Illustrated Worlds

10/10/2025

Illustrated Worlds was a vendor this past weekend at Market for the Strange in Salem, Oregon. We met some lovely ghouls, chatted with a sweetly creepy clown, and exchanged information with a vampire - all in the ballroom of the historic Grand Theater.

Don't tell anyone, but at the end of the night, Brian and I sneaked down to the haunted basement for a quick peek. I'm looking forward to more autumn adventures.

A trio of small pen and ink illustrations done by artist J. Cox is in the spotlight. Her tiny drawings are paired with a heartfelt story of an aging dog and of course, zombies, by author Hall Jameson. The story is called "In a Dog's Age". Both author and artist are from the Pacific Northwest and can currently be found in the Autumn 2025 issue of the magazine.

The artist spotlight is on JD Robinson, a visual creator from right here in Oregon. He specializes in simple looking drawings done with a single line - no lifting the pen or stopping and starting. It's actually fairly difficult to achieve, but Robinson has done hundreds of these line drawings, creating expressive images with great economy.

His drawing appears with a story by author Max Rauhman called "Tuesday Evenings". What if your greatest enemy is yourself and the lines between reality and hallucination merge?

Illustrated Worlds will be vending at this market in the beginning of October. The Grand Theatre is a great venue, and the market will begin after a showing of the cult classic film "Night of the Living Dead". Zombies and dark shopping opportunities will abound. Don't miss it!

Today's artist spotlight is on Kate Salvi and her image "Melancholy". She hails from Rhode Island in the Northeast United States, and we're pleased she's made her debut here at Illustrated Worlds.

Her work is paired with a fairytale filled with unwilling brides called "The Painted Platform" by author Liam Hogan. Liam is a speculative fiction writer from the UK.

We're glad to have both featured in the Autumn 2025 issue of the magazine. Order a digital or print copy at www.Illustratedworldsmagazine.com
