1.) Why Your JPEGs Aren’t Making You A Millionaire by Brad Troemel

Interesting piece from Brad, in which he offers his thoughts on why internet artists don’t - and won’t - make money from their work.

“Internet artists, for all of their digital-native wisdom, should know better than to think .JPEGs are a viable commodity when they’ve seen multi-billion dollar industries like music, film, and newspapers run around like baffled idiots for the past decade trying to figure out why they can’t sell MP3s, MOVs, and PDFs like they used to in traditional media.”

2.) “C.R.E.A.M.” at Art Micro-Patronage, Now In Excessive Detail! by Will Brand

On a related note, be sure to go back and read Will’s thoughtful review of curator Lindsay Howard’s online group exhibition “C.R.E.A.M.”, written a couple of weeks back for Art Fag City.
