my "Top Ten" for artomatic
The Artomatic website has a "picks" section where you can make a list of your favorite works. I can do it, you can do it, anybody can do it. And you can read everyone else's - which is cool because you will find things that you might have missed and make note to go back and see those.
However the interface isn't exactly what I'd call ideal - through no fault of its own but because quite a few artists (myself included) haven't uploaded artwork to their catalog entry. (I have a photo of my space so you know it's me but with everything of mine posted here I didn't see the point in doing it all again. I mean, haven't we seen that all enough?)
Big Artist Pet Peeve - what the hell is it with artists and websites? Christ, it's the 21st century, get thee to a web designer and FTP that sucker now! Ouch!
I've come across rooms of art where
I was really thinking I was overdoing it with my multiple promotional items but I'd really rather get a lot from an artist than nothing at all.
Now, without further ado, my Top Ten List.... of 17 artists :)

I've come across rooms of art where
- no name or business cards anywhere I could find. I liked the art, would like to let the artist know this but I can't contact them.
- The artist does leave a business card with an email address.... THAT BOUNCES! Giving me incorrect information is worse than giving me no information.
- The url on the business card (if they bother to include it) either doesn't work/404/expired or is "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" with no other information. Tease. Buying a domain name does not entitle you to say you have a website.
I was really thinking I was overdoing it with my multiple promotional items but I'd really rather get a lot from an artist than nothing at all.
