Hi!

Lately I’ve received many questions regarding art widgets. I can sum them like this:

1. What is a widget?

An art widget looks like a comment, but it doesn’t need to be just one thing. It can include your body of work: additional works, BIO, inspiration, new, links… whatever you want. Like a mini-site.

2. Why should I make one?

There are few reasons to invest a bit more time to create a widget about your work:

A. By adding your info, you give deeper understanding about your work.

B. It can be embedded anywhere on the web - by you and your fans.

C. Search engines can read it, as opposed to Jpg/regular flash.

Here are some examples:

Look at the Widget Byron King Created:

He added: Some of his works in slides, links & a look into his studio (video).

SuicideHappy made one on her Dolls series:

She added inspiration, album of the series & links pages.

F.P.D. (Fanatic Panda Dude) made gifts: postcards that you can embed wherever you want.

You can find them in Galerie de la Royal Digital (VanillaRoyal’s collaborative gallery, I will write more about it soon).

If you want us to show your art, make us an art widget and we will show it here & in our social profiles :)
