Artfinder vrs Degree art

Art finder and degree art are both websites very unsuited to my practice and are very unfriendly towards illustration, having no labelled sections for it. The two websites are very deeply in fine art however his is what me and casey could find on the website.

Artfinder

  • you have a large delay in pay when you first sign up and sell your work
  • it's free to list your work
  • works are usually larger sums of money
  • %70 of the money goes to the artist
  • large community
  • original art only 
  • limmited edition capped at 150, must all be signed and numbered
  • you have to go through a reveiw process first
  • has a heavy viewer and water drop off thus resulting in a high turnover of users 
  • partnered with moo and several interior design projects
  • website is not compartmentalized very well

Degree art

  • student and graduate oriented
  • hand picked, £75 sign up fee
  • has art rental services
  • residencies
  • aimed at high end investors
  • focused on fine art even more, very little in the way of illustration
  • has sponserships and partner programs
 Although i would not like to use any of these two websites i feel i would lean towards artfinder due to its more free nature, even though it does suffer from a high turn around. Artfinder did at-least have some illustrators, even if they were largely buried.
