New websites i'm on...
One is Imagekind A reader of my blog told me about it in the comments, THANKS! I really like this site, as a way to sell prints of my work, good quality. I am still on Artist Rising as I prefer it as far as selling my originals. They are both great if you are an artist wanting to sell some work as they don't require any investment or little investment. I prefer Imagekind because I can sell giclee (best quality) prints without any cost to me, BUT for a small fee I can get the same prints from Artist Rising. The difference is that Artist Rising is more generous with its commissions on framing as where at Imagekind I need to be an annual paying member for higher sales commissions of my prints and to get any commission at all on the sales of framing. As far as google search, I show up on Imagekind after just a couple of days on there and still no search success from Artist Rising. Also there are so many artists on Artist Rising its hard to get noticed. I think that the actual site at ImageKind is nicer, easier to upload, I see my images more just looking through their galleries, overall its the better of the two as far as uploading etc. They also have a fan option where other artists that like your work can add their picture to your Fan base. Love that! I think both sites have good things and sales potential. I'll keep you posted!
IMAGEKIND - easier functionality and uploading capabilities
giclee prints with no investment
better search on google for under my name
show up more on their galleries
fan clubs
ARTIST RISING - lists originals
nicer artist gallery
higher commissions
more artists
show up on google just searching art
Also check out a Vancouver based website and zine for artists, free listings or memberships available. I have been on this site for a few years now. It is artists that have put it together and run the show. They are great people, very supportive of artist community. check it out!

Hey! Looks great! I'm glad you decided to try it out. I don't think Artist Rising has higher commissions though... maybe I'm wrong, but the most you get with AR is 15% - right? And you have to be a paying member? You can set all your own prices at Imagekind and keep the whole markup.
Glad to see you getting your art out their!
One of these days when I find the time (har-har) and get back into actual painting I'm going to have to come back here and really dive into all this info, Thanks Shayli!
