The Art Trade

This thread is to hopefully facilitate the trading of art created by users on the site. There are a lot of talented artists here and I thought it would be cool to be able to trade prints, etc amongst ourselves.

There are two options:
1. You can make a straight trade. A piece of art for a piece of art.
2. If you want something from someone but they don't want anything from you, you can cover the shipping/printing costs.

A few rules:
You may only give something created by you.
This is NOT a request thread. You can only ask for something a person has ALREADY created.
This is ABSOLUTELY NOT for profit. If you're going with option 1, there should be no transaction of money since you're both paying to ship, etc. If you're going with option 2, the cost should only be enough to cover expenses.

Feel free to post your gallery or whatever, if you want to trade.

To get started, here's my flickr page.

I think this is a fantastic idea.

Also, keep in mind that if you're not comfortable sharing your physical address with someone on the internet, do not participate.

Here's some of my stuff, anything there can be turned into an 8" x 10" print.

Since I have absolutely no talent when it comes to drawing/painting, I'm absolutely counting photography as art (note the flickr page).

Yes. That's art. If it's welcome in the art forum, and you can physically trade it, you can trade it here. Jesus.

Sounds fun. Here's my DevART page. Just keep in mind that some of it is commercial artwork that I no longer own the rights to.

Hey here's my photo stuff. Only really just starting to get my decent photographer legs, but I'll hopefully be adding more good stuff in the future.

Also, this is a bit more abstract, but if you would like a piece of music written or composed, I'd be very willing to work with that. I can do just about anything as long as you're okay with hearing it in MIDI form. >.>

Edit: Just realized that this isn't for requests at all, so the music thing might be out. Hopefully I can set up a place to put up stuff I've finished soon...once I actually finish some stuff I've been working on.

Yes. Everyone does. To post images, you click img, paste the url, click img again.

However, that URL just leads to a blank page. Not a working image at all. Also, this is not a thread for posting random images. Read the first post, and read the rules of the forum. This thread is for exchanging physical artwork.

Not a trade, but for any fans of Ryan Hawkins, he has recently made his art volume, "VERTEX," available for free digital download!

Check it out here! Also, spread the word where relevant, this seemed like the best place for this news.

Thanks!

Not sure if this thread is dead or what, but hopefully we can get the ball rolling again? If you browse the pictures in my profile for this site you'll see I do painting and digital work, I'd love to do a trade with someone! :)
