With 159,063 members of the Penn State Alumni Association across the country, at least one of them is sure to miss the campus' landmarks.

Without having to travel all the way to Happy Valley, many of them can now purchase pictures of those landmarks to display in their own homes.

Adam Freedgood, Class of 2005, has launched imaginenittany.com, a Web site selling Penn State artwork created by students and alumni.

"It's an online marketplace for everything Penn State," Freedgood said.

Freedgood said he began working on his Web site during his senior year.

"The thought of missing Penn State after graduation sparked the idea," he said. "This is a cool way to allow people to stay in touch with PSU after graduation."

Freedgood said licensing issues held up the Web site's launch for about a year.

"It took one year to get licensed by the university," Freedgood said. "Anything with a PSU logo or picture on it must be licensed."

Jenny Sandhagen, a coordinator at the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), said Freedgood had to go through a trademark and licensing team within the CLC. "Adam had to go through a pretty lengthy process," she said.

Even after the Web site was cleared, Freedgood said he still had to deal with licensing issues on a daily basis.

"Each time I get an artwork submission, it must be approved by Penn State," Freedgood said. "Luckily, the Penn State licensing team has been fantastic."

Sandhagen agreed. "Adam has to consistently keep lines of communication open with the Collegiate Licensing Company, and most importantly, with the university itself," Sandhagen said.

Freedgood said he is at the beginning stages of acquiring artwork to sell right now.

"Imaginenittany.com is a great marketplace for people to have an outlet for their creativity," Freedgood said.

He said he is trying to expand and to get more artists to sell their work on his Web site. "Right now, I'm using word of mouth to get the word out," Freedgood said. "Hopefully, artists will approach me."

The art that Freedgood sells from his Web site is all reproduced as canvas gallery art.

"It's a really different, high-quality print printed on canvas," Freedgood said.

Brian Egee, one of the artists whose pieces are for sale on imaginenittany.com, said Freedgood approached him eight months ago about using his work.

"Adam saw the work I did online," Egee said. "He asked if he could sell my art."

Egee said he mostly does pencil sketches and paintings, and right now, there are three of his pieces for sale on the Web site.

"Adam is a great businessman," Egee said. "I'm more than happy to create pieces to sell on his Web site."
