Rooting for Passion!
I love connecting with established and emerging visual artists as art editor for the HKWC‘s quirky lit mag! Issue 9 of The Apostrophe on the theme of ‘ROOTS‘ featured a cracking cover by Bethan Clark and stand-out artwork by Sai Pradhan and Ilos Ilyas Elias Kirkan, who has also been Mental Ideas‘ most prolific contributor in quite some time!
The theme for Issue 10 was PASSION. This one featured an exquisite cover by Ilos Ilyas Elias Kirkan and more delectable artwork by Jade Bryant (cover artist Issue 1), Anthony Roussell, Carl Scharwath, Susan Pollet, Tiziana Rasile and Ricky Sadiosa. If you’re passionate about art and would like to submit to our next issue (theme is ‘FLEX’), please reach out!

No More Excuses – Only Action!
Issue 6 of The Apostrophe on the theme of ‘Excuses’ just dropped on Substack! The perk of being art editor for the HKWC’s quirky lit mag is not needing an excuse to connect with and showcase the talents of inspiring established and emerging visual artists! This edition features an ingenious scrabble poem cover by artist Rachel P Smith!
The theme for Issue 7 is ‘Action’. No more excuses – GO for it!
