Our New Editor: John Egan
Boyan - When I look back, Crimson Kaie has actually been around a lot less than it feels like it has! I take that to be a good thing because it has been a pleasure featuring the over 175 artists we have featured thus far. Now Crimson Kaie draws a regular audience from around the world and it’s great to see a place where emerging and unknown artists in all media can have a chance to show off their talents.
I’ve wanted to dedicate more time to the project but my life is hectic to say the least and so for some time I had been toying with the idea to find some outside talent to take on an editorial position on the site.
Of course, it’s one thing to have an idea and a totally different thing to realise it.
So a few weeks ago I thought I would try an alternative approach and posted a note of the Facebook Marketplace announcing we were looking for an editor. There were actually five contacts as a result which was a surprise in itself. But skeptical of the quality of those responses I was more surprised to see that John seemed to fit the bill for what I was looking for dead on.
Now, with two great posts under his belt I wanted to just use this note as an opportunity to confirm his position as the editor of Crimson Kaie. I really hope we can work together to develop the site and what it continues to do best: show great new art by some fantastic people in often weird and wonderful places.
