The Call for Entries for Spectrum 24 is now open!
Spectrum 24 Call for Entries Poster art by Justin Gerard.
I am happy to share that the Spectrum 24 Call for Entries is now open! Here is the official press release.
This is an invitation to all professional and student artists, art directors, publishers and artists' representatives to submit entries to the 24th Annual Spectrum International Competition for Fantastic Art. All artworks in all media embracing the themes of science fiction, fantasy, horror and the surreal are eligible for this show. Fantastic art can be subtle or obvious, traditional or off-the-wall, painted, sculpted, done digitally or photographed: There is no unacceptable way to create art, and there are no set rules that say one piece qualifies while another does not. Imagination and skill are what matters. Work chosen by the jury will be printed in full color in the Spectrum annual, the peer-selected "best of the year" collection for the fantastic arts. Click here to submit.
The Spectrum 24 Call for Entries poster art is by the revered fantasy illustrator and educator, Justin Gerard. This poster mails for free in the U.S.A to our Spectrum mailing list. If you would like to receive a poster you can fill out the online form here.
The Spectrum 24 jury is comprised of a five member panel of some of the most exceptional artists working in the industry today consisting of Christian Alzmann, Laurie Lee Brom, Mark Newman, John Picacio and Victo Ngai.
"I'm absolutely thrilled with the jury we have brought together for Spectrum 24," shares Spectrum director, John Fleskes. "I invited this quintet based on their outstanding work in the field. Furthermore, each has a shared passion for digital and traditional methods and they are well-versed on a wide range of contemporary fantastic art. Also of importance is that they all give back to the community through sharing online, teaching or in other ways. These five are extraordinary people in the industry who will do a superb job making the selections for inclusion into Spectrum 24."
The Spectrum 24 jury has a deep passion for the annual, which is reflected by their praise of its community and contents.
"In 1995, while deciding whether or not to go to art school, I purchased my first Spectrum," expresses Christian Alzmann. "It was Spectrum 2 and Frank Frazetta was Grand Master. I have bought every edition since because I am always equally inspired and humbled by what's on its pages."
"Spectrum and the Spectrum community have had such a huge influence on me and on the creative direction of my art," confesses Laurie Lee Brom. "I cannot wait to feast my eyes on the entries for Spectrum 24, and am ecstatic to be on the jury!"
"I'm truly honored to be chosen as one of the jurors on this year's Spectrum publication," says Mark Newman. "The first time I submitted work was way back in book 3 and ever since I've been a big fan and thrilled to be included in quite a few issues. Spectrum represents the best of contemporary fantastical art and I feel blessed to be given the chance to contribute in this way as a juror. Thank you John and a Big High Five for keeping this wonderful tradition alive."
"Spectrum represents such a rich visual history and standard of excellence for what we collectively dream in the fantastic art field," states John Picacio. "I've always been grateful any time my work was selected for inclusion in the annual, and it's a profound honor and responsibility to give back to the book this year as a juror."
"Spectrum is one of the few illustration competitions I enter religiously every year since I graduated college," offers Victo Ngai. "From getting in the first time, to my first medal, to creating the call for entry poster, Spectrum has been a goal, a running-mate and milestones in my career. This year, I am very humbled and grateful to have the opportunity to serve on the jury for the first time, can't wait to see the brutal behind-the-scenes of this prestigious and highly selective competition."
For over twenty-three years the Spectrum annual has been a showcase for the best and brightest creators of fantastic art from around the globe: it serves as an invaluable resource book for art directors, art buyers, publishers and agents world-wide. Hundreds of copies are sent out gratis with the intent of generating additional work and exposure for the artists selected for inclusion in the annual. The circulation of Spectrum far exceeds those of other annuals and resource books; we deliberately maintain a price that makes it affordable for every budget. Our purpose and singular agenda is the promotion of the art and artists. We believe that Spectrum functions as a cost-efficient promotional forum and provides a bridge between creator, client, and aficionado as well. Spectrum is all about facilitating opportunities for creators, about growing the audience for imaginative work in all its forms, without pretension and without prejudice.
The largest of this field's competitions is also the toughest to make; the act of entering art does not guarantee inclusion in the book. Not everyone gets in. The "excellence bar" is raised every year: the job of the jury to make selections gets increasingly difficult. Not being selected is not a personal criticism of the artist, but having your work chosen by the judges is of significance. Join with us to help celebrate twenty-three years by making this volume the best yet: considering the excellence of the work in the previous twenty-three books, it will be no small task, but we're confident you all can do it.

The project involved the demolition of an existing dwelling, on the edge of the village of Stoke Fleming, and construction of a new family house that took full advantage of the cliff top location and stunning sea views. The house was designed, through positioning and window arrangement, to hide the views when entering the site.
