I precisely wanted to thank you so much yet again. I’m not certain the things that I might have gone through without these advice revealed by you on such field. Certainly was the intimidating matter for me, but taking a look at your well-written technique you treated that made me to jump with fulfillment. I am happier for this information and then have high hopes you find out what an amazing job that you’re putting in training people with the aid of a site. I am certain you’ve never come across any of us.

Laney Hicks was on the cover a couple of issues ago. So that makes……one. Sigh.

I ran a small ad in the classified area for over a year. I suggested to Paul that I was getting kind of lonely back there all by myself but, at $100 an issue, I thought that they could get a fair number of artists to sign on and then they could create that as its own section. He got back to me saying there was concern that if they did that, then the artists might not buy the bigger display ads. I countered that they would get artists who otherwise they wouldn’t get at all. And that maybe they would trade up over time.

So i guess they did decide to do it, although he never sent me the info on it like I’d asked so I could pass the word that one could have a small color display ad for $100/issue, buy 6, 7th one free. The last few issues there were two other artists. I think they could have filled most of a column. Kind of exasperating, but it looks like the problems went pretty deep and they had other concerns.

I had a collector sit down with me to chat about my work at the OPA artist’s registration get-together because she saw my ad. Wouldn’t you know it. Drat.

Judging from this discussion, the magazine may actually have received quite a lot of input (and fairly consistent input at that, i.e. loss of focus), yet they were unwilling to change course.

I disliked the “People style” covers and also noticed that, for the final year that I subscribed, no women were featured on the cover.

I can’t comment on the magazine, but regarding

male artists who paint every hair

I will say that some of us only paint every other hair … and the hardest part is deciding which ones are the other ones (sometimes i just flip a coin)

Fascinating reads from everyone! Some completely narrow-minded (ie, only my) perspective:
- The quality of art covered was generally ho-hum, at best, with an emphasis on hair-and-feather (ecch) rendering
- The article layouts were kind of odd - I didn’t like the editorial design, thought it unattractive
- The issue that noted Bob Kuhn’s passing should have been wholly devoted to him - “special collector’s issue”, or something like that.
Paul Montag called me occasionally to advertise; I had tried it some years ago, with zero results, and being the ex-corporate hard-ass that I am, “ROI” is one of those things I consider when advertising.

I had an email exchange with some editorial staff about a year ago regarding their almost complete lack of coverage of women artists - at that point in time, there had been exactly ZERO on the cover over the prior years since Hansen took over. They were sincere and engaged in the conversation, which was nice.

Seems like there’s still room for a true wildlife art magazine - maybe a quarterly, with a diversity of styles and techniques covered (not just male artists who paint every hair), perhaps tied in with the adventure stories that go along with being an animal artist…just noodling…
