Posts Tagged ‘Site News’

2009 has been quite the intense year for me thus far. I moved, I am still in the middle of starting another business and I put Carmine Magazine on the backburner. I can’t promise you that I’ve reclaimed this magazine from the backburner, but I do want to still keep it as current as possible.

We’re going to be going through a number of big changes on the site here in the coming months. I have interviews that have been in the posting queue for months and I apologize for that. I haven’t forgotten about you! Life just got in the way for a while. We’ve kicked off these changes with a new layout (pictured above) which is more graphic intesive and fits the focus of Carmine much more than past layouts. I’ve rearranged the sidebar and changed the way we display our ads.

In the coming months look forward to the About and Advertise pages to be rewritten. The future will bring less artist interviews and more actual content. You can also look forward to a page with information on our writers, more artist promotions, more art news, more articles, a few more tutorials, a new semi-regular feature I’ve been dying to put together for months, and hopefully lots of material to keep your inspired and informed.

Interested in writing an article for us? Have a tutorial you’ve been dying to write or share with the world? Feel like pimping out your collection of artwork or webstore? Drop us a line: carminemag@gmail.com We will take a look at your ideas and give you a real chance to get your work out there to our readers.

Hello Carmine Magazine readers,

Jami Lee Rosa here, your magazine editor extraordinaire. 2009 is almost upon us and a lot has changed since I started interviewing artists for Add My Art Journal in January 2008. To celebrate one year of interviewing artists (approximately one year anyway) I would like to rewrite the interview questions again.

I want to know what questions you, the readers, would like to see answered by our artists. There are a few questions I’m going to keep in the interview anyway, but some of them can definitely be replaced.

Please leave your question ideas in the comments here. If you’re reading this through an RSS feed on Livejournal (or some other site) please go to the original post here on CarmineMag.com (you can visit this entry here to leave your comment. I don’t check the livejournal feed for comments!) The people that send us the best questions will get to see their question answered by every artist we interview until the questions change again (that should be at least six months or more), their link will be put up on our blogroll and they’ll get mad love from me. (Physical prizes are not available at this time, sorry!)

Thank you for your ideas and your time,
Jami Lee Rosa
