Welcome back to Potassium Magazine!
This is issue number 9 but the first issue of our come back and the start to our 2025 year. 
For anyone that maybe new to Potassium, let me introduce myself. 
I am Jessica Jinx, lead editor. 
Photographic artist, sculptor, and prop fabricator. Did two years of schooling for special effects makeup, while 
learning set design. Mostly known for my UFO overlays and weird little sculptures. Was raised in a darkroom, so you could say my life has been spent in one area of art or another. With all that being said, my life in art is why Potassium was started. Potassium was just an experiment. An idea started after a round table talk and a few beers with fellow artist. Wanted to give artist of all mediums a place to showcase their work. Too many rules are added to art these days. 
You get shit for using your iphone to do anything from editing to just taking pictures. Get judgment for over editing, tonal, or point of view. It's ridiculous to think that in this day and age, so much judgment goes into art. That is just with photography. Don't get me started on the rules set around painting or illustration. 
So this should be everyones home to showcase their work without rules. I want everyone to know that all mediums are welcome to Potassium. If you can send me a portfolio of your work, I will gladly show it. 
That is really in short what we are all about. My goal for this year is keep the writing down to a minimum and just focus on the gallery of work. We have new ideas for this year and if you make it to the back of the magazine you'll see the future of Potassium. 
Of course, keep up with us on Instagram. 
Enjoy this issue and see you all for issue 10!
