ARTSCOPE.NET STARTS ONLINE GALLERY
CHICAGO, IL -- ArtScope.net -- http://www.artscope.net -- will be launching E-GALLERY, an online gallery that will offer a centralized focus for art buyers from around the world, featuring quick-loading, high-quality scans of artists' work, online artist profilegraphies and statements, contact information, and an easy-to-use purchasing interface.
"Aside from being a pleasure to browse, our online gallery will be a springboard to person-to-person communication," says Richard Donagrandi, Executive Producer of ArtScope.net. "Buyers will be not only be able to view and purchase the work of artists they may otherwise miss, they'll also be able to contact artists they admire and develop a relationship - something you usually can't do with a regular gallery."
ArtScope.net is a visual and performing fine arts-based web site which keeps users in touch with the pulse of the arts in Chicago and nationally through daily arts-related news, reviews by its arts correspondents, searchable databases of current theater and gallery show openings, arts-based Internet site reviews, and discussion boards.
ArtScope.net's online curators are currently assembling the first submissions by artists, and Donagrandi finds that interest in the online gallery is high. "Since our beginning on the 'net, we've been in contact with many galleries and artists in the Chicago area, letting them know this was coming down the pipe. We've got a lot of interest from established artists and galleries alike," he said.
For existing galleries, ArtScope.net's tailored co-marketing campaigns will be an attractive resource. Structured very much like traditional agreements between galleries and their stable of artists, E-Gallery will be an open window to a worldwide locale that enhances the gallery situation.
"For the artist, our focus is to provide an opportunity to display and sell their work while charging as little overhead as possible," says Richard Donagrandi, Executive Producer of ArtScope.net. "E-Gallery is unlike anything out there on the Internet. We wanted an option that reflected the artists' realities. The artist would not have to pay until a work is sold. The competition profits from the sale of the gallery service to the artist - they charge just to display the artists' work."
To see view complete instructions on how artists can display their work on E-Gallery, visit the ArtScope.net web site at http://www.artscope.net/VArtDBInstr.html. Galleries interested in participating should contact ArtScope.net directly at email:

Subj: Handy tip when printing on tshirts
Here's something that I was recently reminded of while on the job. I designed a t-shirt that had some screens in it. (Meaning that I had this red color and I was using a 60% screen of the red to achieve a lighter red.) The printer called up when he received my files. He told me that the screen will print darker, because of dot gain.
Explanation: When you print with a screen, essentially you are taking that solid color and printing a bunch of tiny dots to achieve the visual effect of a lighter color. When printing on a tshirt, each of these tiny dots will spread out just a bit, taking out the white space between each dot. Therefore, this screened color will end up darker. So when you print your stuff out on a laser printer, just remember that your screens will turn out darker on the tshirt. How do you predict what percentage screen to use to match your laser prints? That is a question best suited for your printer. In my case, the 60% screen I saw on my laser printouts would be best set up to be a 30% screen on the tshirt.
