Themes & Deadlines
Ready for some myth and
magic? Our first theme for Holidays 2009 will be Dragons and Unicorns.
Round up your favorite mythical beasties and make a scene for
RSM. The second theme for that issue will be Angel Collage.
Any art with angelic content will be blessed by our editorial staff. Deadline
for both themes: June 20, 2009.
Looking further ahead, the first
theme for our Spring 2010 issue will be Mail Art. Artwork on
any theme can be stamped on an envelope or postcard and sent through the mail.
Remember, the art is on the outside of the envelope and should be visible
to our friends at the post office. (If you want your mail art returned, please
include 61 cents postage inside the envelope, along with stamp credits.) The
second theme for that issue will be Asian. China, Japan, you know .
. . the wonders of the East. Deadline for both themes: September 20, 2009.
Please remember to include
your name, address, and stamp credits on the back of each submission. Note
also: We need to receive your artwork on or before the deadline; if it comes
in later, it may not be considered for publication. Note also that cover artists
receive $200.
General Guidelines
All submissions should have some
rubber stamp imagery. With each submission, please list stamp credits. Instructions
are not needed with the submission.
Always include your name, postal
address, telephone number or e-mail address and stamp credits on the back
of each submission. Submissions can be original artwork, slides, photographs,
color photocopies or color prints.
We welcome artwork on issue themes.
There are generally two themes per issue. (See below for specific information
on theme submissions.)
We also welcome artwork not on a
specific theme. These pieces can appear in the various columns within each
issue. Also, when theme artwork isn't returned right away, that means we're
considering it for a future issue, either a second centerfold or for one
of the columns.
Theme Art
We prefer submissions no larger
than 5 inches by 6-1/2 inches in size. All submissions are subject to reduction.
Theme artwork can include highly dimensional art or 3-D pieces.
Submit up to four entries per theme.
Artwork is returned when accompanied by an SASE. If submitting for more
than one theme, please include an SASE for each theme-this helps us keep
track of everything. Always include your name, postal address, telephone
number or e-mail address and stamp credits on the back of all your artwork.
Cover
Art - Cover artists receive $200. Cover submissions
can be:
1) 8-5/8 inches
wide by 11-1/4 inches high. This size assumes the artwork fills
the whole cover. About 1/4 inch will be trimmed off each edge. Please
leave a blank space somewhere for information about what's inside
the issue. Also, try not to put any of your favorite images in one of
the bottom corners of the cover, where a store pricing symbol will be
placed.
2) 8-5/8 inches
wide by 10-1/2 inches high. This size fills the cover except for
a 3/4 inch strip across the top for information about what's inside
the issue. About 1/4 inch will be trimmed from each edge. Again, try
not to put any cool images in one of the bottom corners, where the store
pricing symbol will be placed. (Remember that about 1.5 inches of the
page will be overlaid with our logo.)
