Expansion of "art" and "artist" groups on I Antique Online

This group is for students of, or artists that create in basically what would be considered the "outsider" genre. Art brut, visionary art, vernacular art, recovery art etc all fall under the heading "outsider" in academia these days.

Comment by Antiques in Bethania on July 29, 2011 at 8:26pm: To all members of I antique on Line - this is a great place, but what even makes it greater is being able to "see" you --- and by seeing you, this does not mean your actually self but an identity or pseudo image if you will, that could be anything you want to be (within reason). I have many different Avatars - or images - but here I like using a photo of my brick and mortar store. I also like using my puppies - one such photo is of my Yorkie Zoie with her five puppies beneath her, and one pup in particular named Mackie who at the same time I snapped the picture, rolled on his back. This is definitely a Kodak moment. However; you do not have to be camera proficient and can even choose clip art or anything free from the Internet.

We want you to have an enjoyable time here, and to stay a while. which means we would like to "see you" !!!!
