It’s a beautiful thing when professional relationships become personal friendships. James Mason is a talented musician, gifted artist, dedicated father, and a wonderful friend.

On our #Troupe2Cali, we made a stop in Pittsburgh where we got to catch up with some good friends. One of them being James Mason of Sweet Earth! We had previously met the band at Garefest 2019. James was kind enough to host us for an evening and surprised us with TWO personalized canvas pieces!!

Artist James Mason created these pieces using acrylic paints, and oil based paint markers. The two pieces feature complimentary contrasting colors. These colors are highlighted by a white outline that creates fragmented asymmetrical shapes lively dancing together in harmony. The coarse texture of the canvas & paint bring an added layer of depth. These pieces are sure to be stimulating and thought provoking to whomever it catches their eye.

Both pieces were created on July 2020 for ZIG ZAG and Cheeba of Troupe Inc. James was even kind enough to write us each our own personal message. We are extremely grateful, and feel truly blessed to have friends like these.

If you’re interested in more art from James Mason, you’re in luck! The artist has pieces for sale at the Troupe Inc. Art store. He is also a member of the kick ass band: Sweet Earth! You can find videos of them jamming out on our music page. Huge thanks once again, from your forever fam: Troupe Inc.

Troupe Inc. is extremely excited to announce that we are looking to expand our Residency Artists on Troupe Inc. Art! What separates us from the competition is that fact that our business model is run primarily on love and support. Our main goal is to find artists of all sorts and styles, to provide them with a solid platform to showcase and sell their art. We currently have the immense pleasure of hosting Steve Pearce Artworx, DarkRoot Handcrafting, and James Mason of Sweet Earth! We would like to extend our hand to 2-4 new artists to add to the Troupe Inc. family. ALL. ART. FORMS. ACCEPTED.* We would love to discuss how we can help you further your career! If you’re not ready to sell your own art, or you would like to get involved with Troupe Inc. art on the ground, please feel free to contact us as well! Below is all of the info you’ll need to answer any questions you may have! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us on social media!
*Please keep in mind, while we do accept ALL art forms, there are 2 guidelines:

1. Troupe Inc. will not accept any art that contains illegal/immoral nature; and will be forwarded to the authorities if deemed so (pedophilia, racism, etc)
2. Although we are helping you sell your art, our mail goal is to showcase you and help you get exposure. This means a large usage of social media, all of which have their own community guidelines. While you can sell art containing nudity or drug usage on our site, Troupe Inc. will not be able to post those items at the risk of discipline to our own accounts.

*Please Read Thoroughly*

Troupe Inc. is proud to provide our platform to artists on a commission-based payment system. We confidently employ this business structure for 2 reasons:

1. This structure shows our clients that we are willing to actually put the work in for them. Monthly/Hosting fees only hurt the artists, and gives us no incentive as a business to sell your art. That business model would promote greed over growth. We would make more money this way, but that isn’t our goal.
2. Commission based structures allow artists the opportunity to showcase their art right away, without having to worry about their art being removed from the site, etc. due to non payment. Our model allows you to showcase your art on your timeframe, and you pay nothing until a customers purchase is finalized.

Our payment structure works as follows:
​

1. Completely free art hosting until your art sells in our art store on TroupeInc.com.
2. When a customer purchases your art in our store, our Troupe Inc. Payment Portal processes the payment.*
3. After the payment processes, Troupe Inc. will contact you with both an e-signed invoice and customer shipping information.**
4. After you receive sale confirmation, you must ship the sold item to the customer.***
5. Once the funds are delivered to our account, Troupe Inc. will assess our agreed commission percentage and deduct from your payout (we will inform you of the amount due when transaction finalizes).
6. After the payment process and the commission deduction is verified by you, we send you the funds via PayPal with an invoice!

*Payment processing portals charge us per transaction, Troupe Inc. covers that fee for the artist
**You may keep customer shipping info for business records but they may not be shared/sold for any reason, ever
***Troupe Inc. is not responsible for shipping in any capacity. Troupe Inc. is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. It is the responsibility of the artist to ensure the safe delivery of all products sold on TroupeInc.com.

Here are some of the perks of selling your art thru Troupe Inc. Art:

**Custom Business Cards can be created, ordered, and sent to you by Troupe Inc. for a $25 charge per order of business cards (250 in an order).

After announcing its first subdivision, Troupe Inc Collectibles, Troupe Inc was ready to move on to the next project. After a few connections being made, Troupe Inc Art was born. 


The idea had originated from attending previous music festivals, such as Happy Hippie Muzik Fest and Garefest 2019. We got a first hand experience with the art vendors themselves as well as their beautiful creations. After leaving the festivals, we noticed that a lot of their art wasn’t easily found outside of the festivals. That’s why, Troupe Inc. saw this as the perfect opportunity for a new subsection of our company. 


Through Troupe Inc Art, you will be able to find unique, one of a kind creations, of multiple mediums. The art showcased will be made by up and coming artists, such as Steve Pearce, Darkroot Handcrafting, and more! We can’t wait to show you what we have in store, stay tuned!!
