Direct from the Studio - The Magazine.
How do we get our art in front of more people? This is a common questions for many artists. I had an idea. What if we collaborated and shared our work, together, with all the audiences we have access to? We could reach a much bigger audience of potential collectors.
I've been publishing a digital magazine for over a year now, on my own. It's time to open up this opportunity to others. Together we can share to our communities, grow our exposure and increase our sales.

What are the stats for the magazine, so far?
Here are the stats from the issues that I've published so far. These issues have gone out through my own email list and social media accounts. Pretty impressive. I'm pleased with the direction of the magazine and look forward to sharing this opportunity with you.

This is a sample of the cover. The actual
cover will be designed once the three featured artists are confirmed. Here's the link to my last publish issue. Click here. |
Here is the mock up of the cover. The magazine will have the animated flip feature, and a table of contents for all artists featured within each issue. It will be published every quarter with the next available issue being in Oct 3, 2022. Each issue will be available for viewing for 2 weeks. This will build in some urgency as the magazine will go away after the two week period. Each artist will have a three page spread. One page for "Meet the artists", and two pages for your art. Each piece that you have for sale will have a direct link from the magazine to your sales page. All sales remain yours. There is no commission to be paid to me. Limit of (3) artists per issue. |
