Frequently Asked Questions
This page gathers the questions readers most often send us about making art alongside AI tools, from material choices to crediting practices. We answer in the same plain, process-first way we write everything else.
Still have questions?
We read and answer every question ourselves, usually within a few working days, by email.
who writes the articles on this site
Our essays are written by a small group of named writers with backgrounds in art writing, archive research and reporting. Every byline links to the writer's own page so you can see what else they've published.
how is this magazine funded
We're funded by reader subscriptions and small reader donations, not advertising or sponsored placements. That means a piece runs because an editor backs it, not because a brand paid for the slot.
how do I suggest a topic to cover
You can send a topic through the contact page, including the field where you tell us what you'd like us to cover. Editors read every suggestion and some go straight onto the next month's list.
how often are new essays published
We send one new essay out by email each week, usually on the same day. Older pieces stay free to read in the archive.
can I get new essays by email
Yes, you can sign up on the homepage and a new essay lands in your inbox once a week as a plain email. There's no app and no login required.
how do you correct a mistake in an article
If a reader flags an error, an editor checks it against the original source notes within 30 days. Once confirmed, we fix the piece and add a short public note explaining what changed.
