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.
