I need a name for my website!!
October 10, 2010 12:02 PM
What would be a catchy domain name for a website that shows off and sells my artwork?
I do pencil drawings (mostly black and white but sepia and color as well). I am trying to promote my artwork and hopefully make a little cash in the process. I need a catchy domain name but all the ones I come up with are either lame or boring. My name is Paige, but it doesn't necesarily need to be a part of the domain name. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

It might be helpful if the name could reflect something essential about your work: Subjects? Style? Themes? Influences?

Can you show us a few pieces you're particularly proud of? We're going on less than you are right now.

This is a really dumb idea, but when I need to think of phrases like that (whether it's domain names, usernames, whatever) I like to use this neat little phrase generator. Choose an uncommon adjective followed by a somewhat uncommon noun, and the results are sure to delight. Some of the things I got:
Impassable Sureness
Unshared Playbill
Hunky Cleanup
Unabsorbed Shogun
Discerning Briquet
Irruptive Burg
Splittable Hairdressing
Sure, they're nonsense, and they have nothing to do with art. But I think they're absolutely charming, and it's what I would do. Then again, I'm slightly nuts (in a really charming way!) I mean, a place named "Unabsorbed Shogun" would certainly stick out!

Could you link some of your artwork to inspire the Brain, please.

Honestly, I think firstnamelastname.com is always the best for an artist's website.
