Every serious artist needs an Internet home page as an electronic portfolio.
Your home page will have an address that you can give to anyone, anywhere in the world, and that person can view your work on his computer monitor in full color. Say you're on the phone talking long distance to a prospective client, employer, editor. Just refer to your Internet address so that images of your work can do the selling. You will want to put your home page address on your business cards, stationery, and brochures. However you advertise, including your home page address will increase the number of people who view and appreciate your work.
