When it comes to favorite holiday gifts, art prints are gaining on music and books. In fact, nearly $20 billion was spent on art and framing last year. This year, why not give the gift of art?

• Order prints of your own work for business colleagues.
• Stock up on framed pieces for friends and loved ones.
• Pick up some gift cards and let them choose exactly what they want.

Get your shopping out of the way early -- and spend your time doing stuff that's actually fun.

New Features: You asked, we delivered

We've been hard at work improving the site to give you more control over your work. Here are a few of the changes you asked for:

• New watermarking option: Now you can watermark your images with a subtle logo for security reasons.
• No more cropping feature in member art! Now no one can mess with the aspect ratio of your images -- they'll always stay exactly the way you uploaded them.
• New image preview feature: This new pop-up control darkens the rest of the site, so users can get a better look at your work.
• Have more than one gallery? Now all your galleries are shown at the top of the page, so it's always clear that there's more work to check out.

And more big features are on the way. Here's a sneak peek:

• An entirely new member admin -- clearer and easier to navigate.
• A new framing engine, for the best online framing capabilities in existence.
• New bulk upload tool. You'll be able to upload multiple images right from your desktop.
• We're also developing the new marketing tools you asked for -- so keep the great ideas coming!

Wow! Huge Traffic This Month!

If you've experienced any delays, we're sorry -- but heck, there are definitely worse problems to have than too much traffic!
