Awhile back, I came across an amazing indie photographer by the name of Josh Hofer. Josh may be young, but his photography is slowly being sought after by some well known bands on the scene such as Angels and Airwaves, The Cinematics (a personal favorite), Fall Out Boy, Plain White Tees and Paul Wall. His […]

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.

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!
