PS: I just recorded a quick 1:41 explainer video to share why I believe now is the moment for artists to lean into prints. With galleries consolidating and becoming more selective, artists building lasting careers aren't waiting to be discovered—they’re using print-on-demand to create their own momentum. That’s why I’ve released the 20th Anniversary, 3rd Edition of How to Profit from the Art Print Market—the foundation of the Art Print Insider system. Prints aren’t just an opportunity anymore—for independent artists, they’re becoming essential.
