Fine Art America A Nice Place To Sell Prints!

Check out the coolest place to sell your prints, by far!

 I got this one comment on an art print site, about my work:

<<"Also, I've seen work like yours on exhibition before but the components of the collages are usually also created by collage artist. After having a closer look, it appears the source elements for your collages are mostly found and not created by you. Is this correct? If so, can you sell collages pieced together of other artist's work, even if you add a bit of paint to them? I'm not saying you can't, because I really don't know. I've been doing some photomontage but only using my own images. I'm curious is anyone's work can be used for work that's for resale. Or, did you paint the images within the collages? Or, get them from public domain sources?”>>


Of course I answered him "Yes, You are correct about my materials" and "Yes, You can sell them", and "I use only copyright free images." But my point is what a cool way to ask a tough question!


He never actually says “All you do is glue them together, right? Will people buy that? Are you allowed to do that?”  


I love it!


I don’t know, I thought you’d get a kick out of it, though!

  1. Hello Kanchan!
    I'm pleased to see a new message from you and your new beautifull collages! I love: "Constellation", it's really beautifful!
    I understand the question off this man, because , in France we have a problem with this too! Like you, I use for my collages, painters pictures and the laws are differents here. We canot sell collages with these parts of paintings! We can exhibit them, but not sell! That's the reason why collage in France is not really recognize as an art expression!!!! Stupid, but it's like this!
    Of course, if you call Picasso or Andy Warroll, you could! But maybe, did they bought all copyrights from all pictures they used???? LOL, they could, they had enough money to that!
    Keep on making beautiful collages, and I keep on too, anyway, I don't want to sell them, bu sometimes I give one to one off my friends who love it!
    Kisses
