What stays yours
Your copyright
Your work stays yours. You give us permission to print and sell it, nothing more, and you can take it back.
Sell anywhere else
There's no exclusivity. Keep your own shop, your gallery and any other site.
Your price, if you want it
Our standard prices sell well. If you'd rather charge more, set your own price and keep all of the difference.
Leave whenever you like
Ask us to take a piece down, or everything, and it comes off sale within 7 days. Orders already placed are still paid.
What we take care of
Getting it ready
We prepare your files for print, crop and clean the edges, and send you a proof of every size before anything goes on sale.
Your page
Your own artist page with your bio and your work, plus room photos of each piece on a wall.
Printing and shipping
Each order is printed when it's bought, on archival paper, in black or dark wood frames, or on gallery-wrapped canvas, and shipped free.
Customers
Payments, questions, returns and reprints are ours to deal with. You never chase a customer or a parcel.
In good company
Your work hangs in the same shop as Hokusai's woodblocks, Audubon's birds and the great paintings of the last five centuries, printed with the same care. Browse the collection.
Apply to list your art
A few questions and a link to your work. We read every application and reply within a week, whatever the answer.
We're starting with a small group of artists, so we can give each one proper attention.
What you'll want to know
Does it cost anything?
No. There's no fee to join, no fee to list, and nothing to buy. We earn only when your print sells, and so do you.
Who owns the art?
You do. You give us a licence to print and sell the pieces you choose, and to show pictures of them to promote them. You keep the copyright and every other right.
What do I earn?
The amounts in the table above, on every print sold at our standard price. If you set a higher price, you also keep everything above ours. Our sales and discounts come out of our share, never yours.
When do I get paid?
By PayPal, by the 15th of each month, for prints that have passed our 30-day return window, once you've earned $25. Anything under that rolls over to the next month.
What if a print is returned?
If an order is refunded within the return window, there's no payment for it. If a print arrives damaged and we reprint it, you're still paid in full.
What files do you need?
A high-resolution scan or digital file. For our largest size, 24 × 36 inches, that's about 7,200 × 10,800 pixels. Smaller files are fine: we only offer the sizes your file prints well at.
What kind of work are you looking for?
Finished, original work you made yourself: painting, illustration, printmaking, botanical and natural-history art, and graphic work. We choose pieces that sit well alongside the collection, so we can't take everyone.
What isn't allowed?
Anything that copies someone else's work, characters, brands, logos or real people's likenesses, and AI-generated images. You confirm the work is yours when you list it.
Will you promote my work?
Your pieces appear in our shop, collections and search, and in our product listings on Google and ChatGPT. The biggest lift usually comes from you sharing your page with your own followers, so we make that easy.
Do I need a tax form?
We'll ask for a W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (outside the US) before your first payment. You're responsible for your own taxes.
Who runs it?
