Help Launch Method Press, A New Indie Art Magazine

Method Press is a new magazine celebrating low-fi thinkers, art and the method behind the art.

Founded this year by Katie King, and brought to life by her and talented team from the female Photographers of Etsy, Method Press became a reality.

Method press is an entirely volunteer-run operation.  The magazine features well known artists and lesser known artists and each issue has a unique theme that pulls the issue together.

To help get off the ground, Method Press has launched a Kickstarter Campaign and they need your help.

Donations can start as low as a dollar but if you assist more than that, they have some great deals for advertising, free issues and more.

Money raised will help allow Method press to 1) pay their writers, 2) send copies of the magazine to artists that are featured and 3) purchase better software.

You may wonder why you should help.  Why is Method Press important?  Method press is important because in this modern hi-fi, fast paced internet and smarphone centric world, it is crucial to keep in touch with the lower-fi way of being.  To keep recording art and culture as it happens, not just in the inter-webs but on print, in a beautiful bound magazine.

The mission statement sheds light on what the magazine means, just read it here:

Method Press is an art-filled idea magazine celebrating lo-fi thinkers. It is a consensus-based, not-for-profit, member run/owned, collectively managed magazine madly tracking down art as it moans to record its progress in history. We are not only interested in the making of art but in the art in the making.

Check out issue one and two here:

So visit the Launch Method Press Issue 04 Kickstarter and show your support.  Spread the word to others.  Tweet it, share on your Facebook page.

The Female Photographers of Etsy Are Holiday Ready

The Female Photographers of Etsy is a group of talented women photographers.  Ok, that's pretty straight forward.  It is one of the groups I participate in and they have done a wide range of projects from creating books on Blurb (just go there and search "fPOE") to sending a masks traveling from woman to woman to  be photographed, this diverse group is full of talent.

If you are looking for a great holiday gift this year or want to treat yourself, photography prints, especially the smaller sizes, are an amazing way to get some unique, original art pieces.

The team is hosting a group Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale where those shops who wish to participate offering various discounts ranging from 25% - 50% off, some have free shipping, and more.  Some may be store wide, others may require the code FPOE2011 so I suggest you follow the Female Photographers of Etsy's Blog as a list will be posted in the near future.

Here are a few all fPOE collections so you can see the beautiful work this group produces.  Some of these shops are participating in the sale while others might not be.  Check the fPOE blog, read shops welcome sections to make sure you are not missing any discounts.
