This website
This website is a showcase for artisans who wish to make their services available to the public.  Each craftsperson represented here has sample work available for viewing, may display pieces currently available for purchase, and accepts requests for custom pieces.  All works available through this site are original creations.  That's about all that can be said about the site contents as a whole.  This is a very recent undertaking, which is still emerging from the initial development stage.
The artists
This project was started by a group of friends who share a similar artistic bent.  Most of us started as hobbyists whose work developed enough demand that it became a primary focus and source of income.  We have no interest in mass producing our work, or giving up our creative time to promote it, and so here we are.  For some of us, this website is the first place our work has been publicly offered.  Others have years of training and experience plying our trade.  We know and trust eachother and work well together.  If you really think you belong here too, well, perhaps you do.   : )
The art
This is a kid safe site.  Currently, our categories include:  Photography, Portraiture, Graphic arts, Web design, Jewelry Design, and Custom Costumes.  Some of these are complementary, and we LOVE to collaborate on projects.  We don't limit ourselves to "serious" work.  We enjoy what we do, whether the intended result is beautiful, silly, or simply defies description.  So long as it isn't obscene, feel free to make an odd request.  Our entire existence is one big weird project, anyway.
All graphic images on this site are copyrighted material, and may not be used for any purpose without the express consent of the artist(s) they belong to.  Questions regarding products or services should be directed to the individual artisans.  The VTC/ArtisanAlley.net does not guarantee works purchased or commissioned from all our artisans.  It's not that we aren't interested; we certainly are.  In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied, please do notify us by email, but; unless you aren't the first person to file a complaint, there isn't much we can do about it.  Thanks for visiting Artisan Alley... please come back soon!
