Bristol Noir

We welcome submissions of artwork, photography and illustrations in line with our literary remit. Pieces that are curiously balanced between uplifting, challenging and dark aspects are all favourably considered.

Key genres:

1. Thought-provoking abstracts
2. Prospective book cover artwork and concepts
3. Painted feelings
4. Abstract expressionism
5. Landscapes in flux
6. Painted or photographed portraits with complex layers of emotion and interpretation

Please include a short bio and social media links with your submission.

Also, any background thinking on the piece you feel is relevant to viewers.

This is the information you'd want on a plaque below it if in a gallery.

We're looking for strangely uplifting pieces full of dark humour and thoughtful insights. We love dirty-real writing that is more Bukowski meets Withnail & I with an edge than Lock Stock or Requiem for a Dream.

We provide feedback on all submissions and where appropriate give suggestions on how to make it the best fit for us. If selected we will copy-edit, set out and produce feature bespoke artwork for your work. When publishing on our e-zine we will share across our social media audience.
