Testing the use of the IPhone

by joeralt on January 16, 2010

I guess like many people I also have many reservations about the extensive reliance on technology and especally as an artist there is this great apprehention and even fear of developing dependency on what seems to be almost like a betrayal of a kind.

Unique Internet Presence for Artists

by joeralt on December 1, 2009

So, in my opinion, it is very important to develop a strategy that can enhance the creative process trough bringing awareness to that place where our creative process begins which is the inner communication.

A dilemma

by joeralt on January 14, 2009

in general I say that your Web site is your portfolio; it’s the best of what you have to offer and displays your business as you want the world to see it. A blog, on the other hand, is more an ongoing conversation you have with prospects and clients. It can help you establish yourself as an expert, post information quickly, and differentiate yourself from the competition…at least right now.”
