A Call to Artists and Poets!

Tue Jun 23, 2009, 6:04 PM
This is an idea that I’ve had for a really long time, and I want to make it a reality!



Magazine title: Fantasy Enchantments

Genre: High Fantasy, New Age, and Myth

Deadline: July 24, 2009


This would include artwork and poetry dealing with faeries, gods and goddesses, elves, druids, wiccans, greenmen, Celtic and Norse myths, Greek and Roman myths and anything else that fits into this genre.
Fantasy Enchantments will be published under my business name Avalon Enterprises, and will be 20 pages in comic book format. I plan to publish Fantasy Enchantments as a magazine, four times a year (possibly more then that after it starts selling)



In return for your artwork, and poetry submissions you will receive one copy of the Fantasy Enchantments magazine. Unfortunately I cannot afford to pay the submitters at this time, but as the magazine grows I’m sure that will change.



Art and Poetry submissions:

Please send an email to reyahawk2@yahoo.com with the following (with :submissions” in the title of the email):

Your full name

Your Street Address

Your Email

Your website (if you have one)

A Small Bio (100 words or less)

And whether or not you want your email displayed in the magazine



If it’s poetry that you are sending, it can be attached in either a word file ( .doc) or just attached at the bottom of the email. And has to be able to fit on a single printed page.



If it’s artwork then you can attach it to your email with these regulations: first send me a small image, no larger the 600 pixels across the top, so I can see what it is that you’re submitting. Then after receiving an email from me saying that you were selected for the issue you can email me a larger version of the image. The larger version of the image must be at least 300 dpi and no bigger then 8.5” x 11”…and my mailbox can only hold attachments that are smaller then 10megabytes, so please keep that in mind. (usually image attachment should be within the range of 3 and 6 megs) And only one artwork per email.



If you don’t have digital files you can email me and I’ll write back with my street address so you can send me copies. (DO NOT send in originals!! Make sure that they are copies!)



You can submit as many times as you want, but because the magazine is only 20 pages, I can only accept two submissions from each person per magazine. That means either 2 submissions of artwork, two submissions of poetry, or one of each. If you submit more then two then I might hold some submissions for the next issue.



Copyrights:


You hold the copyright to your own artwork/poetry. This magazine is just a way to advertise what you do. By submitting you are giving me one time copyright use to print your artwork/poetry in my magazine. But you still hold the copyrights.

Sherrie Spencer has been producing many different works of art nearly her entire life. Transforming thoughts and images into tangible creations has been a passion for her since the beginning, and it was borne of necessity.

At the age of five, Sherrie suffered a major stroke. With the entire right side of her body disabled and her right arm completely paralyzed, her life had changed dramatically in an instant.

Since her speech was severely impaired, Sherrie began to draw in an effort to communicate her thoughts and needs to those around her. Her first artistic effort was a drawing of a horse (what little girl’s life would be complete without one?).

Because her mother could not at first identify what she was trying to draw, Sherrie knew she had to sharpen her skills in an effort to perfect her craft. The level of detail and the lifelike imagery evident in her work is testimony to this goal having been accomplished.

With intensive therapy and the passage of time, Sherrie regained her mobility in part and her speech entirely. At that point, however, she had already developed an insatiable passion for art. She began drawing in earnest, and took advantage of inspiration whenever it presented itself.

This outward expression of inward feelings served as something of a coping device when Sherrie was an adolescent, attempting to cope with all that comes at that point in life.

Exposure to the world of art and artists themselves inspired Sherrie to embark on a career of her own. She discovered immediately that it suited her perfectly; her deep devotion to creating and her strong ambition have proven to be indispensable assets. Even now, doing what she loves for a living is proving to be more than its own reward.

In the time since finding her calling, Sherrie has displayed her works all over the country at comic book conventions, SCA events, Renaissance festivals and world wide on the internet. Her art has been published several times in small press books over the years, including “The Little House of Music” (a children’s book), “26 Tears” (compiled as a tribute to Joseph Michael Linsner, creator of the “Dawn” comic series), the “Dawn 2006 Convention Sketchbook” which features similar art, as well as her own self published art books “Atomic Abyss” volumes 1 and 2, and "Dreams and Desires" vol. 1.

Sherrie continues to work on her own graphic novel, to be completed sometime in 2009. She also has begun producing a line of New Age products under the name of “Avalon Enterprises” which features many of her hand-made and hand-painted creations.

Although Sherrie feels there’s much more she’s yet to learn, and that she has far to go, she is intent on enjoying the journey.

:star:You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
