Janet, I am a little surprised but happy to hear from you. It's been a while since I have seen you in these parts. I was thinking of you when I started this thread because I know that you have sold quite a few images. If there is such a thing as mainstream fractal art, we can probably find it on your site. I was hoping to hear from others. I know that several artists on Renderosity have sold images. I have to ask, how much of selling art comes down to marketing? I am pretty sure that the calendar is more about marketing than about fine art. This year, like past years, it was placed right below the beefcake firemen calendar. Now I suppose there are a few who would consider beefcake firemen fine art but they don't do much for me. Maybe the calendar publishers know the market better that the rest of us. What do you consider fine art? Is there a difference marketable art and real art? Keith
