While there’s a strong feminine thread that weaves through her website and much of her personal artwork, Linda Zacks says her primary focus is “getting juicy and exciting work that’s challenging.” It’s a goal that’s made significantly easier by her eye-catching online portfolio. The site’s opening page invites visitors in with a bikini-clad woman who grabs attention with blinking stars over her nipples. Step inside and you’ll be wowed by a shocking pink palette paired with her provocative and edgy creations.

A former design director at VH1.com, Zacks originally put the site up to showcase her fine art and illustration. Now it’s evolved to serve as a vital marketing tool for her full-time freelance business. “I’m all about getting work that fits me,” Zacks says. “This site definitely reflects the kind of work I want. It’s honest, and it’s me.”

So far, it’s an approach that’s served her well. She’s gotten interest from such far-flung locales as Bulgaria, India, and Iceland. The website has also garnered invitations to participate in shows all over the world, including an Australian female art show called Curvy.
