Welcome to www.wildlifeartjournal.com

The world is changing and so is the media landscape.  Now that we've found each other, allow us to offer you an introduction.

If you're expecting the same old tired dialog about "wildlife art", you won't find it here.

We launched Wildlife Art Journal because it was needed and many of you asked for it.

We have readers who visit us regularly from more than 80 different countries, subscribers who hail from every continent, and a rapidly expanding base of advertisers.

Our subscribers include artists, collectors, gallery owners, museum professionals and many people who simply have a profound love for the natural world and an interest in protecting it for future generations.

Art provides the perfect lens for thinking about our place in the 21st century. While we have a healthy reverence for art history and tradition, we're looking to the future, not the past.

We promise a forum, full of imagery, that will hold your interest, leave you entertained, validate your passion for wildlife, and give you visually more access to great nature art, assembled in one place, than you will find in any other magazine.

Occasionally, we may push you out of your comfort zone, but that's part of the adventure, isn't it?

We're putting a premium on art, writing and contemporary topics ranging from the art market to conservation.  And our focus is the world. 

Your first reasonable question is:  Why pay for content online?

If it isn't already apparent that while there's plenty of information floating around on the internet, our response to you is: How much of it is reliable? How much of it looks the same?  And how convenient is it to find when your time is short?

Like artwork, the best things are not free, and when you compare the volume of our content to what you receive from other magazines, we know the price is right. 

We offer plenty of free articles, whether you subscribe or not, but the real value comes from having full access.

When you subscribe for only $15 a year, you can read all stories and view every image in our rapidly expanding ARCHIVES. Your subscription also means that you'll  receive our forthcoming mongo print edition in 2010 to complement what you find here. It will be unsurpassed in content and international in both scope and distribution. Visually, it will have the look and feel of our sister publication, Western Art & Architecture.  But more on that later.

On its own, Wildlife Art Journal, the online version, is blazing a new trail all by itself.  Yes, it is a paperless, tree-friendly magazine.  However, the biggest advantage of Wildlife Art Journal is that you can read it from anywhere in the world simply by logging on and you don't have to track down a back issue to get every story. 

It doesn't matter if you are a subscriber in Tokyo or Trinidad, our Paypal credit card payment option is safe and reliable.

Subscribing is easy.  Wildlife Art Journal costs just a buck a month or around 65p a month in Britain or .73 Euros or 8.4 South African Rand (that's less than the cost of a daily cup of coffee or a tube of paint)! 

We know that time is your most valuable resource.

Finally, one more thing:  Unlike some of the other magazines out there, we don't run stories on artists and galleries only if they agree to buy ads from us.  We respect our readers too much and believe in coming at our advertising honestly.  No quid pro quos.  If you want to elevate the profile of your art, company, product or service onto a global stage with smart conscientious readers, our rates are reasonable.

Thanks for reading us and please tell your friends.  I look forward to meeting you and hearing more of your stories.
