The Fine Arts Magazine e-Newsletter
Vol. 2, No. 22 March 2004


Dear Friends,

Here is the contents of the March issue of The Fine Arts Magazine.

This March edition is a true "tour de force". Over 100 artists are published and more than 27 writers contributed to this Special Edition. Over 300 art images and photographs are published in this single edition, and if the entire magazine were to be published in hardcopy format, it would run well over 200 pages! And we intend to keep up the excellent quality by bringing you great features and engrossing articles on a regular basis. Isn't all of this worth a $24 yearly subscription? Why wait for spring? Subscribe today! Go here to see the subscription modalities:
http://www.sierra-arts.net/SubscriptionRates.html

A great addition to the online magazine is the incorporation of an easy method for you to printout those articles of interest to you. Now you can printout your favorite article and put it on your kitchen table or beside your bed to read in your sparetime.

It took more than four months to put this Special Edition together. I know you'll not only enjoy it, but learn a lot and find much inspiration here. For those of you who have paid the $24 yearly subscription already, I know once you see this Special Edition you'll be overwhelmed with that inner satisfaction that you made the right choice. For those of you who haven't subscribed yet, well, you can still access certain sections of the magazine for free, but you really don't know what you're missing. No other art magazine in existence brings you the quality and the quantity that the Fine Arts Magazine brings you. And it's all for peanuts -- just $24 per year for a magazine subscription that really should be fixed at a much higher price! But, hey, we're artists, too, and we want you to enjoy the art at an affordable price.

Fantasy Art is the theme for this edition of The Fine Arts Magazine. In the "Fantasy Art Hall of Fame" you'll find featured more than 40 great illustrators, like Michael Whelan, Frank Frazetta, Don Maitz, Alan Lee, John Howe, Chesley Bonestell, and more! Our articles section for this month includes an in-depth look at the roots of fantasy, myth, mythical creatures, monsters, dreams, and some serious thoughts on the genre. Another extremely interesting addition concerns comics and the science fiction pulps. Don't miss these great features.

We've got five interviews with amazing artists this month, too. And along with the regular columns written BY artists FOR artists, we've got a totally new section on Michelangelo Buonarroti, the famous Renaissance Sculptor. Everything you've ever wanted to know about Michelangelo is here!

In all, this March edition offers you not only fantasy artists/illustrators galore, but also some nifty art features which I know will inspire you to produce great art.

It's been a long four months and hundreds of hours have been invested in this Special Edition. The Fine Arts Magazine is here to stay and I hope you'll stay with us as we grow together. To benefit from the great reading and viewing material in this issue, please subscribe today!

Enjoy!

Art Hall of Fame. A Biography on each artist is presented,
as well as photographs of the artists and examples of their artwork.

Twenty-five young, aspiring artists tell their stories. Some of the art
is naive, of course, but that's because it was done by young, aspiring artists.

~The Fine Art of Space Travel: The Life and Work of Chesley Bonestell
by Ron Miller, Edited by James Leonard-Amodeo
This is an in-depth biography of the man and his art. Bonestell has
become an icon in the world of sci-fi illustration. He pioneered many
techniques and influenced space travel in a way that no other artist
has ever done. Even the Japanese today have their own "Bonestell"!

A list of resources related to fantasy art on the internet. Each resource
is accompanied by a commentary.

EMERGING ARTIST INTERVIEWS:

works of art that are intense with emotions.

healthy as an artist.
