Supporting artists from everywhere with Gawker Artists

You may notice that there is now a Gawker Artists banner on the side bar to the right (scroll down a bit if you can't see it). The Lit Department is now an exhibitor for Gawker Artists, which is tres chic. This is how Gawker Artists describes what they do:

Gawker Artists promotes the works of artists of all mediums. Participating artists receive free profile pages and a select group have their images published on Gawker Media titles. When you spot one of these images, click on it to read about the artist or browse our collection by artist name, medium or location.

So, if you see a piece of art you like displayed on the Gawker Artist banner, click on it! Support a young, starving, attractive, heart-broken, and possibly depressed artist out there somewhere on the interwebs. All proceeds go to the artists.

P.S. Look, we are on gawker.com, sort of.
