For Serious Artists: Get The Attention Your Art Deserves

Have you ever wished you could work with a website host that seriously promoted your art?

That’s exactly our new FASO Diamond plan.

We’ll promote your art to thousands and thousands of art lovers
via email and social media over the course of 2026.

This is essentially the same promotion we do with our signature artists and worth over $7,000, but will cost only $3,000/year.

But, to celebrate our upcoming 25th anniversary, we only have TWO (2) introductory slots left at 40% off for only $1,800 (includes both the website and the promotion).

We can’t accept everyone so, if your art is ready for prime-time, and you’re serious about your art career, then click here to apply for one of the remaining 15 spots.

Progress or Regress? The High Cost of Making Things Cheap

Recently, YouTube served me a video by Julia McCoy titled “AI Just Killed Video Production,” introducing Dzine AI — a new “revolutionary” tool that has, as she claims, collapsed the entire video production industry into a 60-second workflow.

It promises to replace the costly process of traditional video production — hiring a voice actor, an animator, and a video editor — with a $25-per-month subscription.
Surprisingly, the show’s host isn’t Julia herself but her AI clone, generated with Dzine AI. The real Julia appears only at the end.

You can take any image, any character, any style, and make it speak your exact words with perfect lip sync. Bottom line? Cut your costs. Cut your time. Maximize your profit.
