PRINTPOP.COM

No more having to make your prints on a home printer. No more paying "Print Houses" to print your artwork and charge you so much that you have to mark them up to a price no one would be willing to pay. Printpop.com is here!

Printpop.com is a one of a kind company; we are the only company in the world who does what we do, think..MP3.com for Artists, Painters, Photographers, Illustrators, etc. Printpop has been around for 4 years and has active artists from all over the globe including S. Africa, Russia, Sweden, Germany, India, Canada, from Hawaii to Maine, and everywhere in between. Artists sign up, logs into their account, uploads digital reproducitons (scanned or taken with a digital camera) of their work, and places it in the gallery or galleries of their choice. They then fill out a Bio and artwork information (Commentary, Medium, Limited number amount, etc), and are good to go. Your work is then out there for the world to see, but wait, we don't stop there. When an order is placed, we print a high quality reproduciton print of the work in one of three sizes: small: 24 inches wide, Medium: 36 inches wide, and large: 44 inches wide)!! The print is then shipped to the buyer and the artist recieves a check once a month for their % of each poster of work sold. This allows the artists to keep their originals and still profit from their work, or sell the orginal and continue to profit from the sale of the prints forever. Why should the long-dead "masters" be the only ones earning money from their work (e.g. Starrey Night, Sunflowers, Soup Cans). Sure, you can sell your originals, but once it's gone, it's gone forever! ALL UPLOADS 100% free to ALL artists!! Best of all, there is no "catch." Printpop is simply a tool, a vehicle if you will, for artists to make some extra cash by putting their art to work for them. Artists literally have nothing to lose. At the bottom of the site is a user agreement and an intellectual property rights agreement. In short, an artist agrees that they have the right to profit from the sale of a poster of the work they are uploading, in turn Printpop agrees that we will only use your work to print a poster for each one that is ordered. We offer a SHOWCASE gallery where we do the same as outlined above, but once per month we like to auction off one of the showcase pieces autographed by the artist with 100% of the proceeds going to that artist's charity. Also some of the Musician artists will buy a bundle of posters to take on the road with them and sell at their merchandise booths. ALL artists who buy copies of their own work do so at a discount. Many artists will buy prints before a show, knowing that not eveyone can walk in to their show and pay $500 - $50,000 for an original, but the artist can buy (at a discount) thier own prints, then mark them up to whatever you choose and make those available too (...and sign them too). Check the site out for yourself. The HELP/FAQ section is pretty detailed, but if you have any other questions, please email me directly. Also if you are a CELEBRITY artist (known mainly for something other than your artwork), and would like to get involved, please contact us as well.
Whew..well I hope that answers some questions, and like I said, it's actualy a really cool vehicle for artists, my work is on there, and I am nowhere near as talented as any of you, my daughter also has her work on there, and it sells.... There is also an archival aspect built into Pritnpop to consider. Ok...well, if anyone has anymore questons, please don't hesitate to ask. Take care!
