Artsprojekt is a new joint venture between fellow Atlantan Andy Howell and Zazzle. Here is the brief description of the project from Andy himself:

ARTSPROJEKT is a curated platform that empowers emerging and establish artists and brands to connect, collaborate, and showcase original art, designs and ideas with fans and consumers. 

…

The new ARTSPROJEKT/Zazzle experience offers consumers a robust marketplace with the highest quality retail products, and empowers artists to showcase original art in a safe and secure shopping environment. ARTSPROJEKT is an entirely new community of artistic expression and freedom.

Sounds pretty awesome to me and there is a bunch of submitted work currently on the site, including heavyweights like Shepard Fairey. The real attractive aspect for me is the ability to create custom skateboards. You have to submit some samples of work with your information. According to the site, “[t]he reviewing panel includes museum directors, collections appraisers, and our art management and curatorial staff.”

Anyone else going to submit their work to this? In the back of my mind I am worried about being denied, but you gotta try something like this out when the opportunity arrises. Andy Howell was a big inspiration to me as a young skateboarder and artist, so naturally I am excited.
