Are you an artist with a gallery here?

These erotic art galleries have been online for over a decade.  Some artists have had galleries here for many years.  Some of our original artists are no longer posted.  This page was created to help keep us current with our exhibiting artists.

Keep your gallery current!  Many of you have changed e-mail addresses, web addresses, even nationalities.  Lots of you have created many new works, expanded into other media, and evolved into new styles.  Let us know!  Send your updated information and images of your new works (800 x 600 pixels or larger, please) to us ().

Help us help you!  Let people know your work is exhibited here.  You can even profit from directing traffic to us.  If you join our FireCa$h Affiliate Program, and include our affiliate code in your links, you will receive 50% of the subscription fees if any of your visitors join.

Notice anything different?  Our layout was improved in early 2009.  More categories, larger pages, larger thumbnails, easier navigation.

Don't be afraid to post your e-mail address!  We're using a new method to protect you from spammers who use e-mail harvesters to put published e-mail addresses on junk mail lists.  E-mail links in our art galleries are now generated by coded scripts that are not readable by automated harvesters, and they're not image files, either (which can be read by optical readers).  This doesn't guarantee nobody will manually copy your address for unsolicited mail, but probably eliminates 95% of junk mail while allowing your admirers and possible customers to contact you.

Can't find your gallery?  We expanded from having six art categories to eleven.  Nearly half of our galleries were recategorized.  If you can't find your gallery using the old web address, please check the alphabetical artist list for your name, click on it, and record your new web address shown in the blank at the top of your browser window.

Still can't find your gallery?  We eliminated about a dozen of our original art galleries because of one or more of the following reasons:  (a) not enough works on display, (b) not enough sexual or nude subject matter, (c) the images were too small, (d) or the artist's collection was a small sampling of various genres that couldn't be categorized.  If your former gallery is missing and you have a well-developed collection of work to send to us, write us again.

I've submitted a gallery, and I haven't heard back from anyone.  If that's the case, please accept our apologies.  We receive applications from hundreds of artists every year.  We try to respond to as many as possible, and we try to exhibit as many as possible, but we are limited in time and budget.  FireGirls.com has been operated entirely by one man (Alex) for most of its history, and his main job is to maintain the Members Area.
     However, Mina Stambecco now works for Alex full-time, and can help us respond to more of you.  We've maintained about 100 to 120 galleries for our first decade, but would love to see our art galleries benefit a thousand artists if possible.  If you send us your art and application, please do not expect an immediate reply.  Historically, it has taken us months for new submissions to go through our queue and become exhibits.  With Mina's help, hopefully that can shorten to weeks or days.  Our Art Galleries are free publicity, and good publicity, and we hope you appreciate that, as we appreciate your art.

I've sold the rights to my artwork, so please remove it from your site.  When you submit your artwork to FireGirls.com, the form states that you grant us nonexclusive internet publishing rights.  That means we can exhibit them, but you're still free to license or sell them to others.  You are not authorizing us to sell your work, or to sell rights to it.  You are just giving us permission to make your work visible here.  That permission is irrevocable (permanent).
     If you are selling exclusive rights to your artwork to another entity, you need to explain to them that the work is visible elsewhere on the internet, and nonexclusive rights to low-quality versions of them were granted to FireGirls.com.  This should not be a problem, because the images we exhibit here are NOT reproduction size or quality.
     For a piece of art ot be reproduced on a color printing press with art-quality detail (150 line screen frequency), a minimum resolution of 2.2 megapixels (1200 x 1800 pixels) would be required to generate a small, postcard sized (4" x 6") image.  Even an exhibition-quality image for internet usage demands a resolution of at least 1 megapixel (1200 x 800 pixels).  The images posted here in our free erotic art galleries are:

• posted for information and educational purposes, and NOT profit, and therefore are neither commercial nor competitive in nature;
• are typically HALF a megapixel or smaller, and with visible JPEG artifacting, making them neither an exhibition size nor reproduction quality;
• are not being resold or redistributed by us; they may be, however, reused elsewhere within FireGirls.com for illustration or discussion purposes, or to promote these free art galleries.

The only compelling reasons we have found to remove an artist's galleries have been (a) discovery that the exhibitor was a fraud (not in fact the creator or rightful owner of the submitted images, and therefore was unauthorized to submit them); (b) the exhibitor was in physical danger because of the art (in one case a woman in a middle-east country faced imprisonment and torture for creating erotic art and exhibiting it here, so to spare her, we removed her gallery).
