The Blueprint:
Stories of Art and Life
This is more than a simple submission;
it’s a shared exploration of the artistic journey.
To every creator exploring the path of art:
Art is both a solitary adventure and an unpredictable odyssey. It might take the form of a midnight gamble on a blank canvas or a fleeting spark of inspiration drawn from life’s quieter moments. As artists, you carry within you a story unlike any other, a philosophy shaped by your journey, and insights born from both struggles and resilience.
We are crafting a unique online zine titled The Blueprint: Stories of Art and Life and warmly invite you to contribute your voice to this shared exploration:
"As artists, how do we navigate the balance between art and reality?"
Whether you’re just beginning to chart your course or have been steadfastly pursuing your journey for years, your perspective matters. Join us in building a tapestry of experiences, reflections, and creative visions that inspire, connect, and sustain artists everywhere.
For those struggling to find their creative path, your story might help someone else persevere.
For those outside the world of art, this zine will offer a glimpse into the unique existence of “art people.”
For you, it can be an opportunity to express and share—transforming the feelings you've held inside into tangible words or works that connect with others.
What do we want to hear?
Your creative philosophy: What keeps you creating despite it all?
Your survival story: What does your life beyond art look like?
A thought, a sentence, or an idea: Share a fragment of your understanding of art.
Your work: Paintings, poems, abstract designs, or quick sketches—anything that captures the artist’s truest inner voice is welcome.
