One foot in the hustle and bustle of the wonderful Twin Cities and the other foot deeply planted in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. I suppose "urban lumberjack" might be the appropriate term. I am a recent Computer Science and Art graduate from The University of Minnesota. By day I am a web developer for this here site, and by night I am the Executive Director of TC based Adamantine Arts as well as an aspiring artist, musician, and experimental cook. I am working on being involved more in the community here, so please consider me to be just another member. I usually am interested in art, music, politics, and humor stories. Yup, so that is me in a nutshell. Word.

Adamantine Arts Announces Froogle Support for Galleria

Money – Adamantine Arts announced today that items from its upcoming Galleria will be made available to Froogle (Google's online product search). This is huge for artists who are looking to sell prints and originals. Adopting Google's Froogle API would make it easy for artists to publish available artwork for sale on their homepage or myspace, etc. They could even setup their own 3rd party shops using Adamantine Arts as the database. Does anyone else think "Affiliate Program" when they hear this? All this comes on the announcement of the Adamantine Arts API.
