Meeting Up with Yonil and Artist Self-Promotion

By: Filip

I got an email from Yonil few days ago telling me that he is in London at the moment on a short trip with his girlfriend. I thought it would be a fantastic idea to meet up and finally meet him in person. He came around to the office (WAG) on Wednesday and we went to the local pub to have a pint or two. We talked about many things, mainly T-Shirt production, recent changes to the site and general improvements and also the artist "self-promotion".

We talked about the different places where artists can market their work and I promised to send a number of websites where artists do a lot of self-promotion and where i thought all artists should pretty much be. Most of these site have very large audiences and its definitely worth creating your own profiles.

Some of these may be the obvious for some of us but i think its good to list them for all anyway.
Here they are:
