Richie Frieman is a children’s author, artist, and is currently working on his newest project PensEyeView.com. PEV is an online magazine featuring a new artist, innovator, or visionary every 48 hours. Richie approached TheStartupist for an interview, and I couldn’t say no. He is full of excellent information for those of you who are looking to turn your artistic creativity into a business venture, or just those who are looking to start an online publication.
You yourself are an artist. Describe how you decided to translate your passion for the arts into a website/business.
RF: As an artist, I’ve seen - and am part of - the process of getting your work out there. It’s so hard to get people to listen or view your work, since everyone is trying for the same thing. But artists are used to that kind of lifestyle and it’s just a part of the business. When I first started PensEyeView.com I was thinking of how can I offer so many talented artists a chance to have their work seen and support one another. That’s how it happened - bringing the music, art, and visionary communities together. The results have been great. I get so many features on PensEyeView.com from other artists saying, “Check out…” and it keeps on going from there.
