I think the 20×200 model is brilliant. Because it is associated with your gallery, rather than just a site like flickr, the opportunity for art purchases includes a measure of credibility – which isn’t to say that art purchased off Flickr or Etsy is bad (it’s not, I own many pieces!) it is just different.

I can’t wait for the site to go live, I’m looking forward the chance to buy some work!

I can’t afford art. All the art that hangs on my walls is either a gift or something I made. I haven’t been to Jen Bekman’s gallery yet, but from what I see online, I’d love to own (maybe even collect) a lot of what I see from the Hot Shots. As a photographer, I’d definately love to know my work (be it 20×200, 200×20 or 2000×2) hangs on people’s walls.

I took on photography a while ago, but most my photos were stuck in a box. I only began to consider myself a photographer when once started seeing my work online. Thanks to the photoblog I got a little book published and a solo show in Caracas, my home town. Now at least a few of my photos hang on people’s walls. For me, art and photography are far from profitable yet. Nevertheless, it is very gratifying to move from a box to the screen, then from pixel to paper, and finally a place in front of somebody’s view.

Thank you for 20×200.

Ha – it hurts me to say this… but I have to admit I’ve just reached my late forties… and I can still only afford the $20.00 ones…

maybe because I’m an artist (or so my significant other says)

I see it as the best option for young people like me to be able to have and enjoy awesome art.
Otherwise I’d probably have to wait until my late 40’s!
