Thanks to artist Stacy Lee, I have a new “art place” that’s gotta be the slickest thing going on the Net.  It’s called RedBubble.com  I’m just poking around there, but, A, it’s one of the slickest pieces of coding I’ve seen, it allows the artist choices on what to sell, and it has a great interactive interface that’s completely user intuitive and easy to navigate no matter where you are.  This is good for the artist and the consumer, because easy and fast means less hassle.  I haven’t tried their shopping cart, yet, but I’m betting it’s just as slick. 

 I know a few sites that could take lessons by studying it.  I don’t know about the quality of their products, but I hear that they are above average, maybe not up to IK’s level, but, for a middle-ground alternative, and for a WONDERFUL community experience and ease, this one is super.  Now if we could get FTP upload, some paper choices, some more framing and matting options, and calendars….

Despite those lacks, though, RedBubble looks to be one of my happier hang-outs.
