The Art Of Lian Zhen
Shifra Stein'Painting for me is a spiritual process. I enjoy watching color flow from one corner of the painting to the other. One by one, each stroke reveals the next, connecting heart to arm, to hand, to fingers, and then onto the paper.' -Lian Zhen

Freelance Artist Available
by Steve Cartwright
It's well known that an artist becomes more popular by dying, so I'm typing this with one hand while pummeling my head with a frozen mackerel with the other. I have been staff writer and artist for two local newspapers, the Atlanta Suburban Reporter and the Fulton County News-Daily.
I do art and graphic design in Adobe Photoshop, please view some at my website. The other mediums I use are: charcoal ( messy, but strongly sets a mood, usually brooding ); colored pencils ( love the way the colors blend ); colored pens; and pen-and-ink. The subjects I draw are eclectic, everything from pristine rural scenes to unsettling surrealism.
I'm a staff member of Skyline magazine in New York. My art has been published in magazines such as Georgia Journal; Potpourri; Georgia State Review; the Clay Tablet; Poets, Artists & Madmen; New Writer's; Talebones; Indigenous Fiction; Liquid Ohio; Contraband; In the Spirit of the Buffalo; Starblade; Medicinal Purposes; Skylark; The MacGuffin; RescueCats; Good Dog; Fantasy, Folklore & Fairytales; Clark Atlanta University; Country Folk; The Legions of Light Magazine; Tropical Fish Hobbyist; Urban Spaghetti; Heist; Spellbound; Atlanta Buckhead; Appalachian Heritage; Iconoclast; Outer Darkness; Skyline; and others.
My art work has also appeared in Seeing Through Symbols, a literary anthology published by Chrysalis Books. I've been a contributing artist for Creative Loafing, an Atlanta weekly with a circulation of 300, 000; and Shroder Publishing's three monthlies in Atlanta, with a combined circulation of 28,000. I do art for the Red Cross in Atlanta, Meals On Wheels, and the City of Atlanta. Part of these assignments is to ( usually quickly ) illustrate a short story or article.
My art has also appeared on several commercial websites such as Wee Ones and Ron's Marbles & Things. I did computer animation for the Matrix board at the Atlanta Stadium, depicting the Braves and the Falcons.
Please hurry with your response -- this mackerel's killin' me!
