Back when I first heard about Pixish<\/a> — “a place where people who want images and people who make images can easily find each other and collaborate on creative projects together” — I set up an account and posted an assignment. I’ve been very lucky to feature some great artists over the past four issues of Kaleidotrope<\/i><\/a> — from the covers by Remi Treuer<\/a> and Jim Cleaveland<\/a>, to interior artwork by a long list of talented people — but I’m always on the lookout for work that I think will complement the stories and poems in each issue.<\/p>\n

Still, I posted my assignment pretty much as a lark. So much of a lark that I promptly forgot all about it. I certainly wasn’t expecting anyone to take it seriously<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And yet I find, upon visiting the website again<\/a>, that there are now close to 50 submissions. If you’d like, I think you can go in and vote on them — although I’m not sure how much, if at all, that will play into my decision-making. Some of the submissions are very good, although obviously even some of those will not work well with the realities of Kaleidotrope<\/i>‘s printing (black and white, photocopied). I’m going to need to take a closer look at all of them.<\/p>\n

Officially, the assignment closes on August 1, but I think I may try posting another one as soon as that’s done.<\/p>\n

This time, I just need to remember it.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
