By The Image

I doubt that you'll see this, James, because FAA makes its money from printing, matting and framing; not by hosting images for download.

BRILLIANT !

But, probably not here......

(..'buy'...the image?)

Not here no way no how.

Spoken as an artist not faa rep.

You can do that on Etsy. Devaluing the other sellers IMO.

Oh, you can do it on the micro stocks too.

No thanks.

you can sell things as a license, but you still have to market the piece.

i'd start with descriptions and more english words in the tags.

if you sell the original. there is no copy protection. you can sell them small to those that want it. but they can download just as easily. your going to have trouble printing these anyway, many have noise and compression issues. and i'm not sure where people would be displaying these anyway. a phone? a tv? most buy art for their wall.

if you do the microstock route, many would probably fail due to issues above, and you'll get pennies for them.

To add prices for licensing images, log in as normal on pixels.com or fineartamerica.com

Before you can set prices you have to sign in to the programme

Scroll down to the bottom of your Behind the Scenes and activate the feature "Image Licensing Program"

We cannot help you decide what to charge

WHICH LICENCE........

ROYALTY FREE refers to a copyright license where the user has the right to use the picture without many restrictions based on one-time payment to the licensor. The user can therefore use the image in several projects without having to purchase any additional licenses

EXTENDED LICENSE means you create a contract for a set use and they need to purchase again for additional use

TIP: Do not use both licenses for the same image.

Take a look at the licences or perhaps make your own BEHIND THE SCENES | Custom Licenses

PRICING........

Either edit an image and set the prices then submit, or

Bulk edit which is in your BEHIND THE SCENES | Bulk Price edit

Set up future pricing in your BEHIND THE SCENES | Default prices

This option is only available on http://licensing.pixels.com and will be on the premium account shortly

I wouldn't doubt that the music industry has had, and may on some level still be having this discussion about singles.

It will happen, the only questions are, who, when, where and how. Our work is no less intimate and conversational than most tweets, posts, wall papers...

Accessibility and convience are not ideas from the past, but are projected into a future which folds back onto us. Art is subliminal to the noise in our day to days, none the less... It is still art, and it is still precent.

thats great and all, but if people want your work in graphic form, they can contact you and buy the rights to use it in that form - web, phone, tv, etc. however being that this is a print site, we sell them as prints. and can get quite a bit more money per print than to sell it as stock like you want. you can go to a stock house, it's easy to sign up, but they are picky about what they want, and your stuff is hard to keyword. shutterstock seems like a nice place to be.

however you probably won't get that much for them.

you can be poetic if you want, but you won't sell them as well as you think in the form you think it should sell in. we have a licensing site, i suggest setting up shop there.
