Working artists
Protect the reputation attached to every piece.
You need the physical object to respect the original—without buying inventory, learning a new production process, or packing every order yourself.
For artists, photographers & galleries
Your name on the art.Ours behind the craft.
Sell through your own site, gallery, event, or commission. Choose slim metal with Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matte, white-base, or clear-base options—or substantial 5/8-inch MDF. We prepare the approved panel around your brand and ship it directly.

What the artist is really buying
Not a discount.
Confidence in what carries your signature.
The artwork creates the value. WhittledArt's job is to produce the physical piece carefully, make repeat orders easier, and stay out of the relationship you built with the collector.
Photographers
Turn image files into a consistent edition system.
File review, cropping, first-piece proofing, recorded specifications, and repeat production help keep the presentation consistent as orders arrive.
Galleries & studios
Fulfill the sale without handing away the relationship.
Sell through your own site, event, commission, or gallery. WhittledArt stays behind the work and does not market to your customer.
Simple economics
One production price.
The value of the art is yours.
Artists pay the same published standard MDF prices as commercial buyers and homeowners. Aluminum is quote-only. There is no artist discount, commission, or revenue share. Shipping, optional creative services, custom packing, and special handling are separate when they apply.

The founding workflow
Prove the first piece. Then make the next order easy.
01
Approve the first piece
We review the source file, crop, scale, material, finish, hardware, and packing plan. You approve a digital proof before production.
02
Sell it as your work
You choose the retail price, collect payment, own the customer relationship, and send us the paid order and delivery details.
03
We produce the order
We make the documented ChromaLuxe metal or 5/8-inch MDF panel, inspect it, and prepare the partner-neutral shipment.
04
Your customer receives it
We ship directly when requested and return tracking to you. The customer experience remains centered on your studio.
Partner-neutral fulfillment
Your collector should remember the work—not the fulfillment company.
Neutral packing, approved inserts, return routing, tracking, and issue handling are documented before customer orders begin. WhittledArt does not add promotional material or market to the artist's customer.
Division of responsibility
Artist: selling price, checkout, taxes, customer communication, address accuracy, and ordinary returns.
WhittledArt: approved production configuration, inspection, agreed packing, shipment, tracking, and written manufacturing or shipping-issue process.
Founding artist inquiry
Start with one piece worth putting your name on.
Tell us what you make, how you sell, and where fulfillment creates friction. We'll recommend a practical first-piece test—without asking you to pre-buy inventory or change your storefront.
If you only need one panel, you can choose metal or MDF and start now. Use this inquiry to define repeat or partner-neutral fulfillment.
Standard production currently runs through 20×30 inches. Larger-format planning is open for upcoming capacity.
Artist fulfillment questions
Do artists receive discounted production prices?
No. Artists pay the same published standard MDF prices as every WhittledArt buyer; aluminum is quoted by project. You decide what your work is worth, set the retail price on your own channel, and keep the difference after production, shipping, taxes, and your other selling costs.
Does WhittledArt take a commission or percentage of my sale?
No. WhittledArt charges for production, shipping, and any optional services you approve. We do not take a percentage of the artist's retail sale.
Can an order ship directly to my customer without WhittledArt marketing?
Yes. Partner-neutral fulfillment can use a neutral shipment and an artist-supplied or approved packing insert. Return routing, packing details, and any carrier-label requirements are confirmed during onboarding before customer orders are accepted.
Who owns the customer relationship?
The artist does. The artist is the seller, sets the retail price, collects payment, and handles ordinary customer service and buyer-remorse returns. WhittledArt handles the agreed production work and its written manufacturing or shipping-issue process.
