Steemarket is online! Buy/Sell your artwork for Steem!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

After a couple of months (or more?), I finally am launching my SHOWCASE to buy/sell artworks and craftworks for Steem

STEEMARKET is the website that host the showcase.

Why a Showcase and not a shop?

Because the sales are to happen in the community, from a direct contact between buyer and seller. I'm not a gallerist or a  vendor, and besides I think the art community on the Steem blockchain  must do its part. Artists must do their part, here and in the art market as it works today!

How can you buy? Here is how!

How can you sell? Here is how!

At the moment, as you can see, there are just artworks by me and by my wife @silviabeneforti in Steemarket. Hey, we are artists! Obviously we are the first ones to show our artworks there.

Update: @marty-art has his first artwork added 

But every artist on Steemit can put his artworks for sale there. And IT IS FREE.

No, you can't upload your pics by yourself on Steemarket. I didn't want an automated website. There are plenty of automated art shops online. I want to receive the photos and the infos and the prices of the artworks in the dedicated chatroom on steemit.chat (thx to @pfunk that created it for me). It means a lot of work more for me, of course, but it means also a direct contact between me and the artist that wants to be shown in my website. THAT's my revenue: helping a community to grow up and be part of it. (Yes, I hope also to get money from that. In the future. Perhaps. For now, let's build it.)

Artists often are not so "social". I know it. I'm an artist and I deal with that environment since 1992. COME ON, colleagues! Move your asses! ;)

How an artwork will look in Steemarket? This way

Or like this:

I will post updates with the new artworks added and the sold one every weeks.

We will organize online auctions too.

Come and join, artists and art lovers! Let's do it.

I'm going to make the website better, of course. With your help and your suggestions. :)

that's is a brilliant idea put into reality.
I also started to recover some old art skills inspired by Steemit.
Maybe this is where the experiment will develop and platform for artists and art lovers...

Great idea i hope it all works out for you.
I wouldn't call myself an artist,but i do appreciate art and i would even purchase something myself.
Well done,keep up the good work.

People who appreciate, and better yet purchase, art are greatly appreciated. :)

Great idea! It is ideas like these that will change the Steemit culture and grow our community in such a large way. I am happy to see a true organic idea like this. I believe that if executed correctly this can and will be a big hit. I would like to extend my help if needed. Thank you for your hard work at creating this platform amazing. Best of luck - Goldblock

very cool idea, hopefully it takes off.
get some food for all those starving artists and budding painters who need validation.

I didn't get an invite :( Guess I'll have to crash your party :)

Really is wonderful what you have created here. I have some original commissioned paintings of Draft Horses that can be made into calendars and used in other mediums such as posters and cards. The aim was a way to raise funds for my special project.

great! you can offer the prints for sale if you want :)

Cool, good initiative. Thanks for including me in tour list!

Hi @paolobeneforti. This sounds like a fantastic idea my friend. Hope it is successful. I would appreciate it if you added me to your list of artists. I am a pencil portrait artist. Thank you.

Hope your day is going well!

Are photographers welcome to join the fun?

Great! Yeah that makes sense. Would appreciate if you could pop me an invite!

no invitation is required. if you want to offer an artwork for sale, just post photo and infos in the dedicated chatroom on steemit.chat :)

Oh right, my fault! I'll get to it soon :)

looks interesting... great to see the ecosystem growing!

A lot of the talented artists on Steemit will appreciate your effort.

Nice one. Tell me if you ever need help with the site/programming :)

I guess I'm sad that I wasn't invited :/

sorry, I used an old list. now you are invited :)

It is really great platform for the artists like us, as by profession I am a 3D artist, so is there any work for me there. I am also a graphic designer but my main job is 3D artist.

I guess you can offer for sale some HD pics or vectorial file, perhaps

What a great idea Paolo, can we sell digital copies of our work, ie. High Definition/Quality images, to others in order for them to download and use how they wish?
Images which can be printed to a very high standard or used for commercial ventures like reselling prints.

sure. :)

Great! I will organise some images for this purpose!

Very cool idea!
Does this apply to artwork such as designed costume pieces - like my steampunk hats?
(Such as the ones seen in this post?

sure. just send more than one pic and a good description :)
