Bluethumb

I've recently become a member as an artist. I have some idea what it might be like for a buyer but I write this in the view of a seller and not a buyer. Unlike real world galleries Buethumb allows a much more diverse type of art. They also don't mind beginner artists. I'm a beginner and I mainly draw stuff I find fun and relaxing. I put some of my works up for sale as a friend suggested, and to my surprise I have had a few items for sold. Before I had anything sold, Bluethumb curators featured some of my works which is a great confidence boost. What I have come to realise is that if you contact them they will help you find art. As an artist we are asked to package our artwork for delivery by courier (which they organise) and they provide a lot of help in doing so. (more so now). I found the process quite easy. Their commission is actually less then a physical gallery would charge, and they do advertise the site a lot so we can see where the commissions are going. This would have been 5 stars, but I do have a gripe that they allow limited prints to be sold. This to me is akin to selling digital posters. I don't mind hand made prints but these are commercial prints which are only limited because the artists said so. It would also be nice to be able to resell other artworks in my collection (by other artists) but I can see how dealing with authentication would make that a difficult process.
