All back Issues ArtRageUS Magazine

Bobbyray, I'll be sorry to see the mag go but can understand your feelings and position. I do hope that you know that I did appreciate your efforts on our behalf

So sorry to hear that all your hard work, effort and showcase magazine have come to a point where it is so poorly supported that you feel it is not possible to continue. I can totally empathise with your feeings about this.

Unfortunately I think the apparent apathy reflects a general drifting away from forums in favour of more social network based set ups. Maybe it's just a false impression, but I seem to have noticed diminishing participation in a number of forums I poke my big nose in over the last couple of years.

Do not think that your long hours have not been appreciated by those that have taken the time to take advantage of its fruits. Many thanks.

Hopefully the the more astute of the apathetic masses will fall foul of the maxim 'you don't notice something unitl it's gone'.

Hi Guys and Girls


March is here and so is ArtRageUS Magazine.. perhaps the last Issue. Read the post above this for details or in the mag "letter from the editor".

Dear BobbyRay,

the magazine has probably followed the doom of the Forum itself, where the new entries are not enough and enough continuously attending while several mates progressively either rarefied their presence and submission or just disappeared for the most various reasons.
As a matter of fact, also in the Gallery, where You could see also many people not intercepted in the Forum posting, the submission rate doesn't appear to grow, on the contrary.
I hope this is due mainly to the fact that ArtRage Software is increasingly appreciated by pros and people becoming pros, who can hardly participate and are often on other e-places, such as Deviantart or similar ones.
Therefore the adverse evolution is certainly not at all due to what You and Your mates did to roll the magazine out, with much sacrifice, improvements and with no at first and then very little resources.
You all performed fantastically and I wish to thank You all heartfeltly for this.
The magazine could and was not either an elitarian or a niche one, so as to make a broad service to all of us.
I don't think that a more focused approach would have been more successful as for lasting, neither that way, since it was not part of the gears of some sort of artistic trend and relevant business.
After all the average age in here was not so "green", so artists are mostly either amateur making other jobs in their lives (even if in several case at high or very qualitative level too as talent or outcome and potentially able to becoming pro) or pros, who have their own channels for selling their artworks.

Having said this, I would like to express to You all my utmost sincere gratitude, admiration and thanks for what You so marvellously set up to stay anyway, some way, sure in our memory and heart.

All the best to You all, champ team of ArtRageUS!

I second everything that Cesare has said and I am so sorry that there will be no magazine after this one. I have so enjoyed each and everyone of them and I was so honoured to be included as featured artist in one of them.
You have done and grand job throughout each and every issue, you and your team should be very very proud of yourselves.
I wish you all well in whatever you turn your hand to and hope that maybe someday another magazine will be born.
THANKS TO BOBBYRAY AND TEAM FOR FOR THE PLEASURE YOUR HAVE GIVEN THROUGHOUT THE 2 YEARS OF THIS MAGAZINE. I WISH YOU ALL HAPPINESS FOR THE FUTURE

Thank you Bobbyray and Team for all the hard work you have put in. The time and effort that must have gone into the production will not be forgotten. I will miss the magazine, I enjoyed reading the featured artist sections and seeing their work, the tutorials, everything. It was an honor when I was in one of the publications, Thank you.
All the best for the future in whatever you decide to do.
