I think this is a great idea, however the problem therein is that since its a gallery-type website instead of a buying/auction website, there's no way to check if anyone bought anything, and every artist has a few folks who just have it in for them, so it would be unfair to hard working honest artists who may have one creepy angry stalker who made a bunch of alt accounts to give them a bad rating.
Alternately, the artist could 'approve' people to rate them based on whose bought stuff from them, but then they could withhold that ability from 'trouble' customers(Read; Unhappy customers).
Its a great idea don't get me wrong, its just too easily abused. And way more work for the few mods they do have.
