ArtQuotes.net was started many moons ago. I would like to say twenty years ago but that would make me feel old. So lets just say it was a while ago.
Who am I?
The monkey behind the scenes posting things on ArtQuotes.net is me, an Australian artist, Dion Archibald. I’m an “emerging artist” even though I have passed 40 years of age. I’ve had a very stop/start life as an artist as I have had issues with focus, issues with authority, issues with painting what people want, issues with doing the things required to be a professional working artist. So I’m not represented by a gallery and have never really been interested in the idea. I’ve sold quite a few painting online through my website over the years but never enough to make a full time income. I’ve made my living from websites with advertising and affiliate marketing.
Art Quotes Now and Future
So I mentioned how the Art Quotes website crumbled here, but the future will be bright, I hope 🌞. I plan to focus firstly on quotes and sayings by creatives. So artists, painters, photographers, singers, musicians, architects, sculptors, writers and other famous creative people.
Once I have the art quotes part of the artquotes.net website sorted I’ll then look to expand into working artist interviews and profiles of artists that I love. If you ever visited the site back when I used to put a lot of time and energy into it you’ll know that I used to profile a new artist each month. It was a lot of fun. I loved doing it and people enjoyed discovering new artists. So I’ll definitely be doing that again. Let me know if you’re an awesome artist and would like to be profiled in the future and you might be first to be featured.
So, that’s it for now. I’ll get back behind the curtains and pull my finger out.
Thank you for being here. It makes me smile 😁
Cheerio
