Hey guys, I’m here to announce some­thing nifty. I’m work­ing on a site called Artists&Clients, which is a platform/marketplace for artists who seek to be hired for a com­mis­sion and people who need an artist to do a com­mis­sion. Basic­ally, the idea came out of the com­mon way of pro­cessing com­mis­sions and look­ing for artists being ter­rible; I went and thought of a way to make it con­veni­ent for both sides.

I researched before I star­ted plan­ning it out, I talked to a bunch of dif­fer­ent people. I already had people ask­ing me whether this is “like Behance Net­work”, and I already proved that no, it isn’t. In fact, it’s not a per­sonal shop or port­fo­lio. It’s a dir­ect­ory of ser­vices. As an artist, set­ting up slots (custom-priced, dif­fer­ent types of work you offer) is a breeze; as a cli­ent, brows­ing and request­ing is easy; and for both, pay­ing and get­ting payed is very straight-forward.

The plat­form is in heavy devel­op­ment. Mean­while, a teaser page is up — where you can sign up to be noti­fied when the site launches. I strongly sug­gest and ask you to sign up, as while I have proved through my numer­ous pre­vi­ous webapps that your e-mail address is safe with me, each sub­scribe gives me the motiv­a­tion in from of a warm and fuzzy feel­ing inside.

Remem­ber: http://artistsncli­ents.com is the address (Go there)

I will answer all your ques­tions here or via e-mail at hello@artistsnclients.com. I hope that you as my audi­ence trust me on mak­ing great things on the Inter­net, and since this one is very depend­ent on people, I would greatly appre­ci­ate any atten­tion, feed­back, kind words and love
