Urban environments are crowded, cold and riddled with narrow sidewalks packed with humans squished together like sardines. Millions of people live and thrive in close quarters all around the world and actually prefer to inhabit in these metropolitan tin cans. There is no denying the endless opportunities large cities provide for business and pleasure on […]

If you ever have had the distinct pleasure of traveling out west, you will have noticed the sad state of lawn affairs for homeowners. Little vegetation can survive the sweltering heat of the western U.S. But now, there may be an alternative to dusty, red dirt and rocks. Urban Cactus is […]

Xia Xiaowan’s Absurd Realism
by AJ West (May 25th, 2007 | 9:39 am) - 3 Comments
Art is constantly shape shifting with the times. Artist Xia Xiaowan has changed the way we look at 2-D paintings. No longer coating canvas, but displayed on multiple panes of glass tightly erected together like dominoes. The painting then becomes a macabre glass case with absurd images of the human form. Tortured beings resembling corpses […]

Agelio Batle Sculpts the Poet Within
by AJ West (May 24th, 2007 | 8:40 am) - No Comments
Curiously scientific is the premise of Agelio Batle’s sculptures. His background completely immersed in biology has led his life-long inquisitive career to make everyday objects anything but ordinary. He received a BA in Biology from the University of California at Santa Barbara. Not wishing to pursue a career in science, he returned to his lifelong […]

Graphics are the New Black for Karen Richter
by AJ West (May 22nd, 2007 | 10:38 am) - No Comments
I frequently sport brightly colored graphic tees from Urban Outfitters. The fierce genius behind these designs is freelance graphic artist Karen Richter. Her richly colorful art designs invoke psychedelic doodles from the 1960’s. Her impressive client list goes beyond mainstream MTV. She had done work for record companies and magazines in mainstream circulation. Karen has […]

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

The TalentSpeaks and InSpirit database is an invaluable resource for talent, news and up-to-date information. A zeitgeist of the contemporary art and expressionistic industry, I would recommend this site to amateurs and professionals alike.

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!
