IndieMade

Every December, I always look back on the year about to pass and look forward to the year getting ready to unfold. This is true both in art and life. 2014 started off with a check mark when I accomplished a (very) long-standing goal of starting a website. This blog has always been home base for me but I knew that as an artist I needed a place to send people to easily find my artwork. I also wanted to able to have full control over my online shop. So in the later half of 2013, I began to explore platforms and after much research, decided to create my website using IndieMade. Nearly one year to the date of going live, I cannot be more pleased with the result.

The founder of IndieMade, Jennifer Rapp Peterson, is not only both creative and business-minded, she is a genuinely nice person. She recently interviewed me about my path to, process of, and plans for being an artist. You can read the entire interview - The Altered World of Seth Apter - here.

A Website is Born

For me, 2014 is about dreaming big, making plans, and achieving goals.

There is no time like the present and I wanted to start off the new year by checking off a goal that I have had in mind for many years: my very own website.

My blog will always be my home base, but I have wanted to have an online site where it is easier for people to find my artwork -- without digging through years of posts. The format of a website makes it the perfect spot. Not only will you see my artwork (organized by category no less) but you will also find an event calendar, updated lists of my workshops, publications, exhibitions, and press features, and (of course) a link to my blog.

Lastly, you will find a new online shop at the website as well. The shelves are stocked with my artwork, my stencils, my DVDs, and signed copies of my books. I will be keeping my Etsy shop active as well but will only sell work priced under $100 on Etsy. The shop on my website will include a wider range of artwork, including pieces I have not been available online before.

Please stop by the website and have a look around. I plan to update it frequently, so feel free to bookmark it and visit often. Any feedback, glowing or critical, is welcome!
