yeah, i can understand that, and i don't think it's so odd - you want to see it and, sometimes, know the artist too. but that doesn't exclude online marketplaces as long as they are local (i didn't explain completely, but the site i used as an example has artists local to me). and i guess that also explains sumo's approach? choosing a particularly good item and then having a first-to-buy approach gives both a carrot (attractive to many) and stick (limited availability) to overcome the remote factor. thanks for the replies. i was curious how it could work and now it makes more sense.

I'm very glad you said this. It's exactly what we're going for at Artsicle.com. Supporting your local artists by renting their artwork. If you like it, buy it. I'm sorry to say, we're not shipping outside the U.S. right now ;)
