Traditionally, angels have wings, demons have horns. Sometimes what looks like an angel is a demon, and a demon may be an angel. Other times, it is impossible to estimate what is actually a demon or an angel. For this issue, we looked for work that blurs the line between angel and demon and that plays with people's perception of good and evil. We asked for the artist's take, interpretation, and mythology on angels and demons expressed visually in any 2-d medium.

As part of our effort to include all viewers and artists in our magazine, Naming Ceremony Gallery has actively decided to curate art that children can appreciate as well. We accepted art that invites a young child's imagination to expand the narrative beyond what they see in the picture, to get them thinking about what the meanings are "between the lines" and allow them to grow from the experience.

The November issue is an open issue that allows artists the freedom to choose from their repertoire the work they want to display. The resulting collection of works is curiously diverse and youthful in expression. To open the issue further, from now on Naming Ceremony is has decided to include poetry, a literary analogue to art. We feel the more forms of art we accept the more we celebrate art and creativity. We hope we were able to capture the spirit of freedom in this issue with the work and poetry we've curated. We also hope to not only inspire other artists, but to create a dialogue between Naming Ceremony, the artists, and our audience.
