The book about animal respect will show quality artwork by artists committed to an increased respect for animals.
Number of artists who confirmed participation: 14
Project: Book publication
When: Publication beginning of 2010.
First artists submissions will be requested as soon as we have confirmed 50 participating artists.
Description: Preferrably 100 artists present each an animal artwork. Each artist will be invited to submit a high quality digital image and a short written statement on this topic.
There will be one page for each artist, including the artists name, personal website, the artwork image and the written statement.
The written statement should express the artist's personal thought on animal rights and it may be in a language of the artist's choice.
One image for each artist, of his/her own choice.
The design of each page is done by the editors as it would be too time consuming having each artist designing the pages.
Book format: 18 x 18 cm
Printing will be done on the internet publishing company www.blurb.com and each participating artist will be able to purchase their copies at a net price.
The selection of artists is done by the book editors and the decision is with the editors on what works of art will be selected in the final draft. The plan is still to include all invited artists.
Submitted artwork may be refused by the editors should the quality of the image be low.
Editors are:
Krisztina
Asztalos, Hungary
Martin Bonnici, Australia
Heinz Goevert, Germany
Carla Goldberg, USA
Stefan Tunedal, Sweden
