Following
your bliss can be painful but there is no other
option for the artist. We are interested in redemption.
We like to take risks.
We are seeking
high quality art, photography, poetry, and articles
about music and film. We focus on the multidimensionality
of the artistic nature, and like to show the real
person behind the art. Let us know if you work
in more than one medium…tell us your secrets.
The first
step to publication in COPIOUS is by email. Please
send your PROFESSIONAL bio and credits to: submissions@copiousamounts.com.
Include written samples in the body of the email.
If your work is visual, send a link to your artist’s
web site. No attachments will be accepted.
If your
work is selected for publication, COPIOUS will
ask you to talk about 3 things (under 250 words
please):
1. Your
artistic aesthetic – not how your agent
wants to market you, but your true philosophy.
Talk about the burning rapture of the muse. Make
it personal. Maybe something dramatic happened
to set you on this path. We won’t be shocked.
Try to sum it up in 3 sentences.
2. Tell
us how others describe your work versus how you
see it? Do they get it?
3. We would
like one story/example of obstacles you have overcome
or are currently struggling with. You can be critical,
you can vent. Show your humanity. Tell us what
we want to know. Tell us the truth.
