What The Christian Web Artist Fellowship will offer you as an artist.
Foremost, fellowship with other Christian ladies with the same interest in the art and drawing of graphics.
There will be a Message Board for interaction.
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another..." I John 1:7
Helpful resources for your graphic business.
There will be a Members Area where we will be sharing articles, links, and know how in order to improve our graphic businesses. We want to work to improve every aspect of our work.
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." Col. 3:23
Guidelines for Our Members
2/22/04----Since there were some questions, I added No. 9
1. Must be a Christian. This group is for those that have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ; realizing that He is first and foremost in our lives.
2. Must have an established online graphics business. You must offer graphics for sale in some form. This group is made up of graphic artists, who are Christian businesswomen as well.
3. Must have a graphics business with a domain. (No Geocities, Msn, Bravenet, etc.) If you've invested in a domain, we know that you are serious minded about your graphics business. If you've got your graphics business combined as an extention with one of your own domains, that is acceptable.
4. Must be an an actual artist or aspiring one with some talent and ability to draw on your own. You do not have to have any art educational background but you must have some talent in order to improve upon. No graphic makers that use pixel patterns, tubes, or only follow step by step tutorials to create their graphics. That is more of a craft form and we would like some serious minded artists in this group that have an interest in depth, perception, scale, shading, and all that drawing freehand (with a mouse of course) entails. You may use tubes in some of your work if it is in addition or along with your own original drawing skills as well. All of our members will be at different levels, but we want there to be some potential in your work to be accepted.
5. No graphic makers will be accepted that plagerize or violate copyright laws in order to maintain a graphics business. This not only includes copying from other artists, but also includes using cross stitch patterns, craft patterns, coloring book patterns, stencil patterns, and rubber stamp patterns for your work.
6. Must have some type of desire to improve upon your work. Please note that this will not be another 'pat on the back' group. We want to actually help each other instead of just 'praise', although there is nothing wrong with 'praise' and we want to encourage that here, but we also want to encourage each other to be better in areas that we may not be the best at in our art work and our online business skills. We want to share advice and input in order to charge each of us to do better. If we are Christians, we don't want to just be average even in our artwork. We want to be the best and there's nothing like, "iron sharpening iron".
7. Please note that this group will not grow beyond a limited number as it is intended to be a small group for fellowship and encouragement. When a group gets too large it is hard to keep up and really blossom relationships into friendships, and we want friendships to grow here.
8. You do not have to participate on the message board at any regular frequency, but please remember that this is a small group. If you haven't been in contact with us in some way for a long period of time, and we feel that your place is better used by someone that would participate, we may ask that you please make it a prayerful consideration to leave the group and let another participate.
9. You do not have to draw or offer any Christian graphics. However; you must not offer any of the provocative dolls, scantily clothed people/doll graphics, or vulgar graphics.
The Graphics on this page are from a Ladies Friendship Collection
which has not been released yet.
