So...the project I have been obsessing over for the past few weeks...Quirklust!
I have been devotedly working away on developing a new website that I think will be a lot of fun when it's live. I had already started Quirklust as a creative outlet through which I've been selling things like my art shoes, IPhone cases, etc. However, I was overwhelmed with the need to pursue this new idea of developing an Artists' collaborative. A place where artists can come together to share work, give one another feedback, and most importantly, promote one another.
The way I see it, it's really one of our best options in this shit economy, right? I mean, if we can develop an entire 'artpool' (as I have affectionately dubbed it), of creative minds who do amazing work, then we have the potential to create an extensive database of artistic resources. For one another and for the public.
What's more, we can share networks with one another, creating important ties and connections between all of us.
Of course, I'm juggling a million things at once and haven't quite ironed out all of the kinks in my thinking on this, but I'm real excited. The website is fun, cool, easy to use. I'm working on developing a shoppe where artists can sell their work--artists who join get their own art page to showcase examples of their work and provide contact information...good stuff! I'll be sure to post when everything goes live, but in the meantime, here are some screen shots of my development in progress. Always love your feedback. Lust on!
I'm real excited 2! ":]
ReplyDeleteCrit, this is a fantastic idea!!! So impressed! Now, artists can come together in one place, help each other, but at the same time, hopefully sell their work!!! Wonderful!! What kind of marketing are you planning in order to get people to come buy??
