Artist-in-Residence Application

Radon is looking for a digital artist to join us as our next Artist-in-Residence beginning late 2025.

Please see our previous covers here for the type of art styles we are looking for. We typically look for digital-native paintings that are primarily science fiction in theme and cyberpunk in aesthetic. We look for high-quality art that evokes emotion and social commentary simultaneously. 

Our artist-in-residence works with our editorial and production teams through an entire calendar year and is guaranteed payment for at least $500 worth of art. We have three issues a year and pay $100/cover art, $50/back cover, and $20/website art.

We are looking for a mix of previously available work from an artist and a willingness to work with our team to create commissioned work later in the year.

All submissions in your application should showcase digital art that is at least 300 DPI.

Please do not send us photographs or physical paper/canvas art.

We are not interested in publishing abstract art, pop art, or mixed media.

Due to ethical and rights concerns, we cannot accept AI-generated artwork.

Our cover art is oriented vertically and sized 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

Artists retain full copyright to their work.
