My new artist stock site is ready!


There is some exciting news I wanted to share with you fellow artists, friends and visitors.

Ever since I went down the path of becoming a digital artist I started collecting photos from everyday life and travels to be able to use these photos in my art projects. As the years has gone by I have gathered a stock library of more than 60 000 photos and still counting. I’m sharing around 1000 of them for free here on deviantArt so that others like myself, can use them for creating artworks.

I know full well how expensive it can get to try and buy stock images from the big stock sites and most of the time I’ve ended up using what I can find from other generous artists and photographers here on dA instead. But sometime you just need that one image you can’t find anywhere except from some expensive site where you need to sign up for a monthly subscription or do some other kind of huge payment to be able to access it. For a lot of art students, hobby artists and even professional artists that is a huge expense that they cannot afford.

So I’ve decided to put up around 35 000 of my photos on my own stock site which is dedicated for artists and students or anyone that need very affordable stock images for using in artworks, designs and other art projects. The whole purpose of my stock site is that you do not need to have a subscription to buy any image, they are all charged a measly $1 flat fee per image and you buy as you go. The reason I have to charge a small amount per image is that it has taken a lot of work to get this site running, and every month it costs me money to run it. To be able to afford sharing my own personal stock library with all of you I have to charge something to cover that cost.

Please head over to my stock site  CA-Stock.com and have a look around. Perhaps you’ll find some images you need in your next project, or perhaps you'll find some photos that will inspire you to create your next masterpiece!

Keep creating, never stop creating and much love to you all :heart:

Great idea and wonderful website. I already bookmarked it to my Stock folder!

I'm actually planning to do the same thing with my stock, DamselStock. I would like to be able to sell commercial licenses of my stock, especially child stock, on my own website to avoid the whole DeviantArt Points to Dollar conversion fees. I also do not like having to wait 15 days or so in order for a sale to "clear."

Did you create your shopping cart system yourself or did you hire a designer or use a pre-built shopping cart system? I'm trying to research which shopping cart system would be best for stock.
