Web Site Gets 60,000 "Hits" Per Year
Google report

This Web site is becoming more and more popular – now getting about 60,000 "hits" – or page views – per year.

There has been a steady increase in the number of views of the Web site and the number of people who look at the site.

The Web site provides more up-to-date and comprehensive information for art seekers than the catalogues, because it can be updated more quickly and frequently.

The site is being viewed by people as far away from southwestern British Columbia as the Philippines and Singapore.

This raised profile is consistent with the fact that Tony Max art prints have been purchased for art collections in at least 16 countries to date and that the paintings have been purchased by collectors as in far-flung as Japan and Sweden.

Max's Name is Included in
Three 'Yellow Pages' Ads
Tony Max is proud that his name has been included in three more art galleries' advertisements in major, metropolitan phone books.

Max's name is mentioned in the annual, full-colour display ad for Park and Tilford Framing and Art, in the Art Galleries section of the 2007-2008 Greater Vancouver Can Pages phone book, which is similar to the Yellow Pages business phone directory.


The ad features the names of 11 of the most prominent artists that the gallery features. Other artists listed include Carl Brenders, Bev Doolittle, Trisha Romance and Robert Bateman - some of the globe's preeminent artists.

Max is one of only five living, practicing Canadian and British Columbian artists whose names are featured in the ad, one of only two artists from Greater Vancouver listed, and the only artist representing Vancouver's North Shore and North Vancouver.

His name is also listed in the Park and Tilford Framing and Art display ad in the 2008-2009 Yellow Pages book in the Art Galleries section.

His name is listed – and one of his images was used in full colour – by Osterson's Framing and Art, in its display ad in the same directory, but in the Picture Framing section.

As the ads feature the names of the galleries' most prominent artists, inclusion in this elite coterie of artists attests to Tony Max's expanding stature as one of Canada's distinguished visual artists.
