Evoke XXII: Age and v5!
by Ted Yavuzkurt [Revenant Prime]
Welcome back to Evoke!
It’s been far too long, but it’s been worth it. One full year in the making, commemorating our five year anniversary, AGE is our most massive release yet! With nearly one hundred of our most drop dead gorgeous submissions to date, Age truly represents a new era in Evoke’s history.
We had to make some tough calls along the way. With the v5 site stuck in development hell and concerns over stagnation in the group running rampant, we decided that if we were going to innovate and truly rise back up from the ashes, back onto the forefront of online art, we were going to have to take the time to do it right.
And we did.
A brand new, beautiful website powered on a completely new engine written with CakePHP is a standing testament to this fact. Coupled with a custom set of collaboration tools for Evoke members on the backend designed to push our next releases beyond anything you’ve ever...

And we did.
A brand new, beautiful website powered on a completely new engine written with CakePHP is a standing testament to this fact. Coupled with a custom set of collaboration tools for Evoke members on the backend designed to push our next releases beyond anything you’ve ever seen, this is our refutation to those speculating about our collective. No we’re not gone, we’re very far from it.
I would personally like to thank Ben White (Arklo), Toby Peterson (sum-1), and Matt Dobson (sugarstack) for their invaluable help and assistance in making this new release possible – I could not have coded this website by myself. And a big thank you to all the admins, members, contributors, and supporters who have been with us over the years. Making an online art collective, founded by a few teenagers, last for five years is no trivial task.
And with this release, we’re showing you why we’ll be here for five more.
With that, go on in and enjoy this release. Read some of the interviews! They’ve all been reformatted to make the experience more engaging and dynamic. Download some wallpapers, fill out an app if you so choose, have a blast! Big props to Aaron Campbell aka Ecstatic for earning the featured artist position on such a colossally important release!
Pardon the cliché, but the new age truly is just beginning!
Thanks for your support,
Ted Yavuzkurt, Evoke-founder/Site-Director

Evoke XXI: "Spectrum"
by Amy Marie [starfantazy]
Welcome to Evoke's 21st Exhibition, "Spectrum"!
This tribute to color is truly sensational and we are honored to share it with you! Spectrum is a smaller pack than usual, but for what it lacks in size, Spectrum delivers a knockout in quality. Our artists went head first into their craft to ensure the highest calibre exhibition for your viewing pleasure. Simultaneously, the Evoke audio department, now headed by our very own Keith Alban aka brainst0rm, has also delivered several knockout tracks to accompany your visual experience.
Our featured artist this time around is berthjan, so make sure to give him a look and check out one of the many talented artists here at Evoke!
Also, Evoke v5 is on its way which will be full of exciting new features for everyone! Keith (brainst0rm) is now a part of the team and will be looking to recruit musicians, so make sure to head on over to the forums and apply! v5 will not just be a change in...
