Vol. 2 Submissions Deadline Approaching...

Hey Everyone!

This is just a reminder that the deadline for Illustrious Voyeur Volume #2:  Campfire Tales/Ghost Stories is SEPTEMBER 14th at 5PM!  We welcome new submissions as well as existing work that fit the parameters and theme listed below. 

Your interpretation of "campfire tales" could be anything from ghost stories to Native American legend.  We want depictions of the conversations that tend to take place late at night, in the middle of the woods, around a campfire.  Your piece can be inspired by an already existing tale or created around a personal idea.  If you need some inspiration we suggest looking up Are You Afraid of the Dark?,  Goosebumps,  Tales from the Crypt, and Eerie Indiana.  GET CREATIVE WITH IT AND HAVE FUN!  Remember: your submissions MUST be formatted in a vertical orientation, 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches, and sent as a jpeg file with 300 dpi. The submissions must be in black and white OR grayscale media.

Don't Forget! November's theme is Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), so after you submit or have submitted for this month, start brainstorming for next month's submissions!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

We look forward to seeing your contribution!

Thanks again and stay tuned for more IV updates!

TGIF for IV

Hello Everyone!

We have finally done it! We have completed binding all of the 250 copies of the Illustrious Voyeur Volume 1: The Circus!




 We handed a few out around campus and they have been really well received so far! EXCITING! We are a few hours away from attending First Friday downtown to hand these to the public!

For those of you who are submitting for Vol 2: Campfire Tales, we wanted to tell you that we are pushing the dates for submissions BACK a few days. SO the new deadline for Illustrious Voyeur Volume 2: Campfire Tales is now September 14th by 5pm. We will also send out a follow up email tonight to remind you all about this change. DON'T FORGET that once we receive your submissions we will send out a follow up email that contains a critique as well as information for proceeding with your submissions. You can always submit as many pieces as you want each month.

Again, we want to encourage anyone to submit for Volume 2 and other future volumes/themes as mentioned from the previous entry. We would also like to extend an additional Thank You to those contributing artists as well as those of you who helped us with binding this week. THANK YOU!

Stay tuned for more news as we move into Vol 2: Campfire Tales as well as information about our Etsy Shop (that's opening soon)! Please send your submissions to illustriousvoyeur@gmail.com. All of the submission guidelines are listed in the previous journal entry.

Thanks again!
