I know a few artists who have formatted large files of their artwork into book-length manuscripts for publishing on print-on-demand sites such as lulu and others.

That’s great, but don’t stop there!  Artists with book-length manuscripts of their art can easily upload their file to Amazon Kindle for ebook sales to an even larger audience.

If your book manuscript is ready for print-on-demand, and you have an Amazon account, it will only take a few minutes for you to upload and list your book– and it’s free. If you don’t have an Amazon account, open one free. Sign in. Scroll to the bottom of your account page. You will see the option to upload your book. Once it is uploaded. Amazon gives you options to create an author bio page and to list your book on Amazon in the UK and other Amazon sites internationally.

Now your art book is getting some visibility! Help that along with promotions of your new ebook.  Visit your new Amazon Kindle ebook listing and  copy your ebook URL . Post the link on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter along with an image of your book cover. Post an image of your book cover on Pinterest and add your Kindle link.

You can also list your Kindle ebook on a variety of ebook library site, and on the Kindle Mojo site free. A donation of only $25.00 gets you a featured ad on the Kindle Mojo site. You can also request a book review or author feature on Kindle Mojo.

Artists with print-on-demand books of their art, and ebooks, get listed free on this blog and promoted to our social media accounts such as Twitter and Facebook. If you have a book/ebook you’d like us to promote just let us know.

ArtWeb.net Soon to Add Artist Prints POD Services


Colin Mansell, founder and owner of ArtWeb.net announced yesterday that the development work to add art print services to the ArtWeb.net  site is underway and will be ready for testing in about a month.

The primary prints format will be fine art paper, 100% cotton, single-sided, acid free, woolen felt textured, archival quality paper, printed on 285 – 315 GSM paper depending on where in the world the buyer is ordering from. Artweb.net will also be selling prints on canvas and are  looking into offering postcard print options and printing onto acrylic.

All of the formats will be optional to each artist member when they upload their image files to their site profile. The images artists upload will be checked for quality before they become visible on the site, to make sure the jpegs are high enough resolution to produce a quality print.

Artweb.net has decided to move ahead with two print partners, one in the USA and one in Canada. Here are their web links for your reference and review of their credentials and approach to quality:
www.fineartservices.com
www.sfafineartservices.com

As Artweb.net continues to expand globally, the site owner is currently investigating possible print partners for the UK, Europe and Australia.

Beginning December 7th and continuing until December 20th, Rui Cepeda, A. D. Coleman, and Roberto Muffoletto will be leading online discussions on current issues in photographic arts. Forum one: Dinosaur Bones: The End (and Ends) of Photo Criticism, explores the evolution and devolution of photography criticism over the past four decades. Forum two: Moments of Decision or Decisive Moments? Is photography about decisive moments presenting themselves to the photographer or about what the photographer decides to photograph? Forum three: The End of the Photographic Print and the Birth of the Image. This discussion will address issues related to the end of the photographic print and its shift to the digital image–atoms to pixels. To find the free registration option to introduce yourself and join in one or more of these discussions, visit the VASA site (http://vasa-project.com) and select “Forums & Discussions” from the menu.

Italian Artist Aurora Mazzoldi: Giclee Fine Art Prints of Her Paintings

Italian artist Aurora Mazzoldi has exhibited her paintings in US galleries. She wanted to expand Giclee print sales of her paintings into the US, but where and how could she do this easily?  I agreed to accept and stock her prints for sales in the Transmedia Artist Amazon Pro Store, bypassing issues such as delays in shipping and receipt of prints purchased by Amazon customers.
