HELPING ARTISTS – bkkunzine.com art magazine

On the occasion of the third year anniversary of our independent art magazine “bkk UNZINE” we wanted to remind people about our main goal.  

I’m sure you’ve heard this before: 

My passion is THIS but I cannot afford to do that full time so I’m doing THAT to pay the bills. 

We’ve heard this and we will be hearing this for many years to come. 

So many Artists and people who want to have at least a chance at trying to be an artist need help. 

Our long term goal is to become known to art lovers and artists as an organization that pays artists who get featured in our magazine. 

We don’t have money now, but money complicates things anyway. We have proven that we can function on a monthly basis without money to show that when we WILL have money we won’t depend on that as a resource, it’ll be an extra. 

But now we can still be of service, by promoting artwork (our online issues on the website and instagram), by promoting artists through interviews (in our youtube channel), our issues are monthly online art galleries or monthly art jamming sessions where we can get together and exchange ideas to promote each other, discuss (our meetup events).

We encourage people to draw. We want one day to share studio space where people will have the basic tools and environment they need to practice and try creating what they want.  

Our resources can’t be only money, because then that’ll mean we will do projects, events only when we have money and not be active when we don’t. Instead our capital should be Artists and Art lovers.

If this is the first time you are hearing about our art magazine please go check out our website www.bkkunzine.com and look for our instagram and youtube channel by searching for “bkk unzine” and please support us by subscribing to our mailing and you’ll receive the free issues every 1st of the month. 

If you have any questions or suggestions please contact us at: bkkunzine@gmail.com 

Thank you and LONG LIVE ART!

Doing your own thing

What I would love to do is help Artists. I have a feeling that I may be able to do it, because it is something personal. I am helping myself by helping other Artists and since it’s selfish I am really invested in it.

I dream of making Comics writing and drawing and the art magazine I founded with my friends into my main job. With my friends who are kind enough to help me run our online art magazine www.bkkunzine.com, I am sure we’ll get there it’s not far.

We are growing this art magazine into a platform that helps artists. I know “help” is too vague but let give one example of how we do that. We function as a collective, so we organize art events to promote each other. More on our art magazine later but please go check out what we do on our website bkkunzine.com and consider subscribing to get the free digital copy every 1st of the month in your inbox.
