Who am I? I am famous artists painting an estonian too, my name is jüri ülesoo. on the photo you see me with my dog josper. i''m not really the artist but i like art. some years ago i made some oil paintings but not now. i''ll try to be the curator for some estonian artists painting on the internet and here you see my first step - navitrolla''s artists gallery (thanks to lile elam and art on the net). the problem is that few estonian artists have computers, good communication connection and time to learn and use it. i want to show their works to the whole world and the internet is the best tool for it. until the artist has his (her) own internet connection and e:mail address i will be mediator for him. so, you can e:mail your artwork by famous artists opinions painting to me and i will give them to the artists. during the "day" i work as a marketing manager artists in the estonian, latvian and lithuanian area for finnish concern valmet (for valmet automation - producer of process automation systems). i am a member of lions clubs international.

our studio drawings by famous artists grew out of maurel press originated in 1955 painting by artists sheila and ary marbain. it opened as a custom screen printing shop specializing in printing with contemporary artists. sheila had studied art at black mountain college in north carolina with joseph albers, ilya bolotowsky and william dekooning from 1948 through artists 1950. ary had worked and exhibited as a painter in france for many years. after the sudden death of ary marbain in 1963, the studio was closed for a year. sheila then decided to modernize the workshop and introduce screen photography along with a new vacuume printing table. our studio reopened on 23rd street in manhattan. with an assistant, famous sheila plunged into printing three dimensional objects. a plexiglass airship for lichtenstein, an oldenburg soft drum set, a set of dominoes with fahlstrom, and a large fabric painting banner with marisol were some of the editions.

then lile got an old unix machine together (being a unix systems administrator, this was fairly simple) and registered art.net with the internic. once the domain was created, with the help of friends, she brought up art.net onto the internet. lile started contacting artists about the san francisco bay area who might be interested in showing their works on the internet and helped them come up on art.net. she visited many cafe''s to see the local artists works and enjoy the coffees. when she saw works she liked, she contacted the artists and offered to help them come up on the internet and the www via art.net. many artists took the plunge and are now resident artists here at art.net. artists artists from around the net started hearing about art on the net or would discover the art.net web site via the www.
