 Markets."

They've separated the artwork into categories: acrylic; oil; pastels, drawings, charcoal, etc.; and watercolor with media. Here are a few of my favorites - one from each category - from the Artist Collective Market:















"Through the Prism" Acrylic work by Amy Giacomelli, Fine Art by Amy Giacomelli (I've featured her before but I really do love her work!!)












"Phalaenopisis Orchid II" - Oil work by Kevin Aita, Aita Studios












"Contemplation - Man" - Graphite drawing by Reenie Kennedy, Originals by Reenie











"Spring Fever" - Watercolor by Rachel Parker, Fine Art by Rachel Parker


This should give you some incentive to head over to 1000Markets and shop around!! See you there!

Gorgeous items! I got my ring the other day and I love it! So classic and cool all in one.
I agree that the only problem with 1000 markets is that no one knows it exists. I am seriously hopeful about it though.

possibly (though most times NOT) related posts....
