Wow!

I have been trying to get this news up here since yesterday, but I was too busy with other stuff related to it at the office, and then promptly passed out when I got home, so was unable to get to it till now.

Out of the blue (or, out of the mailbox, I suppose), a couple of copies of "AD COLLECTORS" showed up here late last week. This is a special supplement to the Italian edition of Architectural Digest magazine, one specifically targeted to "collectors" to give them tips on what's "hot" and is likely to be greatly increasing in value over the next several years.



As you can guess from these scans of the various pages involved ... they are recommending the collecting of "metaverse art", and specifically mention (in the expanded blurb on the page with a lot of portraits) Avatrait, both the in-world Gallery (LINK) and the sales of hard-copy framed prints through our Evanston, IL offices (via Avatrait.com).

In the article (which we had translated over the weekend) they discuss Second Life art with various gallery owners in Europe, who quote pieces going for as much as 7,000 euros ... needless to say, Avatrait's current pricing is a steal! As it happens, the majority of the images they used (including the cover) are by Avatrait artists ... so you know we're excited.

More later ...
