Starting back in August 2003, Craftster.org is a haven for the hip, a do-it-yourselfer’s paradise. These DIY projects cross the boundaries previously set by cross-stitched framed quotes and tea cozies, and now occupy a place in the realm of cool.

Map the Music Documentary
by AJ West (February 27th, 2008 | 12:20 pm) - No Comments
Just one of our favorite things…an indie documentary film following musicians around the USA called “Map the Music”. These filmmakers went on tour and spent some time with some other brilliant musicians and friends such as Zoe Keating, Kate Havnevik, Rachael Yamagata, and Charlotte Martin, as well as Cary Brothers, Levi Weaver, and Guy Sigsworth […]
Projekt30 Fiction, Lies and Evasion
by AJ West (February 27th, 2008 | 11:55 am) - No Comments
Of course all three terms are related in an incestuous cycle. One of the first uses of art was to tell a story. Religions organizations once commissioned visual depictions of their stories to convey them to a sometimes predominately illiterate audience, or now simply to bring their beliefs to life. Political organizations and/or independent artists […]
Tenori-On : The New Interface of Light and Sound
by AJ West (February 26th, 2008 | 4:16 pm) - No Comments
The Tenori-on, the latest from music powerhouse Yamaha. Its basically a revamped lite-bright with sound and without all those annoying colored plastic pegs and the peg by number black construction paper. Its smaller than a laptop and about as thick as an etch-a-sketch.
We know Yamaha to make keyboards and kick-ass music equipment, but exactly what […]

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!
