For the morning people. Emails are coming soon today everyone!
After a lot of work and reviewing I finally narrowed the list down to 35 chosen artists for the Sacrilege art book (which by no means was easy). I tried to approach this like an art director would and picked unique, consistant styles that would lend well to the topic. I will make a small post after the list of reasons why I might have not included some submissions, though please remember I picked 35 out of well over 300, so I do not have the time to personally explain why any given person did or didn’t get in.
So without anything more here is the list (you’ll get an email tonight or tomorrow) please let me know if the name I have posted is incorrect (I tried to post everyone’s tumblr so everyone can see everyone else and follow, but in the future I’ll use everyone’s preferred site):
2. Ona Pitschka
3. Susan Bin
6. Skoptsy
7. Kayla Mayer
8. Sheryn Ng
9. Adea Dounley
10. Alex Joyce
12. Morgaine Faye
14. Cassie Wolfe
15. Siobhan Keenan
16. Ashely Mackenzie
18. Casey
20. Lucifer Effect
21. Natalie Hall
22. Felicia Choo
23. Hunter Bonyun
24. Dahlia P.
25. Alexis Lim
26. Alexis Cooke
28. Emily Rabbit
29. Renne Britton
30. Hilary Blair
31. Caroline O’Grady
33. Lochi
34. Kelly Bastow
So now is the part where I say if you did not get in don’t worry. If after the kickstarter begins and we get extra funding I’ll hold another round of submissions to include more artists. Reasons I didn’t include some art mostly revolved around lack of consistency in style, submitting too much fan art (makes it hard to see how original art would look), submitted too much subject matter that didn’t involve human/human anatomy (book is a bit human centric so it is hard to imagine how something would look if you don’t have a few pieces like that), photo/photo manipulation submissions, incorrect submissions that didn’t follow rules, and being generally rude.
Anyways, updates won’t happen for this on here for a while, but you can follow it at #sacriliegeartbook. All included artists will be emailed later (maybe tomorrow I’m pretty tired) about information regarding this whole process and due dates, etc. Thanks everyone, it was great seeing so much art in my inbox everyday!
Awe yisss! So excited to work on a piece for this ;;
