"the banner looks great and I have had so much more traffic to my
page on absolute arts! I can't believe the
difference it makes in just the first day and I am very happy I made the

"I want to thank those responsible for the web article regarding my
Global Warming piece.
I appreciate that and the support I get from absolutearts.com. It is
funny, I have a very
slick web site that I direct gallery owners to but it does not
generate anywhere near
as much traffic or sales as does absolutearts.com. I remain a fan!"

"absolutearts.com has been a super pleasure to work with........the
marketing and features in the Premiere Artist Portfolio program are
OUTSTANDING (especially the Portfolio Traffic Reports). All sales have
been handled professionally and promptly. The added feature of the
credit card service gives a lot of service and security to the customer.
In short, WWAR is my main business webpage; I'm dumping all others!"

Russell Bentley,
I have been very pleased with my Premier Portfolio for the past year, it
played a part in three sales, two giclee prints and one original acrylic
painting, one of the giclee print sales was handled thru a credit card on
line purchase, I was very impressed with the way it was handled, and so was
the customer.
Thanks,
Russell Bentley

Jeffrey Landis,
I was very pleased with the personal customer service my transactions on
absolurearts.com received. I recommend the site to all my friends as the
perfect way to have a web presence without the hassle of creating and
maintaining a private website.

Linda Armstrong,
I have sold a number of works through the credit card services at
absolutearts.com. Now, when buyers ask about buying pieces online, I refer
them to the site. My sales have all been quick, easy, and pleasant.
Shipping
costs have been calculated and added to the price. I don't have to worry
about checks that don't clear and my collectors don't have to worry about
paying for art that doesn't show up. I would recommend this service to both
artists and collectors.
Thank you, World Wide Arts Resources, for making the business of art
easier.

Bayo Iribhogbe,
I am very satisfied with the way you handle business on line. Apart from
being able to sell my work through your system, I also have been making
contacts with your publications of other opportunities.
An example is 'BB International Fine Art' at Zurich that came up on your
World Wide Arts Resources last year. I am accepted to participate in their
show in October 14-17.
An independent artist like me who wants to expand his horizon, your
program is an indispensable tool.
Now I am always looking forward to your mail for more interests.
Thank you Janet and others members involved!

I'm a 23 year old artist, who basically owes much of my blooming
career to your website.
Last year my resume only consisted of a few group
shows, and a solo show on Staten Island, hardly the
mecca of the artworld. Since I have had a premiere
portfolio, I was invited to be in more than six
shows, from Manhattan to Brooklyn to Brazil, including
what is my greatest artistic accomplishment, the
international "Artlives" show, which will take
place in London this spring.
Many of the artists for the show were chosen from
Featured Portfolios of the day, artists from all
over the world. The final numbers are 33 artists from 16
different countries. I'm one of the few American
artists and am also the youngest in the group in
many ways, as many of the artists involved are extremely
accomplished and respected in their own countries.

I was accepted from your juried September (2002) applicants and set my
site up
right away! The ease of uploading and editing is unsurpassed, and the
statistical
function is truly state-of-the-art! I have been receiving many comments
and inquiries on my paintings, and I believe absolutearts will take my
career to new levels... thank you for putting me in the "Feature" page on
your home page. I had many inquires form it!

In the first month that my work is showed on the absoluteart.com site I
sold three artworks. I just got the orders by e-mail refer to my
artportfolio. The whole world is now my market place. Also my own site
www.johannvandennoort.nl get much more visiters than a month ago.

"Absolutearts is the best thing I ever signed up with.. being a
professional artist/photographer.. I only use this site now.. to show
galleries.. and through this my exposure has been fantastic.. hardcopy
exhibitions of my work has been incredible.. with exhibitions overseas and
in Australia.. I have 2 shows next month in Australia.. unfortunatly had
to refuse one in USA.. because of finances..
Parys St. M. - Australia
Yes, I've sold some things this year- 3 paintings, licenced a piece for
the cover of a magazine and am currently working on a commission which
came through my site on wwar (absolutearts.com)... they offer you a very
inexpensive place to post your work, a very good audience from all over
the world who check in regularly (I've averaged somewhere between10,000 to
20,000 hits per month on my premiere site)- many who are from outside the
U.S.
Walter King - USA
"I've had a portfolio for a long time and to be honest its one of the best
sites on the internet.
My career has taken off and without blowing smoke its had a lot to do with
your site.
This exhibtion opens next week then heads to Europe in March and probally
Hamburg after that so thanks again."
... talk about karma just after I sent you that email the Australian
Embassy in Spain contacted me after seeing my work on your site and we are
to begin discussions about another exhibition in Europe and that was only
an hour ago.
Wayne.Q. - Australia
I have had 19 sales from this site in the last 6 months. Most went to my
website and ordered through the secure server there. Still they went
directly from here to my website {I have stats} Shortly they will be able
to order from here using credit cards. I am averaging 10,000 to 13,000
views a month here. I am a woodworker. Isn't even considered by most
people a profession nor wood an artistic medium. I have had 10 TV show
producers contact me in the last year alone, 4 after viewing my portfolio
here. The number one tip to being successful is hard work.
Johnny Morlan - USA
"I'm new at this and was selected for the Premiere Portfolio and the very
next day, I sold one of my paintings. I was with another website for 6
months at $10 per month and didn't even get an e-mail. I'm looking forward
to a lot more interest generated."

"I would like you to know that I landed a large commission through your
portfolio..."

"I have more people viewing my paintings here than on my own web site,
which has been up for 2 years.
This is a great service for people who create art.
I know how difficult it can be to sell paintings but getting the exposure
is vital. I am thrilled having my paintings on this site."
