Calling all artists

I'll never get tired of saying what an amazing magazine Dazed and Confused is. I grew up like most of us: fascinated by Vogue America. In my case it was when the lovely Karolina Kurkova had just been discovered. But by the time her picture appeared in each and every single page of the magazine, I made three discoveries that changed for ever my view on fashion. And thank God. I mean, Vogue America can be tons of fun with Meisel's shoots, all those waspy articles about people who live in Park Avenue and all the (in my opinion slightly loony) beauty advice (from Atkins to the sea water diet, from Botox to concentrated vitamin C shots). But Vogue America is hardly innovative, arty or young. So when I first saw the cover of I-D magazine in a drugstore in Madrid (I must have been about 15) the word "fashion" started to mean something completely different for me. Afterwards came The Face and Dazed. Sadly, The Face doesn't exist anymore. But Dazed and I-D do and I've been buying every issue for almost 10 years.
Now we are at the turn of the decade and Dazed is celebrating it in a special way. They are looking for illustrators to draw some of the best Dazed covers of the past 10 years. It's very simple, all you have to do is choose one of these covers, use your imagination and... submit your work! (for more details see here). And the chosen winner will be commissioned for a piece of work to appear in a future issue of Dazed. An artist's dream, isn't it? I might even try it myself, except more than a year ago I decided to swap the brushes for the fountain pen. And I bet there's lots of you out there who would do it way better. So...why not try? You never know what might happen and anyway your illustration will appear in DazedDigital, which means so many people will see it it will be like an actual exhibition!
