Dress Up Your Walls With Imagekind

We've already told you about online art purveyors like Photofiddle, Avalisa, and Ugallery, and the world of Internet art buying continues to develop.

Instead of offering just one major art form like photography, canvass work customizable by color or size, or as at Ugallery, works by college students, the new breed of online art site is a strong community, like Imagekind.

This online art community delivers on-demand printing and custom framing of images you upload yourself or purchase from the site. Imagekind's vast collection features droves of photos, prints, mixed media and paintings from museum masters and members who sign up for free and show their wares to the world. 

And it's the member's work which is most  unforgettable. I've been trolling this site now for about 20 minutes and have no plans to jump ship. It's so well organized and easy to navigate that I can't help but click. From what I've seen so far, every member of this community has something significant to offer, and I don't want to miss one of them. For my famously picky art tastes, this site marks a real challenge: deciding which one buy.

Although, I shouldn't even be sure I'll choose member art. There is the matter of my two-year-old wedding photos, none of which has yet appeared in frame. Imagekind gallery frames could easily hold a suite of images lovely enough to quiet my mother's constant but gentle reminders that she doesn't even have one photo of her only daughter's wedding. That's tempting.

Of course, I will narrow my choices and choose wisely. And when I do, I will update you on the quality of the result, and perhaps even show you how it looks in my own home. Until then, check it out yourselves.
