Promoting Your Art: Mailers and Drop-Offs

At USA on Canvas, we receive countless amount of print orders from professional and amateur artists from all over US who do traditional and digital artworks mostly for their customers. 

We encourage artists to sell their prints through us by offering an account with re-seller/pro discount.

When placing orders online you can enter any address in US or Canada as your shipping address, if you send labels or stickers we can attach them for you. Please note still the shipping boxes will have our labels on them.

Before everyone is ready to apply for the re-seller/pro account, we would like to go over promotional prints, the classic way to promote your art. Nowadays, there are bountiful online portfolio sites and online shops available for the artists to reach out for their potential customers.

Giant Athletes Appear In Rio De Janeiro

Sports players and fans all around the world are enthusiastically gathered in Rio to celebrate the world's quadrennial event, Olympic Games Rio 2016. We are glad that there are artists are among them.

In anticipation of the Olympic Games opening this week-end in Rio De Janeiro, French artist JR unveiled a series of giant installations. The first giant street art piece represents Sudanese athlete Mohamed Younes Idriss who lives and trains in cologne, germany. ‘He missed out on qualification for the 2016 rio olympics but he is there some how,’ JR says. The second artwork which  can be found around the barra neighborhood, showing a diver leaping into an adjacent area of the ocean. also attached to large-scale metal beams, the artwork illustrates an athlete with arms stretched open hovering over nearby rocks and making its way into the water below. via StreetArtNews
  

JR (...) describes himself as a photograffeur, 

he flyposts large black-and-white photographic images in public locations, 

in a manner similar to the appropriation of the built environment by the graffiti artist. 

He states that the street is "the largest art gallery in the world"

... 

JR's work combines art and action, and

deals with commitment, freedom, identity and limits.

The installations utilize a new technique for JR that sees his signature use of photography printed on giant sheets of fabric attached to scaffolds. From comments on Instagram it sounds like we may get to see a few more of these over the next few days. via ThisIsColossal
