We are currently seeking artists, writers, bloggers… please read below to see how you can contribute to Creaturemag.
We are expanding and looking for Illustrators and writers with creative ideas for regular blog posts on the independent / alternative arts theme with an emphasis on drawing and illustration.
We are seeking proactive people with:
- A bit of spare time
- A passion for the arts
- The desire to publish your work / opinions and to highlight talented creative people and their work.
In particular we are looking for illustrators to create weekly / bi weekly illustrations especially for Creature along a theme of the artists choice. Please check the Creature blog to get an idea of the Creature aesthetic and to check out the artists already contributing.
We would also like to meet people interested in writing in the following areas:
- DIY arts – Interesting projects, collaborations, zines.
- Music (folk and independent artist interviews, reviews and articles)
- Below the radar culture (zineshows, fete’s, alternative scene)
Creaturemag is your platform. There is an emphasis on DIY, collaboration and the promotion of visually stimulating, weird, quirky creative output. We are open to all ideas and will respond to all who express interest.
