Whopple.com	United States	Internet Based-We Feature Artists At No Cost	Interviews With Artists	No Picture
Whopple.com features two to three artists every week. Our goal is to provide more exposure for both emerging and established artists. As a retired Internet Media Publicist, I now donate this time to my featured artists at Whopple. The features are fun and inspiring to read and give an inside look at the artist. I provide free publicity for every artist featured at Whopple.com. There are no charges to become involved. To be featured please write to me at: whopple@whopple.com and include a link to your artwork online. All artists must provide at least 3 jpg pics of artwork, and a picture of themselves. A picture of their art space is also fun but not mandatory. Every artist featured at Whopple.com must have a website where more of their art is featured. This can be their own blog, or an Etsy shop, etc., but it must be solely dedicated to their art. We love artists! Anne Marie Whopple.com				No Picture
