It is 2am and I have managed to get my grubby little paws on the newest creation from the hottest bass DJ, BassNectar. I have a fetish for deep bass like any insane electronic music lover. I was anxiously awaiting my fix when I popped this into my sound system. The rumor on his website […]

The finest piece of art I ever illustrated on concrete was when I was seven years old. I had just received my first enormous Crayola chalk set and I could not wait to test it out on the cracked sidewalks of Chicago suburbia in the sweltering summer heat. The depiction consisted of a happy sun, […]

by AJ West (June 22nd, 2007 | 9:32 am) - No Comments

Capturing the idiosyncratic movements of machinery such as pinball machines, video game systems and the after burn of explosives, New York artist Rosemarie Fiore intrigues with her experimental use of materials and technology.

Community Feedback

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 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.
