TalkingArch won't be able to provide a graphical desktop on the live image, as Arch itself doesn't provide one. That said, it is indeed possible to make such a live image that would include the GNOME or MATE packages necessary to have a running desktop at boot time, and it could even be made to talk easily. As a matter of fact, someone did release an Arch-MATE iso I think about a year ago that did exactly this. It came up with a running MATE desktop, but also included the Arch install scripts for installing a real Arch system onto any hard disk or USB drive. I don't think this ever left the testing phase however. It does seem like a good idea for something to have fun trying.
