Pinterest is a fantastic site to store and organise reference material, and influences that you find over the internet from known or just discovered artists. I find that I use Pinterest quite often as it is a fantastic way for me to easily and quickly, find visual influences that I have categorised into different boards. For example any reference material such as tutorials or anatomy sketches would be 'pinned' into the Reference board that I have made on my account. Not only can you store or 'pin' work that people have added to their own boards on the site but as you search the internet you can easily add more imagery through the Pinterest Button on the browser that you use, making it easier to find rather than searching through all the bookmarks you have made from different inspirations you have found.
Pinterest could be a good way to promote yourself through adding your work, which automatically adds a link to the website that you have taken it from, in this case your own website/work. For instance with the Qwertee site, where artists are able to upload their work for possible print to t-shirt, people can find these links through searching for the word Qwertee; when people who use pinterest 'pin' this to their board, their followers will see this as well. I believe that this site would be helpful with posting your own development work or even screenshots of work that would link to your finished outcome.
