If you’re looking to sell something, you’ve got choices out there.  The simple trick is finding the right market!  Few of us have the time, tenacity or talent to build an algorithmic-savvy personal site to sell stuff, especially when someone else already has, and even drives hits.  If you want to sell used electronics, a desk or handmade items, the choices are pretty obvious.

But what if you’re an artist?

What if you want to sell a killer illustration you just finished?  What if you’re really talented and can draw whatever someone asks you to, well enough to get paid for it?  How do you strut your stuff where the right people are listening?

Enter Voottoo.  It’s an open platform that’s not a museum of images, but a robust store-front for your license, commission, and product business.  We’re geared for commerce, so we provide a professional, modern environment for interaction among buyers, sellers and branded-product companies (i.e. SkinIt).

So now you’ve got the marketplace… what about the interaction?  With good art, a human element is already there, because the maker is intrinsically embedded.  Art lovers crave  connection with the ‘man behind the curtain’, which is why it’s so cool to get autographs! (And why originals cost big bucks.)

And it’s also why this industry stands to reap serious benefit from social networking – buyers already want to connect with artists!  On Voottoo, post your art and tell your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or even other art sites that it’s for sale here with one of our Goodies.  Follow your favorite artists, and get their work on your cell phone and laptop with skins from SkinIt.  Automatically manage a commission, post the final work in your gallery, and use it as a promotion for more jobs, like she did.  We’re constantly putting new ideas into action!

At Voottoo, we’re artists and art lovers with a serious passion for helping create more of it, by making art, commerce and community collide.
