I began work on Artistful.com my junior year of college. I was responsible for branding, web design and coding, posters, ads and much more. The startup dotcom business was a combination of a social network, similar to facebook and myspace, and an online art gallery. Artists were allowed to register for free and were given a social page, where friends and other artists could leave comments; a portfolio and gallery page where they could display and sell artwork; and a blog. While we recruited over 3,500 artists and over 8,000 pieces of artwork, we lacked the funding needed to advertise and attract customers. In February of 2010 I took the site down with aspirations to relaunch in the future.
