Art Columnist, Martin Plant


Dear Editor,

If you are looking for an art column then you might want to consider my services.

Dear Editor,

I am an artist and writer. I can supply you with illustrations and commentaries for your publication. These could be as an art column and run on a regular basis. It would be like an artist talking to your readers. This column would let readers know about the art world, or what goes on inside an artist's head, how I get ideas, how I work up a picture, or about the problems of being an  artist. It would reveal what the public doesn't know about artists yet would want to know what it's like being an artist.

My column would be as if I was inviting the reader into my studio. The reader would see how I work, see what kind of picture ideas attract me and which ones don't.

This could be as  a weekly column for your publication. The column could run Saturday or Sunday, when people have the time for reading entertainment and information  pieces on those days.

My illustrations could be, for example, black and white drawings, in pencil or ink. This by the way would cost your publication much less than to run illustrations in full color. On the other hand, if you want my artworks to be in color then I could do that as well. A further choice would be that my artworks  could be  a mix. Some days the artworks would  be in black and white, other times in color, or even just one color. Also, when I do a work, such as in black and white, I will explain ("I made this picture in pencil because...) why I did so.

I feel certain that many of your readers would be interested in such a column. I've been told that people think of an artist and his studio as a person going into a magical place to produce these things called artworks. Many times I feel the same way. I'm often amazed at what I produce and how it unexpectedly comes out differently from my original intention.

This art column will appeal to artists and non artists as well. Lets the readers in on the secrets of the art world, of being an artist, and the new ideas artists bring to the world.

If you don't need an art column then I could be a freelancer and supply your publication with illustrations for articles, book covers, etc.
