Selfportrait.net is an online social network of artists and their peers, as well as a database for galleries, curators, collectors and other arts institutions. Registration is free, and artwork can be bought and sold securely via paypal. Your performance on selfportrait.net is tracked by an algorithmic ranking system, a function of profile hits, art hits, and art sales. The most popular artists are featured in the site-wide and medium-specific top ten lists, where they are given more exposure to the site's users, guests, and ultimately the art world at large.
