I've found a new website called Talent House that allows artists to support each other in contests and talent searches and also collaborate with each other.
The website itself is horrendously aggravating, just being honest. It often fails to save information and the share buttons don't always work. It looks like it needs a better coder, or perhaps it's the server. Either way, the cons don't outweigh the benefits of networking in another community.
I'm currently in a contest to design Seether's new t-shirt design for their upcoming tour and would like some support. Voting doesn't start for another fifteen days, but Talent House has a nifty 'support' button on the right-hand side of the page which will give you a reminder when voting takes place. It also gives me a confidence boost when I see I have new supporters and as we all know, art is a field where confidence is rather transient.
Here is the link to my Seether submission!The image is small... but if you go to my talent house profile and view my portfolio, you can see it in full screen... it looks much better in full screen.
Please help support a fellow artist. And if you join Talent House and support me, I'll return the favor and maybe we can even collaborate in the future.
Thanks,
Aaron
P.S.
I'll be replying to the responses I received on my last Journal soon. I've been hugely swamped with creating pitch material for studio fund-raising.
