THE SKY WING
news
The Sky Wing's first issue will be published in January 2025. Its theme is very important places, meaning anywhere that has importance to anyone. The art might be actual depictions of spaces, like the depiction of The Sky Wing itself, or it might be impressions or motifs or patterns based on a place, or it might be something else entirely. Either way, it'll highlight important places.
olds
The original idea for The Sky Wing emerged in November 2023, but it did not come to fruition until a year later in November 2024.

the
creator
grace (they/them) is a Carolinas based artist of all sorts but is mainly a painter. They started The Sky Wing for some cool sounding reasons including “to discover new art and artists” and “to build art communities,” but the main reason is because they thought it would be fun.
