there's some art out there i would pay a wad for AND frame if they could be touched up a bit. okay, call it porn but i really like looking at some of these things, and some have lasting satisfaction. problem is, i don't get out too often for my own reasons.

PROTIP: Right click on your mouse and you can SAVE the pictures to you HDD! I wasted thousands of dollars buying art before I learned this amazing money-saving secret!

grrrr. i have ten folders at around 1 gig of savory photos that aren't even on the web anymore. WHEN I WANT GOOD STUFF, I WANNA BUY IT! that's how it's done, there are artists i respect, i want them to know i appreciate it. i do the same with music. but with pictures i sometimes wish they could touch things up, like sketches that weren't finished, or little details that put me off.

the artists themselves can do that, i ask for a picture and they charge me $40 for a doodle and hawk it to everyone within listening distance. you of course realize that most of your material is inside a parent website. kinda sterile if you ask me. sadly i keep expecting to find opportunistic persons ready at hand. this is an open invitation to enterprise or increase the quality, quantity, variety of material available.

this is art, whether you know it or not, this is a chance to make the game by your rules instead of the crappy lotto everything else has become. the arts are in need you complacent oaf, i know every single other profession is like being bad james bond on lsd. please at least try to make sure that it doesn't go the same.

So you don't leave the house much because you're batshit insane then?

@#3  I think you have to go case by case from artist to artist personally.  Some will be up for it others won't.  I know that is not exactly helpful, but some sort of communal easy way to do what it seems like you are looking quickly has yet to be invented, and may be difficult to do so if you are looking to fill the void.

You could try to set up some sort of grant/award system maybe, but you are going to have to build some online infrastructure and establish it before it becomes effective.

Does seem like a noble goal though, so I wish you luck.
