We've Got an Art Plot

so i was recently asked to check out this site called MyArtPlot. so i did. here is what it's all about. MyArtPlot, MAP (short) is a web page that identifies itself as a global community for artists, artisans, and craftspeople. when you first go on the page you find a few compartmentalized sections. the main item that you can delve into is the shopping section, as most other sections may not be accessible if you don't have a user login. well, online shopping is what i can do with a quick eye so that was my focus. upon first glance, you'll notice that this website must be fairly new (i couldn't find its birthday when searching) because it doesn't have the quantity of selection that maybe already unmentioned auction/community based selling sites have, but that will probably be only a temporary issue. most of the items were more esotericly based and less commercial. the main sections were Arts and of course...Crafts. there were alot of interesting items in both categories. anyway, what makes this website different from the other unmentioned buying community-based websites? well, this part i like the most, they let you review/critique items posted by members and these don't include whether the person shipped the item on time. here's a little taste of what you can find online. The first one is a necklace by artist Tilly Bloom.
