INFORMATION FOR ARTISTS

Hi there, local artist. Assuming your budding talent takes both time and energy (on top of school, work, and a semi-functioning social life), I want to help. Art should be a passion, not a chore. That being said, this is also your art, and you have full rights to your work. Anything uploaded to my gallery will be watermarked, to prevent digital theft, and your privacy protected. Your name will not be shared nor posted without consent – the same goes for your work. 

In terms of profits and margins, Pencils & Pine is responsible for both marketing and printing, therefore the company will set the price of the work. That's not to say you don't get a voice – ultimately it is my responsibility to provide a mutually beneficial service. Your profit margins, depending on the quality of paper, size of print, etc., will range anywhere from 50% to 70% of net profit. These values will be disclosed to you via email, call, or even in person (lucky you). Once production starts, these values will be sent via Paypal, Stripe, or a simple check. However, this process is subject to change as further research and development continue in the financial side of the printing service.

If you feel like I've missed something or want to share an awesome comment or inquiry, feel free to return to the contact page and send me an email (or connect via social media)!

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
