ErraticusZine

Autumn Erraticus Available for Purchase!

The Autumn 2008 Issue of Erraticus Zine is currently available for purchase here. A limited number of copies will be printed, so if you want one please reserve it now!

As of Autumn 2008 the future of Erraticus Zine is unclear. I will be publishing the Autumn (October) 2008 and Winter (Jan/Feb) 2009 issues and they will be available here or directly in my Etsy shop. After that I may discontinue all publication of the zine, offer it as an online zine, or.. I don't know what! I will update this site and the Erraticus Zine Blog with any news.

Call for Art!

I'll be starting to put Erraticus #8 - Spring! - together soon, so I'm looking for some art contributions!

I'm looking for art that says "Spring" - renewal, regrowth, whimsy, delight - I (esp. at this time of year!) have a real penchant for flowery, vintagey, pastely, birdsy things that are on the funky side of cute! No cutsie please - keep it fresh and unique!

Collage, mixed media, textile art, jewelry, collage, doodles - whatever! Erraticus loves it all!

If you are interested in submitting art, please start by emailing me a LOW RES (72 dpi) jpg of your work to me at: melissa@erraticuszine.com

I will need a HIGH RES (300 dpi) copy of your file for printing, so please do not submit anything that you don't have hi res scans of!

I'm also interested in articles on artists, art projects, exchanges and how to's - so email me at the above address if you'd like to submit an article idea.

I will be writing an article on Etsy shops (this may be a regular feature) and blogs - so if you have a shop or blog you'd like listed, let me know.

ArtErratica Valentine Art Charm Bracelet on Auction for Meganaid

I have just listed our ArtErratica Valentine Art Charm Bracelet on eBay. Here is a detail of it:

I cannot mention this on eBay, since it is against their policies, but all profits from this auction will be donated to Meganaid to help fund treatment and care for Patti Gibbons daughter, Megan, a young single mother and Iraq war veteran. Please follow the link above to read her story.

Each artist who participated in the ArtErratica Art Charm bracelet, donated a piece to be combined into this amazing collaborative art piece. It's a truly unique piece of art for the wrist!

Even if you are not interested in bidding, I would SO appreciate it if you could help spread the word in your blogs about this piece up for auction. I hope we can raise a good amount of money to do what we can to help Megan and her young daughter. Please copy and paste the links above and help spread the word!

Thank you...

Update!

No sooner do I get this new Erraticus website and blog set up, than our home internet connection "breaks" and isn't repaired until nearly a week later! Arrgghh!

I've filled 80% of the recent orders - THANK YOU! But I'm afraid a few orders came in I wasn't able to get to yet.

I tried to update the site via my husband's PC and dial up.. Issues #1 and #4 are now sold out. #3 is almost sold out. I also need to print up some more copies of #7 to fulfill the recent orders - so if you ordered one in the last week, my humble apologies for the delay while I print up some more! I should have all orders out by the end of the week!!
