You may or may not be aware, but we have recently launched a new page that gives rewards and benefits for helping each other out. You can check out our new page by clicking here.
We have a few different schemes that you can benefit from, but one of our newest is our ‘help a friend’ scheme. We think it’s great to have the people we know around us, especially our friends, and we know that a lot of you tell your friends about us who then join which is great! We wanted to encourage this further, and help reward those who are involved by giving any new members that come from a referral some increased exposure on the Artybuzz blog.
So from now on, if you refer a friend and they, or you, get in touch with us, we will run a special feature on the Artybuzz blog that will showcase your friends work, and put you in their good books in the process! So be sure to tell any of your friends who might want some exposure for their work
We have now launched postcards and greeting cards on Artybuzz! So if you are an artist already selling on Artybuzz, from now on when you upload work, you will be able to choose to sell your work as cards and postcards.
With your existing uploads, you can simply edit your work and choose ‘yes’ to sell as greeting cards and postcards which can then be purchased by people.
Our cards are manufactured on high quality gloss card stock that is 350gsm in weight… which is pretty sturdy stuff! Check out a few we have made already…
We have a new look home page… well, not an entirely new look, but a slight improvement on the old version.
We’ve added a few quick links to our most popular products, so when new buyers come to the site they can find what they are looking for much more easily, meaning artists on Artybuzz should sell more work… Yippee!!!
We’d love to know what you think about the new home page, so please click the comment button below and give us your feedback on whether you like this or not…
This week, some artybuzz t shirts have been featured and reviewed and featured on the popular t shirt blog t-shirtfarmer.com.
It’s a nice blog featuring t shirts and reviews of them from all over the world, and it’s great that some of Artybuzz.com’s t shirt designers designs have been chosen for feature.
The lead writer for T-Shirt Farmer Michael said “Our goal for the site is to aggregate t-shirts available on the web that rise above the common crap found at many of the most popular web based t-shirt retailers”. A pretty good philosophy, and based on some of the great t shirts that Michael shows and reviews on his site, a philosophy that holds strong and carries through on his site. Michael will also be writing a guest blog post for us very soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Today we have implemented a new system for sorting and viewing artwork that we think will help with a number of things including saving time, selling more work, and allowing you to find and buy the things you like most.
Because Artybuzz has grown rapidly over the past couple of months, it can often take a bit of time to get through all the work and find the type of art you like best. So to help, we have installed a new feature that sorts work by popularity as well as sorting results by the latest uploaded work.
So, as seen below you now have two tab options that enable you to flick between popular and latest work. Simply click either ‘popular’ or ‘latest’ to view the work you want, as seen below:
