Posted on March 2, 2014 by dennisbuckman

The internet is filled with hundreds of companies that offer to help artists sell prints of their work. I have chosen two. Fine Art America and Zazzle. I’ve learned that POD companies have a very strange attitude when it comes … Continue reading →

Dragoon Arizona Formations

Posted on February 25, 2014 by dennisbuckman
