I've been away for some time. Is this still in the works? I think it's a great idea!

I'm in:) There are great possibilities with this kind of thing these days. The world is starving for creativity(even if us artists aren't!) If done extremely well, I envision a website that could actually convey the feeling one has when walking through a garden, like you mentioned. I've always got lots of ideas and would love to be involved in making something like this all that it possibly can be.

Love All Ways,
Justin

I really like the idea of building cyber art communities.
and I second a few of the notions above, too

- Forming some sort of regular cycle of gathering/interaction. I think there is a lot to be said about finding some sort of rhythm that gives more traction to community efforts.

- Inviting critique and inquiry is a great way for artists to expand each other's skills and vision. But it will help to have some sort of way of talking about the "rules of play." Artists are often a sensitive lot...I suggest forming some sort of community "touchstones" for reference, as a way to create shared values and intentions, as well as functional agreements and what i often call "style notes" ...as a way to help keep the soulful insights from getting lost in linear conversations, and keep the whole effort from possibly disintegrating into some post-modern funk.

- Whether it is a conference call, or just a chatroom, any way to add some LIVE aspect will enhance the group experience very much. Static linear hypertext only conveys so much. Which points back to the cyclic idea. A monthly podcast, for example.

i hope i helped
thanks for reading

Need a virtual gallery? Links and suggestions are welcome!

http://diana.gaia.com — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:10:52 GMT

Since I will not be able to offer you individual virtual galleries on my zPro page, I will need to have a place on the web where I can link to when I present you as an artist.

There are several ways we could do this and I will give you some ideas and some virtual galleries adresses you can check out and which are mostly for free! Depending on the kind of art you sell the one or the other example might be better.

1. The easiest way if you don't want to create another account elsewhere is to create a photo album in your photos here at zaadz and upload your work for sell over here. I have created a "my art" photo album for example. It would be easy for me to link to such a place.

2. http://deviantart.com --> Some of you know this place already. It is an art communit where you can present your art for free or even enhance your gallery for a small fee. If you want to have an idea how this looks like go to my gallery and have a look. You can have an introduction page and a great gallery and it really looks great!!!

Good thing about it is you can sell your work and/or prints and loads of other gadgets with your art o it and the quality is amazing!

3. http://www.redbubble.com --> Another great place and FREE! And you can make all kinds of prints and even t-shirts! Have a look at my gallery.

4. http://www.cafepress.com/dianas --> is another free place too :-) Check my page here

So, enough of self publicity ;-) If there are other communities you know of, please share it with us here.

Thank you all in advance.
Diana

I would love to join in. i dont have a business or anything, but for people like me there is a place thats free that you can put your art/work on. deviantart.com has a great network and can do prints if you want to. is that the kind of thing your looking for?

Re: zPro - Art @ Zaadz

http://diana.gaia.com — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:26:04 GMT

Hi Debra,

This is exactly what I was thinking of for a start. Indeed a simple way of representing the artist here at zaadz. The only thing that bothers me is for those who don't have a website like yours (your wesite and art really rocks!) . We will have to be making links to a certain directory of their photo album I suggest ... or I have some other places twhere they could even make their own gallery for not a cent .... this will be the second part of our mission. The how.

This weekend i will put a list of first participants together and all the ideas we had and I will post it on this pod again with some new questions and reflection :-) So keep an eye open and thank you all for your interest!!! i think we are enough to start a new idea, so let's do it!

Talk to all of you soon,
Diana

It is good to hear.
I used to sell my works in eBay US, but I thought that because people don't want to spend for the international shipping fee, so they didn't buy. I hope there is a nice art collector or curator who don't care much about the postal fee...

I thought that you were thinking about posting and selling art for the holiday. If the season doesn't matter, I can send my works anytime regardless of donation or plain sells.

Same here. I pay for some artist website, but I haven't sold any. I have posted my works to blogger showing to my friends and classmates, but other than that I don't get any response, but from zaadz members.

I am in, too.

To make things simple, I suggest simply a list (perhaps alphabetical) of artist [real or Zaadz name?], media, web site link, perhaps with a leading column of a thumbnail representative image of the art style.

e.g.,

[ image ] Debra Jan Bibel/Lone Mountain acrylic paintings www.lonemountain-art.com

I am registered with various art directories.....but I have received feedback only from Zaadsters!

Keep me posted on developments.

Namaste.

Well, there's not such a system here yet but I have some ideas in mind ... there are some nice stores on the web that could be useful to us ... wait and see ;-)

Re: zPro - Art @ Zaadz

http://evilpuff.gaia.com — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:55:29 GMT

I think I'm a little confused (or technologically stunted). are we talking about an online store or mall or something like that ? If that's the case, i'm really excited.

thanks for being patient.

Jeee David! You have been away for ages then! Iank you for trusting me anyway and I wil count you as in :-)
Oh zPro, It's like a mini-zaadz you can create. It was ment to beused by people to pimp up their business :-) ... I like the ideaof creating a common business with artists from around world.
Have a great day,
