Artastic: Girls Collection

Artastic wants to help undiscovered artists meet new fans who’ll love their work.

Hi, my name is Hitomi, or Blizz-Mii. I’m organizing the Artastic art book.

Any artist knows that it's a long ride up the popularity ladder. A lot of artists remain pretty much undiscovered, despite being very talented. I wanted to try tackling that problem, so I came up with the idea for this art book.

It features two kinds of artists: those who have a lot of fans, and those who have the skills but haven’t gotten much exposure.

Popular artists help advertise, and lesser known artists receive greater exposure. Artastic showcases beautiful artwork from all of these talented folks.

Artists who already have a lot of fans have an asset: they can help market the book to people who might be interested. Each royalties artist gets 5% of the book's price, as incentive to join the project. Their help in advertising gives the lesser known artists exposure, and likely new fans. It’s a win-win deal. This is an experimental project to see if this arrangement works out.
