When your city gives you gorgeous murals, the best thing an artsy magazine can do is showcase them on our cover. This beauty, titled “Venus of the Springs,” was barely dry when Jeremy Rodgers (Yes! Jeremy of our November cover) gathered up his cameras and headed our way.
He captured Venus in all her beauty and even got some snaps of Thomas Nagin and Patrick Cunningham, building owner and mural artist, respectively.
Then, of course, we called in Richard Stephens to design the layout (at the 11th hour AGAIN) and he put it all together in record time. We did have to make one small adjustment to his layout – see the bottom line? Well, that news came to us just before press time so a quick revision was in order. We are extremely grateful to the Arkansas Arts Council for this honor.
But I digress. While all this other stuff was transpiring, Leslie Fisher put pen to paper to fill in the details of Venus’ creation. Please see page 19 for the details.
Another cover, another hair-graying adventure, folks! We decided all this is too much work so we’ll not put out another cover til next year. (There’s a free Stubby’s Loaded Potato to the first person to comment on that.) Til next time . . .Please share our online issue of The Springs at www.thespringsmagazine.com.
