Selling your Photos as Wallpaper

^allhopeislost:iconallhopeislost: reports, September 21
Wouldn’t it be great to shoot a picture that you love, have thousands of people pay to own a copy and know that they’re going to see it, appreciate it and enjoy it several times a day… before coming back to pick up another one?

That’s not likely to happen through gallery representation, and even regular stock buyers are unlikely to give an image a second thought once it’s served its purpose. Turn your photo into a desktop wallpaper however, and you can be sure that it’s going to be unmissable. Create the sort of payment plan that lets buyers build a collection of your artwork and you can be sure that your creations will continue to be appreciated, even as they’re covered in icons and windows.

Un Restó que apuesta al Arte en la city porteña.

~jomvera:iconjomvera: reports, 1d 2h ago
Hipólito Restó & Arte, nació siendo un pequeño Restó - Café. Su nombre, rinde un humilde tributo a Don Hipólito Yrigoyen, quien es uno de los presidentes más respetados de la República Argentina, el cual vivió sus últimos días en un inquilinato, hoy nuestro lugar.
A través de una simple convocatoria a artistas plásticos a exponer, en el mes de Setiembre de 2005, para su difusión e inserción en el mercado nacional e internacional, hoy, en su 28º exposición son los artistas los que se contactan para formar parte de futuras exposiciones.
Hipólito Restó & Arte no pretende ser una galería, sino un espacio de difusión y exposición alternativo, donde el público no se sienta comprometido a observar, lo tiene allí, el Arte pasa a formar parte de lo diario.
En su última exposición del año 2007, contó con la presencia de Stella Sidi, Ciudadana argentina, nacida en Bulgaria.
Profesora en Bellas Artes.
ANILLO DEL ARTE 2006 por comunicadora cultural.
PREMIO GALERÍA ARTEXPRESION 2006 por trayectoria artística.
Columnista de Artes Plásticas desde 1995.
Desde 1999 dirige y produce en RADIO CULTURA FM 97.9, su propio programa dedicado a las Artes Visuales, auspiciado por la SECRETARÍA de CULTURA del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, nominado en el premio Faro de Oro 2001/2004. Colaboró con la revista “RAMONA” y en [link]. comentando muestras de Arte Argentino. Participa con un stand en ArteBA y Expo-Trastienda desde 2002 como programa radial dedicado a Artes Visuales .
Se puede decir entonces, que la propuesta de este nuevo espacio, en una zona donde reinan la prisa y los intereses, va logrando sus objetivos de que el arte sea parte de lo cotidiano y pueda apreciarse como tal, está allí no hay que ir a buscarlo.
Con la participación del artista francés Nest, auspiciado por la Ambassade de France en Argentine, y destacados artistas argentinos como: Orlando Argañaraz, Enrique Alvarez Aldana, José Cukier y Stella Mezzadri formarán parte del calendario de este espacio ubicado en la City de Buenos Aires.

Pre-Raphaelite Deviant Art

*mindofka:iconmindofka: reports, June 7, 2007
"The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets and critics, founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt..." [link]
Wikipedia, check the link to learn more

All of the DeviantArt members will agree that this site is about art, but not everybody knows how always was and always will be a great battle between opinions in what is art or what isn't. It happens that most artist are considered such after hundred of years, and then we are able to see their works everywhere: in calendars, supermarket prints, diaries, keychains. We are constantly influenced by this imagery, as the artists themselves where at the time they created their masterpieces, like the Pre-raphaelites.

I decided to create a few articles about art influence, and their group is what I consider a perfect start for the project.
Influence and inspiration is not copying, it's something we don't even notice in our lives, we just put it in our memories even if we don't look carefully at this images.

Pre-Raphaelite Deviant Art

The Brotherhood's early doctrines were expressed in four declarations:

1. To have genuine ideas to express;
2. To study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them;
3. To sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parading and learned by rote;
4. And, most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.

See if it maches...





It was hard to choose, but my criteria was more about the influence felt than the subject or media, hope you enjoyed the artworks.
I also welcome anyone who would like to help me search artworks.
The following themes will be:
Romanticism [link]
Baroque [link]
Art Nouveau [link]

Thanks!
I was browsing news and felt a lack of "old great art" abouts :D
Impressionism and expressionism, futurism... I'd love to touch all of them! But I'd like to start with those with which I'm most influenced myself.

It's more about getting inspired ourselves than features, I find it more constructive for anyone's art development, me included.

Please, feel free to give me links and ideas, I'll be really grateful :XD:
