So I have signed up with Artybuzz, a UK print-on-demand website, and uploaded a few of my images there. There is a maximum file size and most of the scans of my pastel paintings are too big and will need some work on re-sizing. But I’m a bit concerned about whether the site is actually still active! I asked a question about the re-sizing through the contact form as I was puzzled as to how they could produce large prints from such small files. But I didn’t receive any reply. So I looked them up on facebook and twitter and found there had been no activity since last summer, which set the alarm bells ringing!
Does anyone reading this use Artybuzz? And if so, do you know whether it is still functioning – and whether anyone makes sales through the site? Another thing that has puzzled me is that I can’t find anything on the website about ‘payment’!!! But if the site is no longer operational, that doesn’t really matter!

Your pastel art is just beautiful and as you noted would be lovely as prints. I don't know of any place that does this and know nothing of the site you listed. I have thought about getting prints made myself. I hope you have some luck with finding out if this site is still operating. :-)
Hi Crystal - thank you for your kind comments! Another artist - from Norwich, where I used to live! - commented on one of my pieces the other day, but that's been the only sign of life so far! So different from Red Bubble, where there was loads of activity as soon as I signed up, the disadvantage being that it's based in Australia and many of my paintings are of places in the UK. It all seems a bit eerie on Artybuzz!
Love your pastel work, it's so pretty.
Thank you, Brenda - I really enjoy using soft pastels!
I like the way it displays, I'll look into it or is it just for your part of the world?
Hi Carole - I've discovered today that there's a contest starting today on the site so it must be alive and kicking! And no, there are artists on there from all over the world.
