The internet allows your artwork to break through the geographical barriers and become virtually accessible from any country in the world making way for market expansion. Not only does it provide two-way communicative marketing, it also improves integrity by giving you the chance to tell potential clients about your artwork and why you are Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123957217278528801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-86774849685926637952012-12-30T11:46:19.432-05:002012-12-30T11:46:19.432-05:00Yes to both.

You would have your domain SmudgedTextilesStudio.com or SmudgedTextiles.com (I'd go for the shorter the better!)and you can either have a static front page and have your blog on another tab or have your blog the front page and all of the other info on other tabs.

I may take a look and move on but usually don't save it. But then the blogs for me are good reading. I love getting to know the artists and I'm not usually looking to purchase, except screens which I've had doneHollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-3925158496212483182012-12-27T23:05:19.038-05:002012-12-27T23:05:19.038-05:00Yes to both if you're going "full on pro&...Yes to both if you're going "full on pro" (I've considered you Pro since I first discovered you & your art).

A web site is first impressions and facts and the blog is something you have with a coffee. It's funny how these things can be daunting, feel the fear and do it anyway hey.

I have an Etsy store with small pieces that I made but wouldn't submit to a gallery or competition. I think the website is an introduction to galleries, commissions, etc. A blog shows what you are doing week to week with your art and creativity and can pass on information to others on methods, stumbling blocks, and can lead to Regina B Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377568746998756667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-58046493606007821732012-12-27T22:20:05.438-05:002012-12-27T22:20:05.438-05:00I think you really need both in order to have a tr...I think you really need both in order to have a truly professional side and a side that allows you to be personable and human! You have a huge professional side, growing by leaps and bounds, so you absolutely need the best website you can figure out. And re-branding as you are doing is very difficult, but you need that, too, to reflect your growth.
