Every medium and genre has its own special needs, so I think the software tries to be comprehensive. Aimee: What are your needs that are different from other artists?

I know it exists - I've seen it on some other artist's sites - can't find it though so, Does anyone know what software product does this?

I started out using the MSWorks database program and then converted it over when I got a new computer with MSOffice on it. I did need some time to learn to set it up and it probably is overkill on what an artist needs for their work. It definately is worth the time it takes to set up whatever kind of database that works for you. I wouldn't know where my work was or all the particulars without it. Every time I send work to a gallery or an exhibit it goes in the database program. A copy of the invoice is sent over to MSWord, printed out and included in the shipment to the gallery with a space for signing and returning to me. I also admit that I don't have much of a mailing list. I used to have a good one when I was in a cooperative gallery for some years since we all needed one for our exhibits and announcements. Now, the galleries send out to their mailing lists and I've neglected to keep up with my old one. I do need to get one going again though for the times a gallery might want to add my list to theirs for special exhibits. I use MS Access.

I like it very much. It was ready to go when I bought it. I think it is quite user friendly. It helps if you already have digital photos (esp jpgs) of all art work. It took me about 3 months the get a good start on what I want on file. (spending a day or two a week and many evenings) Now of course it is an on-going job, but worth it. I think the data base programming is very good which is the main point of the whole thing. I would recommend it to anyone. I started using Working Artist about a year ago. I like it very much.
