Issue: Spring 2011 + A New Poem --Austin Givens

We have been working furiously on starting a quarterly magazine: the first issue to be for this spring. In it, you will find work from many of the artists featured in this blog, as well as many talented artists new to the world of Absinthe Spoon Press.

As of now, our plan is for an e-magazine consisting of quality work by the end of April. While this issue is entirely solicited artwork from the vast web of creative minds we know personally, we plan to accept submissions for the next issue. Of course, there will be festivities leading up to the launch, and we will try to keep you updated on our progress. I know that Sara Holbert, whose beautiful work has been featured here, is working on a website for the magazine which will become our new hub to access the pdf, our blog, as well as other content.

I will be heading to North Carolina next weekend to meet with Aaron and set up the domain and such, and Michael and I will continue to dedicate more long nights to insure that we can deliver a quality magazine worth your time. Of course, we will evoke a little help from the green fairy from time to time.

I also want to thank Faith Kellermeyer for sketching up work for the magazine, which I used to personalize the format of our blog a bit.

In the mean time, keep reading the posts. We look forward to creating a community of quality artists whose work conquers inhibition.

Also, here is a new poem, which I have converted to a pdf to conquer the vertical poem issue with HTML.
