A View to a Doll
by AJ West (November 30th, 2007 | 11:01 am) - No Comments
My grandmother collected antique dolls. The worn, turn of the century dolls with eyelids that batted at you at the slightest movement. There was always something eerie and strange about those dolls. Their glassy dead eye look sent shivers up my spine, yet they still held my fascination in their tiny hands. The craftsmanship of […]

Obsessed with the fear that we rely less and less on printed information, Cara attempts to not only preserve the memory and art of the book but also to blur the line between objects, sculpture, and photography. Cara determines each […]

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!
