call for submissions: Baby Blue: Sing to the Mystery A zine about the mad artist mythology The archetype of artists who struggle with mental illness perpetuates the belief that suffering is synonymous with creativity. When people dealing with mental health commit suicide they are often romanticized and venerated instead of highlighting the lack of resources and support systems. Often these stereotypes about the mad artist objectify what is an intense struggle. While the connections between struggles with mental health and creativity are valid and worthy of investigation, it’s important to simultaneously debunk the myths surrounding these experiences. We hope to explore these ideas by encouraging artists who identify with mental health struggles to contribute by inviting them to share their thoughts or experiences. All forms of submissions are welcome for the 2-Dimensional realm be it articles/essays, interviews, poetry, short stories, illustration, collage, photography, ect… Please try and keep written submissions under 1000 words. Send your submissions to: singtothemystery@gmail Deadline: November 15th 2013
