We were featured in Etsy’s Art Collectors Gift Guide. The Art Collectors Gift Guide is a list of artwork that is curated by Etsy’s staff. Our Underwater print (top left in above picture) from the Environment Series was the lucky pick. We’ve had our eye on the guide for a while, like a kid looking in the window of a candy store. Once we got in, the print sold quickly! Get yours here.

Thank you Etsy!

While we haven’t been featured on Etsy’s homepage yet, we did manage to squeak in through the back door. One of our Vintage Travel Advertisement images was used in association with an article. We’re always happy to see our work get as much exposure as it can.

I’ve heard that you cannot get in a Treasury or featured on the homepage if you have watermarks on your images. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but if it is I guess our work won’t be up for consideration. Every one of our images is watermarked.

After debating whether or not to set up shop on Etsy we finally went for it. We’re really glad we did too! It feels great to be part of the greater creative community. If you don’t know about Etsy or have never been to their site you should definitely swing by to check it out. www.etsy.com

Etsy is a website which focuses primarily on providing the general public with a way to buy and sell handmade items. The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee. It has been compared to “a crafty cross between Amazon and eBay.” (taken from Wikipedia)

We’re hoping for great things with our Etsy shop. You can find us on Etsy here: www.dripstick.etsy.com
