I was excited to see a post on our facebook page from Peg Englishman, who was inspired by my article on doodling.  Check out the artwork she made.

Tammy Garcia, who blogs at Daisy Yellow (that name is well known to the art journal community – some people even think
Tammy’s name is Daisy) started a new series on her blog: The Interview Series.

She interviews artists from time to time and the series start with... Marit Barentsen, founder and editor-in-chief of FEATURING.

Would you like a chance to win a copy of Issue #2?
BUY ISSUE #1 FOR A CHANCE TO WIN ISSUE #2

The FEATURING team values the opinion of our readers. That’s why you, when you order the debut issue of the magazine, will receive an email afterward with a link to a poll where you can give your honest opinion about the magazine. A lot of people already received that email and filled out the poll, which gives us a great and honest view on what you think

and helps us fine-tuning the magazine.

Your opinion is not only important to us, it could provide you something too. Among the people who fill out the poll, we raffle the second issue of the magazine. We are working on the second issue as we speak, and we expect publishing it by the end of August.

So, what are you waiting for? Order issue #1 right now, give your opinion and make a chance to win the next issue!

For issue #2, I wrote two articles!  The first one is about artists who use maps and map making in their art.  Mary Nasser is an artist who usually uses maps in her artwork.  She introduces other map artists on her blog.  Through her blog I was introduced to two other artists, Tofu and Karey Kessler, who I interviewed for the article.  The article highlights some tips for using maps and map making in your own art. 

For our Featured Blogger column, I interviewed the highly creative art journaler/mixed media artist, Tammy Garcia.  

I think you will like Issue #2 and I can't wait to see it myself!
