Welcome to 'With Painted Words'
With Painted Words is a monthly, online literary magazine. It was founded in September 2009 and our first issue was released on October 31, 2009.
The way that With Painted Words works is slightly different from other magazines; every month a new image is chosen as a prompt and, for that month, all submissions must have used it as their inspiration – no matter how slight, vague or metaphorical it is there must be some form of link between the image and the work.
If you want to submit a story, poem or artwork, visit the submissions page for full guidelines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thanks to our lovely readers we were voted #14 in the 2009 and #10 in the 2010 Preditors and Editors Poll at Critters (http://www.critters.org).

Stained was submitted by Alvi Mann
Graphic Designer since 2005, Bachelor in Graphic Design since 2010. Photographer since 2010. I am very open minded about design and photography, searching for images, colors, forms and everything that could be used to represent something in a different and creative way. Create, innovate, impress are just some of the concepts I try to show in my work.

I like to travel the world and use my mind's eye to capture unique perspectives and scenes. I have a strong art background and appreciate the aesthetics of filling a frame with a unique realization about a specific place. Any of these pictures are for sale upon request. I can provide full resolution copies. I am also interested in selling the exclusive rights to any of these photographs.
