|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Art Flakes. Anyone ever worked with these guys? Johnny Vy, Photographer, Photo Editor Los Angeles | CA | | Posted: 6:46 PM on 04.12.11 ->> I just got an email from some marketing director from Artflakes.com, about a working partnership with them. They look like a company from Germany, selling prints for commission. I was wondering if anyone here has gotten this email from them, and was wondering if it was some kind of scam. Judging from the email, it does not sound like your typical broken-english scam artist, but the sign up process to be a partner is a little too "non-selective" for my comfort. https://www.artflakes.com/member/account/edit_essential?perishable_token=ll... They claim that you get to keep your own copyright, and it appears to be another "vehicle" with which to sell your prints, and they make commission off of it. Has anyone on here ever heard of them? If so, what are your impressions?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I haven't had time to reply yet but was wondering about it. So, has anyone given this a go? It looks like one more avenue to make money off some fine art prints.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