A visitor then goes through the front door and the view is suddenly opened up through a double-height glazed atrium. The use of balconies and a cantilevered terrace on the sea-side elevation takes full advantage of the location. Bedroom accommodation is on the first floor, including a master suite with balcony, dressing area, en-suite and study (with its own private terrace). A smaller, more cosy lounge, with open fireplace, provides a snug alternative to the more open kitchen / family room.
The garden was completely re-landscaped, to the designs of a landscape architect. The existing external pool, at the bottom of the garden, was also rebuilt with new pool house constructed. BBH oversaw the contract and brought together a team of consultants and sub-contractors including lighting designers, home automation suppliers and pool installers.
Much work was done at a planning stage to ensure that the design would be acceptable to the planning departments and local residents. A consultation process was carried out with neighbours and the planning officer. The use of traditional materials, such as timber cladding, slate, natural stone (reclaimed during the demolition of the existing building) and render was counterpointed with zinc roofing and cladding details.

Myanmar: UN expert expresses alarm at escalating conflict, calls for civilian protection
Heavy fighting between army and ethnic group in Rakhine, Chin States
At least 5,000 civilians displaced from homes
Humanitarian aid blocked by Govt, must be allowed to resume
GENEVA (18 January 2019) – The UN's human rights expert on Myanmar expressed alarm at the escalating violence in northern and central Rakhine State and Chin State, and called on all sides to exercise restraints in use of force and to ensure the protection of civilians.
Since November 2018 the Myanmar military, known as the Tatmadaw, and Arakan Army (AA), an ethnic armed organisation, have been engaged in heavy fighting, resulting in deaths and injuries to civilians. At least 5,000 people have been displaced from their homes.
"Both sides must take precautions and ensure the protection of civilians," said Yanghee Lee, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar.
She condemned an attack by the AA on the four Border Guard Police posts on 4 January 2019, and expressed concern at the Tatmadaw's disproportionate response to the attack. "It is unacceptable for the Tatmadaw and the Arakan Army to conduct hostilities in a manner that impact civilians," Lee said.
Following the 4 January AA attack, the Tatmadaw deployed a large number of troops to the region. Reports say heavy weapons and artillery, as well as helicopters, have been used in civilian areas, leading to civilian deaths and injuries.
"What is happening in Rakhine reminds me of the tactics used by the Tatmadaw against ethnic populations for decades," the Special Rapporteur said. "All the people of Rakhine State, including the Rakhine, Mro, Daignet, Hindu and Rohingya, have suffered enough."
BLOCKING AID IS ILLEGAL
On 10 January, the Rakhine State government sent a letter to the UN and international humanitarian agencies instructing them all, with the exception of the World Food Program and the International Committee of the Red Cross, to suspend their activities in the five townships in northern Rakhine that are affected by the conflict, Ponnagyun, Kyauktaw, Rathedaung, Buthidaung and Maungdaw.
"It is vital that assistance is able to reach those who have fled violence, and the Government must immediately reverse its decision not to allow access to all humanitarian organisations," Lee said. "I remind the Government and the Tatmadaw that blocking humanitarian access is a serious violation of international humanitarian law."
She said that even before the Government's recent order, access to the region for humanitarian organisations was limited, and even less so for media and independent monitors. "I call on the Government to allow full and unfettered access to the region to allow a free flow of information in the interest of the public," Lee said.
"I am also seriously concerned about the dangerous rhetoric being used by the Government. The ethnic Rakhine population must not be demonized and targeted by the military on suspicion of association with the AA. Equally, this conflict must not be used by the Tatmadaw as a means to further its ongoing campaign of violence against the Rohingya population remaining in Rakhine state."
So far, 15 people have been arrested, apparently on suspicion of links to the AA, including seven young people who were detained for bringing supplies to displaced people at a monastery. Reports say two of the 15 people remain in detention, including a village administrator, and that they have been charged under the Unlawful Associations Act.
"This conflict risks exacerbating divisions among communities in an already fractured state, further complicating the complex situation that exists in the country," the Special Rapporteur said. "The Government should prioritise the safety and well-being of all the people of Rakhine State and work towards peace around Myanmar."
Yanghee Lee (Republic of Korea) was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2014 as the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar. She is independent from any government or organization and serves in her individual capacity. Ms. Lee served as member and chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (2003-2011). She is currently a professor at Sungkyunwan University, Seoul, and serves on the Advisory Committee of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea. Ms. Lee is the founding President of International Child Rights Center.
The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council's independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms. Special Procedures mandate-holders are independent human rights experts appointed by the Human Rights Council to address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. They are not UN staff and are independent from any government or organization. They serve in their individual capacity and do not receive a salary for their work.
