       | Great site, thanks for sharing it.

       | I love botanical illustrations so searched for that. Instead of
       | showing me the search results page, it took me to this image:

       | It should have taken me here: https://artvee.com/c/botanical/

       | This is third time I've seen artvee posted on here. I'm happy to
       | see it again! I freaking love the user experience of this
       | website, it's so simple yet so intuitive. The other websites I
       | went to have horrible search features or display the images in
       | really tiny thumbnails.

         | canvaspop, I would guess they get a cut of each order.

       | A little tangential question - but is there a time at which art
       | becomes public domain? 50 years after its creation? Longer?

       | This is really cool. Does anyone have any suggestions for a
       | reputable printing company for creating prints of these? I see
       | the site links to Canvaspop but I'd be hoping to find someone
       | that could do giclee prints or similar, rather than only canvas.

         | I had been considering to use them, but forgot about it. They
