Hi, we are artist and country agnostic now. We have artists from China, but also India and the rest of the world and have been ramping up USA artist signups recently. Of available artists (whether on our platform or elsewhere) Chinese ones are still the largest group of any country.

We display the country location of every artist profile on our site and heavily try to promote our US base.

The text on the website is misleadingly suggestive that all artists are in USA.

That's a special section featuring and highlighting USA artists, as you can order direct from artists on our site so you can pick and choose them. If you clicked through and selected them you would in fact be ordering from USA artists. It can be misleading if all you do is scan the home page, but we did not design it to be a bait-and-switch.

If you actually go through the purchase funnel it also gets re-iterated (you are prompted to choose where you want your artists from).
