Editors NoteHi all, and welcome to the first issue of “The Irregular”. This magazine isthe brainchild of Alex Garbett and I. We’re both of members of the Shef-field Irregulars, a mini painting group. This idea came from a session of ranting - er, I mean constructive critique - about magazines currently onthe market. Moaning about how magazines of old, cue nostalgic music,were (in our humble opinion) much better , filled to the brim with usablehobby content and not just a glorified catalogue like most seem to bethese days. One of us said, “Why don’t we make our own?” The Irregularwas born, and word was put out that we were on the lookout for con-tributors and talented artists. The aim of the magazine is to provide hobbyists with articles and tutori-als on subjects relating to painting and gaming. So, thanks to all thosewho contributed to the magazine, and an extra special thanks toMatthew Mellafor the outstanding front cover.Our aim is to produce 4 issues a year. We are accepting submissions fromnon group members, though as this is a free magazine there are no pay-ments. So if you are looking to break into writing or illustration for thegaming world, then this could be an opportunity for you to build up aportfolio of work.Anyway this issue will contain some gaming articles, though most will berelated to painting. We also have some show reviews, news, tutorials andinformative articles.At the back of the magazine are some guidelines if you are interested insubmitting articles to us, along with an email address for this purpose.It also seems that this month I’m appearing in another magazine (WhiteDwarf), along with Alex and another Irregular Aaron, having a chat witha rather well known artist – the picture has already been spotted bysome eagle eyed Irregulars.We are still looking for contributors for future issues,guidelines are in theback of this issue.The closing date for issue 2 submissions is August 29th.Jason HubbardIssue 1 Summer 2009Irregular MagazineEditorsJason HubbardNick JohnsonLayoutJason HubbardProof ReaderNick JohnsonGraphic DesignRebecca HubbardCover IllustrationMatthew Mella
