July 24th, 2009 nate 5 comments

Friday is here again! And on Fridays, I share some of my Friday Favorites. This week I wanted to take some time and highlight some of our amazing member artists taking full advantage of their Imagekind Storefronts. Also, member artist John Kraft just announced the release of his new children’s book featuring artwork for sale right in his Imagekind gallery!

10 Amazing Imagekind Artists’ Storefronts

With the recent launch of Imagekind Storefronts a few weeks ago we have seen some truly amazing artists take advantage of the customizing features. Customizing your Imagekind Storefront can help make it more personal and showcase your artwork, your way. There are so many different customization options available and each of the below has set theirs up a little differently than the rest.

Take a look at 10 of the top Imagekind Artists’ Storefronts.

John Kraft Releases New Children’s Book “The Little Lost Boat”

Imagekind artist John Kraft has been busy the past several months creating his first ever children’s book, The Little Lost Boat. John just released the book for sale this week and you can order a copy from his website. In addition to writing the book, he also did all of the artwork and illustrations included. It is really cool to see the level of creativity Imagekind artists have.

John has made some of the artwork and illustrations included in the book for sale as framed artwork on Imagekind. Stop on by his gallery where you can purchase artwork from the Little Lost Boat!

Also, if you love John’s work as much as we do, be sure to visit the Facebook Fan page he created for the book here. And check out the really cool video that features some of the artwork in the book. Take a look!
