artist rising has big issues. many complain about that site, no customer support when it comes to money matters. i haven't had a sale there since last july, in which i got a surge. that site is connected to art.com. if you, by some chance get great sales at artist rising, then art.com will want your art, but once it's there, your money is cut, and the image is locked there. many people couldn't erase the image because its a potential money maker.
