« Creating Art... »

The wiz and i have been struggling for the past few weeks on what sort of art to have in our first "dining room".  Sounds strange, but true.

We looked all over - but it didn't seem right - finding a piece of art, be it a painting or photography or whatever, that didn't mean as much to us, as to the person who created it. And then i found art.com.

Where there are thousands of prints and reproductions, but even better - you can upload something that YOU created, and they will reproduce it on canvas. YOUR ORIGINAL ART. ON CANVAS. FOR CHEAP.

We picked a photograph i took from our old front door, of the marina in Toronto.  It means something. it has value to us.

I can't wait for it to arrive!!!

How does the copyright work? Do they retain any rights to your work?

nope - it's all yours - and you can decide if you want to make your gallery public, or private.... I haven't gotten deep enough to see if I can print other people's works.... i better do that now ;-)

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing ----- it's a little loopy.....

That's mostly there to protect their ass. That sort of legal agreement upsets me though, specifically the word "universal" which can mean what ever their highly paid lawyers want it to.
