Seeking Artists for HAGAPALOOZA!

Welcome, on this eve of Walpurgisnacht - we are halfway to Halloween!

 

One of the most favorite characters for Halloween artists to create are witches.

This year, AUTUMN BRILLIANCE celebrates the Wise Woman in all her many forms.

Do you create lovely young witches? Frightening old haggard crones? Show us your best witchy artistry and you may end up in the pages of our Fall 2021 issue.

 Send us some good quality, hi-res (300 dpi) photos of your work, or send us a link to your artist website, to AB_magazine@yahoo.com  

Deadline for entries is July 2, 2021

 

 

 

Happy Springtime to Everyone!

Vincent and Esmeralda love Halloween the most, but are quite happy to romp in the clover all spring and summer long.

Most of us are indoors, working on various upcoming Halloween art projects. 

You can still access a FREE copy of AUTUMN BRILLIANCE by clicking this link below!

What are you working on? 

Love and Happiness and Good Health and Peace on Earth for 2021...

 

We all gain so much from just a little bit of kindness toward one another!

In spite of our differences, we're all ultimately sharing one thing in common - we are HUMAN, having a human experience on earth. You have freedom of choice: you can choose to make it bad, horrible, and hurtful to others, filling your life with venomous hatred, or you can choose to not be that way and live a life with kindness and peace. It's up to you.

I am forever and wholly grateful to all the experiences - good and bad - which are the total sum of me. Many good things occurred in 2020 that gave me much cheer and, I dare to think, to others, as well (among other things, I published two magazines! It felt incredible to share some beauty to others!).

Yet, sadly, 2020 was not in any way what most of us would consider having been a 'good year' by far. However, the dark cannot exist without the light; in each are lessons that we must pay attention to and grow from.

To quote Mary Oliver (one of my favorite poets) :

"Someone I loved once gave me a box of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too was a gift."

May your coming new year be filled with good things. Take care, and spread your positivity -it shines like a star.

With love and much gratitude,

Ellen Gee

We're featured on the Halloween Art & Travel Podcast!

Kristen J. Stafford's fabulous podcast is all about Halloween. 

If you collect art of this sort, if you like to travel and visit Halloween-inspired places and events, if you even remotely like this wondrous holiday, you will LOVE Kristen's thought-provoking and very fun podcast!

I was fortunate to have met this lovely lady at the 2019 Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween show in Marshall, Michigan. I'd heard a few episodes of Kristen's fascinating show in the past and found it very insightful into the lives and livelihoods of the many Halloween artists across the country. I am completely floored, honored and thrilled, to have been featured in it on October 30, 2020.
