More from CurrentTV

After blogging about Cristine Cambrea HERE I asked how more of our artists could be featured on their site and channel. Here is their reply:

Thank you for posting our video and speaking so amiably about our site. We really appreciate it. Artist videos like Cristine Cambrea's are actually submitted by the artist or someone they know--what we call viewer created content, which is a large portion of our programming.

Anyone is welcome to create mini documentaries, what we call pods, and send them in. All the info you need to get started is right here: http://current.com/make/pod

The best videos receive a monetary incentive as well as getting on TV. I totally encourage you to get your artists to create videos and submit their stories. We'd love to hear about them!


So, if you're looking for more exposure, here's is fun way to garner attention and use those expensive digital cameras we've all got laying around.

Bigger is Better

Awhile ago we decided that our thumbnails were not doing justice to some of the great art on the site. The size was always carried over from one design to the next even though there is way more room as we continue to stream-line everything. So, long story short, we are beefing up our thumbs. Right now it is only on the homepage, but soon all thumbs will have the new improved size.

Here's an example of Old vs New: (Stormy Skies by Rick Smith)


We think this subtle increase will really help our customers and artists find each other.

Watch the Faces of Boundless Artist - Cristine Cambrea

I received a pleasant email this morning from an employee of Current TV. He wrote to let us know that one of our artists, Cristine Cambrea, was being featured in a new video on their website.

Without further ado....

Of course we've known how video-genic Cristine is for awhile thanks to her great Studio Tour on BoundlessGallery.com.


Thanks again to Current TV, which can be found on the following providers and channels:
+ DIRECTV 366
+ Comcast Nationwide 107
+ Dish Network 196

Be sure to check them out. And, if you are an artist, don't be afraid to contact the media and tell them your story. You never now what might happen until you try...

R.I.P. Robert Rauschenberg

Today, I came across a headline that caught my eye. "Titan of American Art, is Dead at 82". Although I'm young, I have a pretty good encyclopedia of famous people in my head. However, I was unfamiliar with the name, Robert Rauschenberg. After reading this NY Times Story by Michael Kimmelman, I'm sure I would have liked to have learned about him before he passed.

Kimmelman describes him as follows, "A brash, garrulous, hard-drinking, open-faced Southerner, he had a charm and peculiar Delphic felicity with language that nevertheless masked a complex personality and an equally multilayered emotional approach to art, which evolved as his stature did."

If you've got the time and inclination, read over that story and take a moment to consider your own journey through life's always uneven paths.
