TalentDatabase’s Renate Ikinger didn’t start out as a paper artist. Like so many of us she had a “day job” as a web designer and programmer that paid the bills. When Ikinger turned 40, she decided she had enough of that life and was ready to do her crafting full-time.

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” – Dorothy Parker
Science cannot exist without curiosity, just like art cannot exist without imagination. After all, isn’t science the art of discovering “how stuff works”?
Since 1998, the aptly named website HowStuffWorks.com has existed to inform folks with a healthy affliction for curiosity about […]
Bob Baker knows about Self-Promotion
by AJ West (January 30th, 2008 | 2:06 pm) - No Comments
Self-promotion is a necessity when you are first starting out as an artist or musician. If you don’t self-promote, no one will know who you are by just word of mouth, that part comes later in the equation. There is a hierarchy when it comes to marketing and no one knows how to self-promote better […]

Here is a uniquely interesting blog we stumbled upon. It is art on a soda can, or pop can depending on from whence you came.
Artist Charles Kaufman recycles (our favorite art!) beer and soda cans for an interesting tin canvas. He then takes his trusty acrylics and paints upbeat and colorful mini-pictures that he frames […]

How to Write An Artist’s Statement
by AJ West (January 18th, 2008 | 2:34 pm) - No Comments
As a writer myself, when in doubt, follow KISS (keep it simple stupid). Especially when writing an artist’s statement or biography. Not only do people have a short attention span, but they lose interest after a couple of paragraphs.
Deanna from the blog, Artist Emerging has constructed some helpful advice when you sit down to write […]

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!
