With the lifting of restrictions across the world we’re very excited to announce that ImagineFX magazine is back on the newsstand! And what an issue to return with, because we are taking a look at how to be a happy artist. We speak with a group of professional artists who explain how they find happiness and wellbeing in their work. It’s an uplifting read. 

Elsewhere in the magazine we celebrate the artists who not only inspire but also actively add positively to their work. We’re sure you’ll agree that our cover artist Ejiwa ‘Edge’ Ebenebe fits the bill with her gorgeous and colourful painting. Isn’t it amazing?
