The beat goes on...

The 1950s and early 60s, known as the beat generation, were filled with artists, musicians and poets such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and others. These creatives chronicled their lives through books, poems and music. Smoke, Jazz and open mic poetry filled rooms with music and tales of love, lust and dreams. Although some today still collaborate in those artsy little rooms, more often than not, the internet is the new 'cafe' of choice. We want to recreate a creative haven, a place where you, the artist, can go and relax, hang out with old friends or meet new ones. So get a cup of coffee or hot tea and take a moment to read the following and give us your thoughts. We want this to be your community. Please help us define an "internet cafe" for artists and bohemians to interact as well as post their poems, art and music.

Coming Soon: The MYspin Directory


What is the MYspin directory?

• A comprehensive list of creative resources.
• A portfolio showcase for designers, ad agencies, photographers, illustrators, fontographers, production companies, and printers.
• A community for creative professionals.


Why The MYspin Directory?

• With over 1,000,000 visitors and 18 million page views so far this year, we wanted to offer you, our customers and potential customers, a way to get noticed and be seen on the internet.
• The listings will allow you to create ads that advertise your talents and services, a great new way for you to connect and interact with your peers in the industry.

Cost, what cost?
• If you are an active PhotoSpin subscriber you get a full color ad and listing absolutely FREE.
• Not a PhotoSpin subscriber? We still offer you a FREE listing without the full color ad.

As the community grows you can have live chats with other artists, both show and sell your work (you set the price) and, in the future, have access to your own blog. Think of it as a modern day coffee shop, complete with an open forum and microphone. All you'll have to do is supply the artwork.
