We are a San Francisco start-up, and we’re building a website community for artists. The site will allow artists to upload original artwork to our site for others to view. It will also allow artists to blog about their work, their inspiration, their mediums, etc. Users can come to the site and order the artwork printed onto a t-shirt. For each t-shirt sold, the artist will make a commission. We think this is a great opportunity for artists to make some money off of work they’ve already done!
The site is marketed toward the skateboard/snowboard/punk crowd. So, we’re seeking artwork in graphic, anime, and graffiti-inspired styles.
Important notes:
1) We will not own, control, or have any exclusive rights to your artwork. You created it, so it is yours entirely and you will forever be free to resell it in any venue you wish. All we want to do is make cool t-shirts and support artists.
2) Our site will launch in about 2 weeks. If you submit something to us, all you need to do is email me your graphics, and we’ll upload it ourselves to test the site. In the future, however, it will be easy for artists to upload their art themselves.
3) We plan to do a fair amount of marketing to support our launch. We have a Facebook app that’s going to launch at the same time and we have some other websites that will promote us, so hopefully, we’ll get some bzzzzz for ya.
4) We’re still in a test phase, so please don’t get too upset if things don’t work perfectly from day one. We’re committed to making this idea work, and we hope you’ll trust us.
5) If you have an existing blog, we have a feature that will allow you to feed your blog content directly into our site, so you won’t have to manage two separate sites.
6) Our t-shirts will be printed on American Apparel shirts (100% sweatshop free!) in full color and on a range of different colors.
