Increased Sales as Artist’s Painting is Shared + Liked Hundreds of Times Online
April 18, 2013 By 1 Comment
Mississippi bluesman Robert Johnson (1911-1938), recorded 29 songs in 3 days in a Texas recording studio in 1936. In 2004 Eric Clapton released an entire tribute CD to Robert Johnson. It is the bluesman’s song Terraplane Blues that inspired this painting by Chris Osborne. The 1935 Hudson Terraplane automobile that is featured is owned by Clem Martin in Connecticut. Many of Johnson’s song titles are referenced in the painting, including 32-20 Blues, Hellhound On My Trail, Stones in My Passway, and Crossroads.
Robert Johnson and the Blue Terraplane painting by Chris Osborne
Painter Chris Osborne has had recent sales of limited edition posters and Giclee canvas prints of her painting that she directly attributes to a photo that someone else posted on Facebook.
*
Chris explained–” There is a canvas print of my painting hanging in the Robert Johnson Foundation office in Mississippi that I donated to them when I was exhibiting art at their music festival in 2005 & 2006. Someone recently snapped a photo of the print and posted the photo on Facebook. A friend told me about seeing it and I followed it on one page, adding some comments to identify me as the artist (a good number of people in their comments thought it was a photoshopped image! I hate that!!). Then, it was shared by a page called In Music We Trust. From that it has been shared over 400 times, and “liked” over 800 times! Check out that page and go to their photos, you can find the post there. I wrote to that page via messaging and asked if they could credit me. He/she re-posted the photo with my name. They may have deleted the earlier post that didn’t credit me (the one that had 400 shares). This new post was up to 37 shares as of today. What’s kinda good is even though the snapshot is not to my quality, it is likely to prevent printing or theft because of the flashbulb look.”

Stocksy United: New Co-Op Where Photographers Share Ownership and Profits
April 6, 2013 By 2 Comments
Stocksy United is calling itself a new artist-owned co-op.
Stocksy United has developed a new model for stock photography focused on shared ownership and profit-sharing. The new site is owned by its photographer-members and dedicated to paying them the highest possible fee for their photographs.
Photographers who are members of Stocksy United will receive 50% royalty on each transaction and 100% of extended licensing fees. Members will also receive equity in the company giving them input on business operations and 90% of all profits will be divided among the members at the end of the year.
Founder of the new Stocksy United , Bruce Livingstone also previously founded iStockphoto. Livingstone says–“There’s no reason these artists shouldn’t be able to earn a living from what they produce.” He believes that Stocksy United will change the stock photography industry permanently—and for the better.
It’s expected that this philosophy of sharing will certainly make Stocksy United the preference for conscious-minded designers looking for quality images.
