We just got featured in another blog called House Obsession! The name of the post is Here comes spring… and time for enjoying the outdoors with a camera. Our Lomo Bicycle Series (Etsy) has been getting some attention lately. Of our few sales on Etsy, most of them are the bicycles. Maybe everyone has Spring fever like I do!

Thank you House Obsession.

We recently got our book featured on Blurb’s homepage under the portfolio section. Yippee! Blurb is a web 2.0 / software / book publishing company. We’ve been using them for 2.5 years now and we love them! We use them to publish our artwork and licensing catalog. We plan on releasing a new catalog later this year. We’ll keep you posted when that actually happens. It will be available for purchase when it’s published.

A little about Blurb. Blurb is based in San Francisco, California. They offer free software, for both Mac and PC, you download from their website site. You use their predesigned templates or create and modify your own. You then insert images, write the copy, and you’re ready to publish. It’s that simple! Like Etsy, they have a great community that makes help a hop, skip and a jump away. If you’re an artist this is a great way to get a professional presentation.

While we haven’t been featured on Etsy’s homepage yet, we did manage to squeak in through the back door. One of our Vintage Travel Advertisement images was used in association with an article. We’re always happy to see our work get as much exposure as it can.

I’ve heard that you cannot get in a Treasury or featured on the homepage if you have watermarks on your images. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but if it is I guess our work won’t be up for consideration. Every one of our images is watermarked.

After debating whether or not to set up shop on Etsy we finally went for it. We’re really glad we did too! It feels great to be part of the greater creative community. If you don’t know about Etsy or have never been to their site you should definitely swing by to check it out. www.etsy.com

Etsy is a website which focuses primarily on providing the general public with a way to buy and sell handmade items. The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee. It has been compared to “a crafty cross between Amazon and eBay.” (taken from Wikipedia)

We’re hoping for great things with our Etsy shop. You can find us on Etsy here: www.dripstick.etsy.com

    While visiting Amsterdam it’s almost impossible not to notice the amount of bicycles in the city. Everyone rides them - everyone! From hipsters to business men to a family of 3 all on 1 bicycle. It’s incredible! After a month long trip to the wonderful city of Amsterdam we’ve returned with a new collection up our sleeve. May I introduce the Lomo Bicycle Series.

    Enjoy!
