Uploading to Solid Stock Art

We've worked hard to make this easy! First, you'll need to be registered as a Solid Stock Artist... A complete registration, not just a username and password. We need your driver's license or photo ID, and tax info. Once your registration is complete, you'll be able to access the upload page! Uploading is a two step process. In the first step, you will upload your file, in the second step, you will add necessary attachments (such as model releases and references) or notes. Finally, you will complete the process by submitting to the examiner. Start by following the instructions below. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

1.

Go to the Upload page. Here, you'll find three boxes and instructions.

2.

Roll over a box with your mouse, select the type of art you'll be uploading.

We've designed this page for bulk speed uploading. Stay on the upload page, and upload as much stock art as you'd like. Later you can decide to add notes, releases, cancel, etc.

3.

Depending the type of stock art you're uploading, you will need to make sure all files are the correct format, and size.

You can now go on to "Step 2" of the upload process and add model releases, references, or notes, and finish by submitting to the examiners. Or, stay on this page and keep uploading.
