COLOR! COLOR! COLOR!

That's right - COLOR!! It's true - the next printing of the IAAA annual magazine PARALLAX will be in COLOR!!!! Reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, and yes - even oranges! A veritable rainbow of art. (Somewhere over the rainbow, there's a moon in the sky...) Just who will paint these incredible visions of multi-angstrom delight? Why, YOU of course! And what will you paint? Whatever astronomical view that strikes your fancy! This PARALLAX will be used as a "who we are" booklet presented to folks interested in the IAAA, as well as one issue per member. We want to put our BEST foot forward, to that end, we're having a little contest! This is a COLOR issue folks, so get colorful! (Follow the yellow paint road... Follow the yellow paint road...)

The premise of the issue is to showcase five or six paintings on the inside and outside covers with explanations by the artist on the techniques and methods used to paint the picture on the inside pages. Remember, we are the IAAA - one of those A's is for "Astronomical" and your subject matter should reflect that. What we're looking for are well done astronomical pictures with excellent application of color. Simple, right? :)

The issue will go to print the end of September and should be mailed out the beginning of October. All art forms are welcome, traditional and digital. Previous paintings are as welcome as new work. You can either snail-mail photographs (sorry, no slides, don't have the capability to transfer) to me at "Jon Ramer, 5007 Rhine Way, Dayton, OH, 45458, USA" or e-mail your submission (JPEG format please) to me at "ramerj@worldnet.att.net".

Due date for submissions is 15 September 1998.

COLOR - it's what everybody wants.... So let's see some! (Look Toto! It's the Emerald City!)
