Getting your artwork on an ipod

gelaskins.com

This is a new site that produces protective ipod skins with the art work of new artists. The skins are applied to the ipod making the ipod look ten times better. This site uses artists with mostly a contempory look. Images of your art work can be submitted for their perusal before they decide to use your artwork.

PROS

This site is new so there are not many artists using this site at the moment. The site is simple to navigate. ipods are very popular as we all know, getting your work out there on other peoples ipods is a great way to get your art recognised and at the same time earn a modest commission.

CONS

This is a small site at the moment so not as many people as you might like will visit this site but on the plus side they have started an affiliate program so many more people will be likely to visit it in the future. In the begining they only had work from current artists but more recently they have added work of some famous artists as the images are past the copyright laws date(as the artists are dead eg. hokusai), obviously this is bad for new up and coming artists who have to compete with the more famous images/artists.

SUMMARY

Good idea for a product, it doesn't look like ipods will go away for some time so this could be a good source of commision and promotion for an artist for some time to come.
