Tonight, I had the distinct pleasure to watch the first ever episode of the Jabbo & Crabbo show. This show is hosted by Katheryn & Guiesseppe Jones of Synchronis.tv . Tonight featured a sculptor named Marla Mclaine and singer songwriter Sheri Miller . A live streaming slide show of Marla’s work was played during the show using a program called CamTwist for the Mac.

The Jabbo & Crabbo show is going to be featuring artists from across the web and across all genres, and teaching us ways in which we can leverage new media and web 2.0 applications to gain viewership for our art.

The web is bringing more and more opportunities to artists of all types. Web 2.0 tools such as podcasting, and live streaming have unlimited potential for writers, actors, sculptor, and woodturners alike. In fact tonights featured artist Marla Mclaine will be featured in a live exhibit. I asked "Why not stream the event to the web?" this only seems logical to me as the potential is infinite. More people who want access to your work will be able to gain access, and a strugglig artist can begin to flourish.

Katheryn said during the show "Many artists are ignoring the technology to spite their face " I agree with her 100%. Folks, as artists I know "Marketing & PR" are often baaaaaaad words, but the fact is this "If you dont get your work out there…No one will see it! " Don’t be afraid to show your work, pull your head out of the sand and get in touch with the good folks at the Jabbo & Crabbo show and get yourself some pub!

Jabbo & Crabbo show airs each Monday evening at 9:15 EST. Check em out!
