OrangePiel Account Types Overview Use Royalties to Fuel Your Creative Habit
OrangePiel's Artist Collaborative is a place where artists can create and manage an online portfolio, and be paid commissions on all OrangePiel product sales utilizing their artwork. We want to help provide the dollars necessary to fuel your "Creative Habit."
OrangePiel is born from fine artists, and we want to provide a forum for artists to develop their own artistic identity and, most importantly, get their art into the public web-o-sphere.
Creating an Account:
The first step to showcasing your work and creating custom printed decor - create an account. You can access your account from top bar.
Your account allows you to upload and manage your private images. Create decor from a unique family photograph, design a window shade for your child's room, reinvigorate your apartment with a fine art and seamless wallpaper.
Life is better spent in an environment that YOU have created.

Just look for the "Your Cart" icon in the top right, it will even tell you how many items you have in your account with a quick peek.
Becoming an Artist
OrangePiel is only as good as its artists - and we are getting a lot better.
Artists can easily determine what pieces of work are for private use and which pieces are entered into the public gallery. Upon application to become an artist, OrangePiel must verify your account before becoming active.
