What about the readers?
This is the first time I’ve written to a magazine, and I’ve been a reader of ImagineFX since issue one jumped out at me from the shelves at a newsagent.
The reason I’m writing is because I support the ideas raised in Ronald Gerard’s letter from issue 152. I’d love to see more reader content showcased in the magazine with a dedicated page for this – along with perhaps their sketch work too, and even their home studio setup.
My last point would be about the ImagineFX special issues. It would be nice to know about what’s coming up in advance. The comic art special issue has appeared on the shelves in my newsagent, but it would have been good to know it was in the pipeline. I love the sketchbook specials, too. It’s been 16 months since volume three appeared, so can we expect volume four any time soon?
Keep up the great work! Phil Armstrong, via email
Claire replies All good points, Phil! We’ll endeavour to let you know of any special editions coming up. Sketchbook volume four hit the shelves in the UK at the start of September, so should be winging its way around the world as I type. As for reader content, all the FXPosés are submitted by readers! Please turn to page 19 to see how you can submit your digital work and page 105 for traditional art. We also welcome you to submit your sketches for Sketchbook. See page 63 for details. Finally, if any reader has a brilliant studio space that they’d like to share for Artist in Residence, please email some photos to the address (left)!
