Here's the story: he organization leading this effort is One Village Planet and you can get more information from their website here: http://www.onevillageplanet.org/ It is a 501(c)(3) registered tax-deductible organization working with coastal communities and fisher groups to look for solutions to preserve mangroves and coastal ecosystems in the North of the country. With the fishing areas suffering from serious overfishing, fish stocks have declined and the communities are losing their livelihoods. Mangroves are at danger of being cut down beyond the point of recovery, for the production of charcoal. One Village Planet is preparing to launch a mangrove honey initiative to provide an economic alternative to the fishermen in the area. I live and work in the area and have seen the work that One Village Planet is doing and I am impressed by their involvement in the communities they serve. I would like to donate any royalties generated from the sales of the Haiti posters in my Qoop store to help finance the construction of beehives to help promote the effort. As I add pictures to Qoop, I will expand the number of posters being offered for this cause. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

The book itself is the story of the New York Etching Club -- one of the earliest groups to embrace the then-new art form of etching -- told through the group's meeting minutes and artworks from 1877 through 1893. The culmination of nearly 10 years’ research, the book is more than the reproduction of an important art-historical document. The author, Stephen Fredericks, infuses the minutes with more than 100 illustrations, including photographs of the artists, reproductions of their works and reproductions of catalogs and other publications of the day. Fredericks arranged the illustrations in historical order, so that a given year’s minutes also include work by the etching club’s members done in that year. As a result, the reader can see the development of members’ skills and techniques, and the growing sophistication of the surrounding community of collectors and critics, as the artists ply and refine their craft. "In this enlightening study, Stephen Fredericks brings to life the little-documented revival of etching that flourished in the United States during the last quarter of the 19th century," said Roberta Waddell, curator of prints emerita for the New York Public Library. "In his excellent introduction and in his annual summaries of the club's activities, he explores concerns that continue in various guises to engage artists today, among them the issue of the ‘original’ versus the ‘reproductive’ print and the role of the commercial print publisher." The original 21 members of the New York Etching Club were all established artists -- painters, photographers, architects, designers and others known for their commercial trade work in engraving, lithography and mezzotint. Fredericks is an artist printmaker who lives and works in New York City. He is the founder of both the New York Society of Etchers and the New York Etcher’s Press. His work, which has been widely exhibited, can be found in many collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Print Research Foundation, the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, the New York Public Library, the U.S. Library of Congress and the Chongqing Museum of Art in China. http://blogs.qoop.com/qoop/2009/04/were_the_store_behind_rice_uni.html http://blogs.qoop.com/qoop/2009/04/were_the_store_behind_rice_uni.html Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:22:42 -0800 QOOP landscape widget We’ll be coming out with full on iframe stores with customization of colors so that you can paste your store in an existing gallery site, blogs, theme, or publisher sites.]]> http://blogs.qoop.com/qoop/2009/03/get_your_qoop_store_sharing.html http://blogs.qoop.com/qoop/2009/03/get_your_qoop_store_sharing.html Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:09:36 -0800 Stock Image Downloads We’ve added the ability to sell your images through Stock Downloads with Standard, Extended, and Resale license levels for buyers. From a single listing you can sell your images as Stock Downloads and sell all our other product offerings. We’ve preset Stock Downloads so they are “on” and preset royalties and retail price points from competitive research online so you can get started by simply loading your images and adding titles, artist, tags, and descriptions so buyers can find your works in the QOOP Galleria and through web search. The pricing model for selling stock images works the same way as all our pricing for products: Base Price + Your Royalty + QOOP Processing Fee = Retail Price. You can review on our Pricing Model page for further information. You should also check out the Stock Content License Agreement buyers agree to when they purchase your image for use. You tailor what options are available for Stock Downloads and adjust your royalties within the Image Listing Defaults pages described below. Image Listing Defaults Product Selection and Royalty Controls We let you pick what products you want to sell. If you want to offer stock downloads, prints, framed prints, posters, and cards in specific sizes but not offer gift items such as mugs and mouse pads you can easily disable gifts. You have 3 levels to your product selection control: Universal Control: IMAGE LISTING DEFAULTS (found in your ACCOUNTS TAB under myQOOP Accounts Administration when you login) Here you can set ALL your image listings to have the same pricing and product selection. We suggest you keep this as broad as possible because we give you the ability to override these settings for specific batch uploads and for individual image listings. Batch Upload or Import Control: BATCH IMAGE LISTING DEFAULTS (found during the upload or import process when you are editing your listings) This control allows you to override your account settings for the Batch you just uploaded and apply special royalties and enable/disable specific products for sale. Individual Image Control: INDIVIDUAL IMAGE LISTING DEFAULTS (found during the upload or import process below the Batch settings; also found in your myQOOP listings, by double clicking on a listing, then go to Edit Item) The control allows you to set the royalties and enable specific products for a single image listing. You might have a special image you cropped for square format so you can use this control to turn on 6x6, 12x12, 20x20 prints only if you want.
