Make Me a Superstar

naomitalenthaus.pngBreaking into the industry is always hard, (unless, of course you’ve got a famous Mom and Pop and some modelesque looks, but we digress.) So when an opportunity as amazing as Talenthouse comes along, we have to share it.

Talenthouse gives anyone the opportunity to work with professionals in fashion, film, music, art and photography. And we’re not talking about people so indie even the most hip of hipsters hasn’t heard of them. We mean big names like Naomi Campbell, Dr. Dre, Nokia, and Adidas.

The site works so that professionals can post “Creative Invites” and anyone can submit their work. Talenthouse protects the artist’s creativity and makes no claims over the work submitted (a tricky loophole, whereas most contests claim some ownership over work submitted.) Your friends can vote for your work, and the host will select one winner to collaborate with.

Start getting creative! Naomi Campbell has posted two invites: one for a photographer and one for a model. There’s also a ski goggle design contest for Adidas, a viral video for Dr. Dre, and a ton of other options that will stimulate all your creative processes.

Networking It

naomicampbelltalenthouse.jpgJust what the world needs, right…another online community. But this one has us at least mildly intrigued.

Launching today, Talenthouse.com is a site for the creative and artistic. You can upload your art, designs, music etc onto your profile and it will also link up with Facebook, MySpace and the like.

I guess the point is that it’s a more focused, niche community and who are we to knock anything that lets people get their creative work out in front of more people. Their soft launch has already garnered 25,000 members and they’re hoping that number will grow to a million.

Naomi Campbell is on board as a supporter. As is Stephen Dorff, which is super duper random. But the name that made us take notice is director Fernando Meirelles. Because City of God might just be one of the most amazing movies EVER.

If you guys join up, let us know how goes.
