Unique Branding Campaigns Offer International Exposure for Artists

bong_spirit_in_russia.jpg

Opportunities for artists to gain international exposure are wide and diverse these days. As the brand designer of BONG SPIRIT VODKA, I created the Spirit of the Brand program to offer exposure opportunities to buzz worthy creatives. While the VODKA has only been released in select U.S. markets, several international publications have picked up on the uniqueness and benefits of the art program. In fact, Package Design Magazine recently applauded the creative branding strategy behind Bong Vodka and praised the value it offers not only to the artists in the program, but to the vodka connoisseur as well. Incredible art, superior vodka, exposure for up and coming artists…it’s a win, win, win. For artists and musicians interested in contributing their talents to the next round of Bong Spirit art bottles, designer t-shirts, or music compilations…please send a sample of your work to Jimi Beach at beach@bongspirit.com.

Keep your eyes open artists…there’s opportunity out there like never before.

  20. michele says:

    i feel i should create a piece while under the influence of vodka.

  21. michele says:

    ps….you can check out my art at www.myspace.com/michelejonesart

  22. Mike Corriero says:

    Kind of interesting, obviously it appeals more to graphic artist or at least cell shaded type work but it’s a cool opportunity to get your work seen on a brand name product like Vodka.

    Other than the exposure does the artist whose work is chosen for packaging design get some free bottles of the vodka with their art on it?

    Mike -

  23. Mike Corriero says:

    I’d like to design something for this if I knew it were possible to get it printed on the bottle and maybe get a bottle or two for free ;)

    you can check my website link by clicking my name or here: www.mikecorriero.com

  35. Cheryl Derocher says:

    What an awesome opportunity.

  36. Teresa says:

    Not a big drinker here…….but I can appreciate the visual of an attractive bottle. I’ve been known to browse the liquor section like it’s an art gallery……..wishing I were an alcoholic so I could buy a few……lol……ok the last part of that statement isn’t true. I participate in a yearly fundraiser where we are given a plain, plastic, pink flamingo and must get creative with it. I always paint mine……usually with a tattoo theme (former tattoo artist here). I also paint “happy fish”……they would look spectacular swimming around on your bottles. Here’s a link to some of my work…….

  37. Sarah says:

    Hey… i love Vodka and i love art! I think this is a great opportunity for artists everywhere.

    If the link on my site doesnt work, check out my myspace pictures. it has practically all my works on there. still adding more, however.

  38. Anthony Hannifin says:

    Bad ass idea! I do alot of black and grey portrait drawings with little hints of color. You can see a few of my pics at (www.myspace.com/xesevird). Thanks for coming up with this kind of opportunity. You guys rock!

  39. Carl Oblivious says:

    Your website (www.spiritofthebrand.com) isn’t coming up for me, for some reason. Mine is www.myspace.com/CarlOblivious

  40. FaultyD says:

    Hey this is dope man, I’m really liking this idea!!!
    Here are some of my OLD pieces I don’t have my newer stuff uploaded but check if you like www.myspace.com/faultyd0_0

  41. nikki says:

    hey i would love to take part, can i have a bit more info about what you are looking for plz, eg: is it just designs to on the bottles or new bottle shapes ect? nikki

  42. Jess says:

    Vodka…shaped like a bong…and with artwork decorating the bottle?! And I thought my hobbies could never be combined ;) This sounds great, I’d probably buy it for the bottle alone, but I’m sure the vodka is tasty, too. I would love to be a part of this! You can see a little of my work on my myspace page:

    http://www.myspace.com/BettyBombastic

  43. denyde says:

    dope for sure, i always hoped some one would find a way to combine bingers and vodka in a creative way, cause filing your bong with vodka doesnt pan out all that well.

  44. FReeK™ says:

    super–a few of my grafix are on my page right on

  48. TomMorrows says:

    Cool! Ice cool. Yea, I like this idea. Just yesterday I was feeling that art is becoming a more important thing considering that so many people are involved in the computer business, which would be boring after awhile, unless of course, you get some real fine art happening in the entertaining business…such as paintings of ‘artistic’ proportion, music of ‘interesting’ proportions etcetera etc.

  49. D'Jinn says:

    Very interesting, I see most of the participants are visual artists. I would like to contribute some audio. Feel free to check out my latest release @ www.myspace.com/galaxytraxx

    This sounds perfect for me since I’m a bartender and artist. I have seen this product yet . Would I be able to get it through Southern wine & spirits? You can check my website out although I would definitely come up with something new for this.

  53. Tiffany Pollard says:

    Definitely check out the aliens & bears section. There is an underlying alcohol theme there.

The Internet is quickly paving the way for artistic revolution, giving new arms for artists to reach art enthusiasts, collectors and appreciators across the globe. I am reminded of the words of musician and activist Jello Biafra when he suggested that we âbecome the mediaâ. Artists of all stripes now have the opportunity to do exactly this with the availability of platforms such as TalentDatabase.com. The art revolution for the Internet age is just beginning, and accessibility is no longer in the hands of an elite few. This is a visionary approach that will create unparalleled exposure for artists and a more eclectic and authentic palette for viewers and lovers of art. This is not just social networking. This is activism for art. I look forward to more!

This is really such a great website for striving talent. I have seen some amazing work here and the information provided, such as news, and tutorials are really cutting edge. We have had such wonderful feedback on TD. This is an awesome networking site and there is no other site that can comare.

The exponential growth of TalentSpeaks has bee a beautiful success and a mature alternative to other popular forums like Myspace and Facebook. Talent Speaks is hands-down, a great source for any search within culture and the arts.

Really enjoy the art news content on this site. Keep it coming.

This is my fourth day on this site and I am beginning to see artists from other sites showing up here. My sense is the online method of networking one\'s skill, search and marketing ability is just getting heated up. I certainly feel this site is moving in a proper direction with it\'s ease of operation, and apparent intention to actually aide the artist in reaching, \"End Users\", as in collector\'s, buyers, gallery owners, and those with disposable income. My hat is off to Talendatabase.com
