The Three- Branch Model
The areas that Art Love Magic focuses our efforts on are:
Publishing
Publishing is
our first love. ArtLoveMagic will create and publish a variety of material from
comics to prose to art books, etc. We also produce and sell merchandise, such as
posters, prints, and t-shirts.
Our first major publishing project is The Book of
Angels & Nightmares, due out in 2007.

Artist
Development
We
believe there is a staggering amount of artistic talent that goes under
developed and/or unrecognized. With a little opportunity and guidance, many more
artists can have fulfilling, sustainable careers.
Through inclusion in our publishing projects
and live events, and also through teaching at schools and direct mentoring, we
hope to help many artists have an easier time getting their careers going.
Live
Events
We create amazing live experiences
that bring together artists from a number of different disciplines- including
painting, comics. jewlery, poetry, musicians, photography, comics and more. The
public is invited out to share time with these artists, watch them create, and
purchase their works.
Our guiding principle for
live events:
To create live events that highlight the gift of the artist, and fund the
artist's future work, in an atmosphere that fosters the creative spirit.
Our first event, REACH, was a huge success. It was February 28th, 2007 (read the report from that event here).
Our second event FUSION, also a success, was the evening of April 28th 2007 (read the report from that event here).
Our next event is AWAKEN,
on the evening of Saturday, June 30th 2007. (info

other... Service
ArtLoveMagic serves our community by
speaking at local public schools and giving one on one direct mentoring to young artists.
We are also proud to support Scottish Rite Hospital by drawing for children there monthly.
We've just begun working with Barnes and Noble to support their local storytime for children, and are currently planning presentations there on drawing, and on comics.
