picturebox
here is another web shop i wish i had made: new york based mastodont picture box. it is an artsy publishing and art shop that produces and sells literature, art books, comics and graphic novels. it also offers other stuff such as prints, posters and hooded sweaters, which reminds me of artrebels.com that i have previously written about, and which could be seen as a danish baby sister version of picturebox. picturebox seemingly reach (a number of) niche markets, and it has all the fancy amazon sales features like “if you liked this…” etc. which makes it work quite efficiently.
PictureBox specializes in bringing artists’ visions to print in startling and unexpected ways. […] The web site functions as both the PictureBox catalog and a hub for a carefully curated international selection of artists products.
the site is edited by Dan Nadel who is also behind the ganzfeld (among many other things), an annual book on arts (and a web site with the coolest header ever seen - don’t forget to caress it!). credits to my superb brother for links and insights.
i think picturebox is cool because it runs its own show while curating others’. i would love to do something like that.
