Just up today! The very talented artist and web designer extraordinaire, Alicia Caudle, at Altered Bits has put together her first zine issue, Anatomically Altered, and it is online free for your viewing pleasure.
She is going to be doing regular issues each with its own theme that for now will all be online. And just between you and me she shared some very interesting ideas for the future so you will want to keep on eye on this!
Oh and don’t say I didn’t warn ya, I made it in to this first edition with a rather risque mermaid so if your Victorian sensibilities are easily affronted I suggest you not venture inside its pages.
By the way that very mermaid is a work in progress and will be evolving into a full fledged mechanical performer. She will dance inside her own ornate wood theater made from an antique sewing machine drawer with lavish decor and attire that will stay on or not at the whim of the viewer(s). More on her later. ; )
Back to Alicia’s zine ~ I’m really excited that she’s doing this because she has very interesting concepts. The March issue will be “Odd Numbers” and there is a Call For Entries posted. She generously has opened this opportunity up to any artist (not just customers of her shop which has lotsa cool art thingies for sale) Here’s the scoop:
——————–
“The theme for issue two is “odd numbers” and should feature your art with some sort of odd number incorporated into it, whether it is the number 5 placed into the piece, 43 birds on a journal page, or a hinged 3-panel piece — use your imagination. Your piece can be created in any medium and creativity is encouraged.”

Doesn’t that sound cool? All the info to submit your work is there so I hope you will go for it. I’ve never been in a zine and it’s quite fun!!!
Anyway, I’m thinking you want to take a peek at that naughty mermaid and all the other cool art inside so I’ll make it easy on ya and put the link right here.
Congrats Alicia for a great first edition and I can’t wait to see the next one!
