New Service
Artist Websites
We have a new service here, at Giclee of New England, Inc. We are offering websites for artists. We believe that without an online presence, it is difficult for an artist to reach his or her full market. For one low price GoNE, Inc. will build a site that is completely accessible to the owner. (price includes training on how to use the site, upload images and content). For an additional fee we will create a Fan Page for Facebook connected to your site.

Banksy, a popular street artist has put his name back into the news with the creation of a new opening for the Simpsons. Banksy illegally posts his art work all over the world and has yet to get caught which adds to his charm. The Simpsons opening features scenes of a sweat shop scattered with bones, laborers, kitties being mulched into the stuffing of Simpson dolls, a severed animal head used to close boxes, a panda being whipped and hauling dolls, a sickly looking unicorn, and more. You can view a clip of the opening by clicking on the link below.
