Featuring Magazine Issue #3 is being shipped out now!  It's not too late to order your very own copy.

We are having a MAIL ART CALL for Issue #4.  Do you like to make mail art?  Check out the details below:

Call for mail art

FEATURING is looking for all kinds of mail art to illustrate an article. If you like snail mail and love to make mail art, you are welcome to send it to us. There’s no ‘reward’ or something so you have to make it out of love for this art form – but then again: creating something beautiful is a reward in itself, isn’t it?


You can send your mail art to:
FEATURING Magazine
Sint Wilfriedstraat 4
5643 SC Eindhoven
The Netherlands
Be sure your email address is somewhere noted on the art you send us, so we can contact you. Your mail art has to be in by February 25 (take into account that it may take approximately two weeks for your mail art to get to us if you send it from outside Europe)

Heavily Layered Page + Featuring mag. giveaway

I took a magazine article... circled some words and created this phrase.

These two below are pages in progress.  I feel like I have not finished anything noteworthy recently, but I thought I would show you two art journal spreads that I have been adding things to on and off.

 The page on the left is mostly finished, but the page on the right needs more doodling and defining.

 Have you ordered a copy of the new Featuring magazine issue?  The 2nd issue has just finished printing and is being mailed out now!  I'm so excited to see the newest issue.  Here is our editor-in-chief Marit, reading the new issue and here is what she had to say about the issue.  And, Jenny DeBode, who shared her fabulous rock paintings, wrote about the magazine too.

For everyone who orders a copy before October 30, they will have a chance to win one of 5 copies of Alternative Art Journals: Explore Innovative Approaches to Collecting Your Creativity, by Margaret Peot.






We give away five copies to people who purchase issue 2 before October 30.

Everyone who purchases the magazine before that date has a chance to win, including the persons who pre-ordered already.

The second issue of FEATURING will officially be released in week 39, so now is the time to order your copy! What are you waiting for – go to the store and make sure you lay your hand on our second – again amazing – issue.

Issue #2 of Featuring Magazine is heading to the printers!

The 2nd issue of Featuring Magazine is going to the printers.  It is ready for pre-order!

I am part of the editorial team at Featuring magazine and I'm so excited for the release of this issue.  In this issue, I wrote the article titled Mapping It Out, which features the art of Mary C. Nasser, Tofu and Karey Kessler. Each of these artists explores using maps in their own way to tell a story or to make a statement.  I also wrote the Featured Blogger column:  Tammy Garcy from Daisy Yellow guides her blog readers with tutorials, art journaling prompts, challenges, inspirational photographs and interesting quotes. Tammy is our featured blogger!

I love this gorgeous cover!

Here is a preview of the Mapping It Out article...

The preview for Featuring Magazine is up.  We've been hard at work on it.   Check it out!

Painting and Featuring Magazine call for artwork

Featuring Magazine Call For Artwork
We extended the date and the theme for the theme gallery
of the first issue. ‘Applause’ seemed too narrow and rather
difficult for people to get inspired.
The new theme is: CHEERING, STOMPING AND APPLAUDING
The deadline for submissions is now February 29
