Authored by California artist Marques Vickers and targeted towards the visual arts community, an e-publication entitled “Selling Art On The Internet” was recently released by the Marquis Publishing Company. The e-book addresses relevant topics including website design, generating website traffic, cultivating media exposure, “paying for clicks,” merchant affiliate programs, self publishing artwork, virtual and portfolio galleries and art auction sites.

The 58 page publication is oriented towards the independent visual artist and small art galleries representing a diversity of mediums.

“As selling on the Internet becomes a more accepted distribution outlet for artwork,” notes Vickers, “a new sense of empowerment is evolving for visual artists in their relationships with galleries, clients and the traditional institutional elements of the art world.”

Formats for the e-publication distributed on compact disc are available in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, Appleworks and ASCII text software. The published retail price is $10.95. Copies can be ordered directly through the Marquis Publications website at www.ArtsInAmerica.com and through a growing number of Internet e-publication retail publication distribution sites.

Vickers, who is conducting a series of San Francisco based seminars for visual artists in conjunction with the US Small Business Administration, currently markets his own Figurative paintings and sculptures on over 30+ Internet auction, B2C, B2B and business exchange sites.
