An app that allows artists a medium to show off their work, get admiration, accrue followers, and find orther art and artists to follow.

The target audience for this application is artists or art enthusiasts that want to share or find artists to follow.

From logging in a new user should be recommended posts and be able to search through a multitude of works of art to find those they wish to follow or they can create their own menagerie of art to show off to people as well.

Coming from a art background it really was important for me to have a place to show my work and for other artists i know to have that same capability. But i also wanted an application that made it easier to search for what you want to see and keep tabs on your favorite artists.
