For the founders: When you click on a piece of work on /browse/ it takes you directly into the "gallery view" for that piece, rather than to the artist's profile page. This is a bit jarring. I would consider taking users to the artist's pro

The act of re-issuing the shares would have the opposite effect on supply, causing the price to go back down. You can't create profits by retiring and then reissuing shares.
