Oracle: Fine Arts Review

The Spring 2006 issue of the Oracle is out now. I was on the production staff, and have two pieces of artwork published in it, one drawing, and one photograph. It feels good to be published again. Last year I worked on the production staff editing the images of the featured artwork.

The cover was designed by Josh Holland, featuring the art of Laura Rasmussen, both of whom are pictured in my previous entry.



I think it's interesting that both of the images chosen to be published are of mouths. I submitted about six different images, but these two were the ones picked. I'm most pleased that Oral Fixation was chosen, because I drew it specifically to submit to the magazine. I'm really honored that my work is featured among such wonderful student artists. The quality of the work submitted (literary and fine art) just keeps improving every year, with the design being pushed a little more.

I'm really proud of Jason, the Art Editor, for getting everything together, as far as layout and putting in all work. Most of the people involved with the design of Oracle will be graduating this semester, but hopefully, there will be others to step up to keep the mag going in the right direction. It's a great vehicle showing all the talent located her in the Deep South.
