mysql_query will only execute one query at a time, aside from sub selects. You need to call each query using mysql_query. I would suggest using an array:

PHP Code:

---

$queries = Array("INSERT INTO tblartist (ArtistName) VALUES ('$artist')",
                 "INSERT INTO tblcollection (barcode) VALUES ('$barcode')");

foreach($queries as $query) {
    $result = mysql_query($query);

    if (!$result) {
        echo(mysql_error()); // also, use error checking to filter out bad queries
    }
}
