Artist SubscribersAll artists get a 100% membership to Obsessed Artist. Why take money from the people we support and are the ones that need it? Obsessed Artist gives the artist 65% commission on their artwork sold through the company. We do allow artist to increase the value of their artwork which allows them to make a larger profit. As we grow we will decrease the amount that Obsessed Artist takes from the purchases. Due to the costs of printing/shipping and handling costs OA starts with a bottom price on all artwork. The increased amount is the value which pays the artist. 5% of all sales is donated to non-profits to support the creativity in the world!

Why the black background?We've been inspired by google search engine operated "blackle" that has to date saved around 2,000,000 Watt hours. By blacking out our site we are reducing the Wattage used from requiring less back-lighting. Though it seems like a small step, it adds up, and we hope to continue inspiring the message of energy preservation.
