What is ExpressoBeans?
- Expresso Beans is a free, not-for-profit art collector's community resource built and maintained by volunteers. We provide a wealth of information about graphic art including dimensions, editions, medium and technique, ebay auction tracking, past and current sales histories, price averages and much more. Free membership includes personal collection tracking, buying, selling and trading art, the exclusive EB matchmaker, forums and live chat, email notifications and more!
Why "ExpressoBeans"? Do you like coffee?
- "I LOVE COFFEE! I have a latte every morning followed by coffee at work. I use ILLY coffee which most coffee lovers have had but never realized it at the coffee shops. But that has little to do with the name. I am a software engineer and I started a company to work with Sun Microsystems Java platform. At the time Enterprise Beans and Java Beans were big buzwords, so I thought of the name express beans (fast beans) which i quickly changed to ExpressoBeans. Also it is simular to "Java." Some have asked me why not EspressoBeans, well my previous explaination holds, but note that Expresso is a legal spelling for Espresso, see dictionary.com." - Thomas Davis, ExpressoBeans founder
Free? What's the catch?
- There is no catch whatsoever! Membership in EB is and will always be free of charge. In fact, many artists have given their permission to use their images with this proviso.
I have a piece of art that isn't listed in the EB Art Guide. Can I add it to EB?
- Yes, art submittal is encouraged! Please refer to the EB User Guide for more information.
I just had a print framed - can I add a picture of it to the piece's EB Art Guide entry?
- Yes, Members are encouraged to submit pictures of their art! Please refer to the EB User Guide for more information.
I submitted art to the EB Art Guide. How long will it take to get it approved?
- The time is generally no more than a few days. A volunteer will need to 1) verify the piece isn't already in the EB database 2) make sure all the data is entered correctly 3) crop, rotate and resize the image if it isn't done by the submitter. Pieces that take excessive time to review because of incorrect or incomplete information, or pieces submitted with images that require rotating, cropping, or resizing will be often passed over in the review queue in favor of "cleaner" submittals, so please help the volunteers and speed approval time with careful data entry - thanks!
