Comments on: How Artists Can Get Noticed NOW !!!! June 09 Update – artmarketblog.com http://www.artmarketblog.com/2009/06/17/how-artists-can-get-noticed-now-june-09-update-artmarketblog-com/ Art Market Analysis by Nic Forrest Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: RadishArt http://www.artmarketblog.com/2009/06/17/how-artists-can-get-noticed-now-june-09-update-artmarketblog-com/#comment-2092 RadishArt Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:50:23 +0000 http://artmarketblog.com/?p=2191#comment-2092 Foliotwist was co-founded by the creators of www.emptyeasel.com a well known website that reviews other online art community and offers tutorials for artists ranging from studio tips to advice for gaining exposure online. The bad part about that is that www.foliotwist.com features several things that Empty Easel has trashed other online art communities for such as only offering members a brief demo of the site before they have to start paying, bold claims of how great the site is for exposure when the site is barely on the radar of Alexa and other website ranking sites. The fact that the site costs really tuned me off because Empty Easel has made a point of warning artists not to waste money paying for similar sites. But they do have a history of supporting other pay sites that happen to buy ad space on Empty Easel! It makes sense that they have knit-picked other online art communities given the fact that they had Foliotwist under their belt this whole time. BOOOOOO! All is fair in business but it just seems catty for them to put down the hard work of others only to do the same thing and in some cases worse. It just comes off catty and unprofessional.

I found you on the web and boy am I glad that I did. This is great info and I’ve heard of some of the links but others are pretty unknown. I never heard of art prize the site looks like a great way to win some bread and fanfare. A friend of mine uses foliotwist and has a portfolio online. I never heard of Zatista before I like the fact that they are on a mission to create an online marketplace that effectively connects fine and <a href="http://www.artfortune.com" rel="nofollow">contemporary art </a> . The mission statement said that they are committed to provide an innovative, safe, and comfortable experience. I like that It makes me feel that my art work will sell and I don’t have to worry about being ‘ripped off. Good exposure never hurt any artist. That dripbook book site may be just the ticket I’ve been looking for if I decide to go graphic. Hey good job, I like the stuff that you put together.
