20. WHY DOES IT FEEL TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE/ AM I BEING SCAMMED?
Little Canvas started as an idea after hearing recurrent stories of home based artists either being scammed or being unable to market/sell their artwork online without a huge investment, to fill this gap between the artists and the art lovers we thought of this solution to facilitate the artists as best as we can in an effort to do something for the Pakistani artists and bring them together on one platform where they can set up their shops, all we ask in return is a good quality product and their trust in us.
