Warming up the gallery.
I built TinyGallery for artists who make small, original work—and for collectors who actually care about finding it.
This isn’t about competing with eBay’s scale, or becoming the next Etsy. In fact, I want to avoid that. It’s about building something that actually works for this niche.
No mass production. No resale noise. Just original ACEOs, lower fees, and discovery that stays honest.
What I’m building
A marketplace where selling $10 artwork actually makes sense
Etsy and eBay weren’t built for $5–$20 artwork. Their fees assume higher-priced items, and their systems tend to reward volume over originality.
I built TinyGallery specifically for ACEOs—with lower platform fees, a credit system that reduces processing costs, and curation that keeps mass production out.
I’d rather keep this small and good than big and diluted. That’s the whole point.
My priority
Make it viable to sell small original art
If artists can’t make money, none of this works. Every decision I make starts there.
The rules that keep this marketplace focused and fair.
If it’s mass-produced, it doesn’t belong here. ACEOs are original art—one piece, one artist. I rely on the community to report listings that don’t fit, and I take those reports seriously.
Other platforms can take up to 15–60% from hidden fees, which kills margins on $5–$20 pieces. I’ve structured TinyGallery to keep fees lower and use credits to reduce processing costs. Small art shouldn’t cost more to sell than it earns. You shouldn't be paying your collectors to buy your artwork. No, that's not a typo - if a listing is sold at $0.99 on other platforms, after shipping and material fees, the artist is paying you to buy their artwork.
TinyGallery exists to support independent artists and small art brands—full stop. Every decision I make is with that in mind, from fees to features to who gets visibility. If something benefits the platform but hurts artists, I won’t do it.
List your work, ship when it sells, get paid weekly. No algorithm games, no pressure to be constantly posting—just straightforward tools that work.
I’m building TinyGallery independently—no investors, no pressure to optimize for short-term growth. That means I can prioritize what actually works for artists and collectors.
I’m not trying to build the biggest marketplace. I’m trying to build the best place to sell miniature art.
That means staying curated, keeping fees low, and keeping discovery credible. Pro boosts exist, but they don’t rewrite search—and they’re always clearly labeled.
Etsy has millions of sellers. I’d rather have a smaller number of really good ones.
Right now, I’m focused on ACEOs. They’re one of the hardest formats to sell profitably—so if this works, it proves the model.
I may expand into other small original formats over time (trading cards, miniatures, etc.), but only if I can maintain the same standards.
Growth is good—but not at the cost of quality.
Bottom line
TinyGallery is for ACEO artists who want lower fees and real collectors who want to skip the noise.
If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who I built this for.
