I’ve paid 10x more for less service and no sales on other sites and I’ve have no problem providing uploads with terrific results.

I highly recommend to anyone to buy or sell with FAA and come to your own conclusions. I happy that my other artist friends recommended it to me.

As someone new to the side of showing my creations I am thankful that there is a great starting place on the internet that I can get feedback from and to help me to develop my skills.

The sight is easy to manage. I haven’t sold anything yet… I’m just two days into it, but I expect that they will be forthright with me about any problems with regards to reproducing my images.

I too used to be very judgemental about others art. I’ve had my own galleries and been blessed with being able to represent some of the more popular Artists in the states. But art is very subjective and emotional. If an artist is trying to sell a piece of original art at $10,000 they can put it on the sight… whether good or bad, depending on the beholder. That artist will get feedback!

Their POD program is awesome. Order a print, order a frame, choose the matting, and put it all together right in front of your internet eyes. It’s fun for the purchaser to make their own decisions. And Cards can be custom made.
The $30,00 investment is a small price to pay for such a service, and lots of kudos and prayers should go up that this medium will continue to survive and improve. Why? Because the costs of doing business have skyrocketed and representing yourself is not as easy. This way you have a global audience and jumping into your auto is not as needed.

Thanks FAA.

P.S. Nobody encouraged me to write. I found this discussion on my own.

Here is my link for my work in “popular art” on imagekind. http://tinyurl.com/yegnflv

My name is Vel Verrept, and you can see that my work is on the first page, even without tags. I think FAA is a great site for the price, but I’m just curious about what I am doing wrong to prevent my work showing up. Your help is appreciated.

1) The print on canvas was better than the original.
2) They made me re-shoot the original three times before they were happy with the image they used to make the print.
3) The print was shipped from North Carolina to Toronto and arrived in a week.
4) The packaging was excellent. Extremely well protected.
5) I had wrap framing done and they did an excellent job.
6) The price was much better than what I would have paid locally to have this work done.
7) They made sure it went through customs without a problem.

The friend who got the giclee print found it hard to believe it was a print. It is displayed with paintings worth thousands of dollars and shows well.

What more can I say. I spent many years developing computer services. I am always surprised at the innovations that they keep making with the FAA site. It gets better and better. It is a really well designed site. I have not come across an art site that is as good.

One other note, I did send an e-mail to support@fineartamerica.com 3 days ago re:upload requirements, and still have had no response. While waiting through that period of time, I have called them several times (at various times through their ‘work’ day hours) to ask how long it takes for them to respond to an e-mail. I have yet to have anyone answer a phone either.

Any response to this querie is most appreciated~. Loran
