ROSWELL'S FIRST FANZINE!
ROSMARIE TRIBUZI was born in Todlau, Czechoslovakia, and has been painting with oils and watercolors for over thirty years. When her daughter, Bella Richards, became involved in the Roswell fandom and then the publication of LATE FOR THE SKY, it was just natural to ask Rosmarie to contribute the cover art for the premiere issue. She graciously agreed to create a watercolor styled after the Jackson Browne album cover for Late for the Sky, while evoking several key Roswell themes. What could be more appropriate than a true Czechoslovakian providing the banner under which all the Roswell fanzine contributors gather their favorite Czechoslovokian fan fics, fan art, and poetry? We think you'll be pleased with her labor of love. (Thanks mom! ~Love Bella)
DAWNIE VAUGHAN maintains the Fan Art and Computer Art galleries at The Crashdown, which can be found at www.crashdown.com/images/fanimages.shtml and www.crashdown.com/images/computerart.shtml. Dawnie is a Dreamgirl whose favorite subjects to sketch are, of course, Max and Liz (who else?) but also enjoys sketching Michael since she helps maintain Brendan Fehr's authorized website at www.brendan-fehr.com. Dawnie will be providing the gorgeous illustrations for Ashley Lane's Colorblind, and Irene Shafer's Late for the Sky. Dawnie's portraits can be seen on the Fan Art pages of both websites.
KATHRYN BOGNAR, better known as Cotti, is not only contributing fan fiction to the fanzine, but is illustrating one of her own fics, The Night Will Never Stay. Her fan fiction and fan art can be found at her site, Fallen Angels, at http://www.geocities.com/cotti_zebra_fic
CONNIE SHOEMAKER is the newest artist to join our fanzine crew. With no formal art training, she used to occasionally draw animals, friends and family for fun. Then she put her pencil down for fifteen years. It wasn't until she saw Roswell (and particularly Jason Behr) that she was inspired to draw the cast. Bella met Connie at the Fan Forum Crashdown Party in LA in August, 2000, and saw the incredible portraits Connie had brought to show the cast. Bella begged her to join the fanzine crew, and Connie graciously agreed, illustrating Fehrkitten's Sanctuary, and Elizabeth's The Long Walk Into His Arms. Connie's cast portraits can be seen at www.crashdown.com/images/fanimages.shtml.
ALMASSY, whose stunning and poetic image collages display a talent beyond her 17 years, began studying fine arts at the tender age of five. While her preferred style is a surrealism-realism, the majority of her more recent digital creations are from "The X-Files" and "Roswell." Look closely and you will see image layered upon image, all elements blended seamlessly. Her collages are intricate and sometimes highly conceptual, but always visually stunning. Almassy's work can be found at www.geocities.com/highfusion/rswlwllppr.html
