This"Writer Seeking Artist" ad is an example of so many examples of what not to do that I just had to share.

I have recently finished writing and am now scripting, what I consider, a very good BATMAN story, a new twist on the character. This story is long enough that it would be graphic novel in length, again, I put A LOT of time into it. This is ( Read more... )

I've been busy and haven't checked LJ and most of my online haunts since the 4th ( Read more... )

First of all, LJ is entering the causal game marketplace?

Game on, ElJayers! You can diagnose your friends in Sim Hospital or steal crops from your neighbors in Farm Frenzy. Check out all our new games in the Game Center!Geez. I don't mind wasting some time on Facebook, but that's all I use Facebook for, time wasters. The actual social networking ( Read more... )

These are comics related, but they're not seeking an artist, so it's slightly different from my usual "Hay look at this horrid job offer" posts.

First, would you trade a 21ft working boat for comic book? If so, this ad is for you!

Massive comic collection will trade for boat - $3000 (lake worth ( Read more... )

There is no easy way to "break into" comic just as there is no easy way to break into writing. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes your work catches the eye of just the right person, and you leap to the front of the line. Sometimes you're fortunate enough to have the money and time to try paths others can't, but if your dream is to be published with ( Read more... )

I live. I've just been lazy with regards to my blogging, though I've been tweeting up a storm. Sometimes it's easier to spit out small 140 character brain farts than compose a coherent and hopefully interesting journal post. But you are limited in what you can say unless you wish to be one of those "Twitter essayists"; you know, the people who have ( Read more... )

First off, Digital Webbing is getting ready to launch a new digital version of their anthology. They've been doing it since 2001, and though I Googled till my Google ran out, I didn't find any bad gossip about artists' experience with them. OF course, i didn't find any good gossip too. Information is rather lacking. And the deal isn't ideal, but ( Read more... )

Darren G. Davis' Bluewater Productions, infamous for their political, celebrity and now religious comics, is tackling a niche. That's fine. Even if the quality of their comics is questionable, if it sells then all is good. And they have had some talented people work for them, but when there's so many questionable dealings surrounding a publisher, ( Read more... )

The Zuda competition and looking into the artist/writer Bryan Golden led to nosing into the history of Bluewater Productions, originally an in house studio that worked with the likes of Image and Avatar. A good chunk of their titles are now historical, political, and biographical in nature and aimed at “whatever is hot right now”. Though much of ( Read more... )

Pat Lee. There are actually a few Lee's in the comic book industry, thus it was a name I was unfamiliar with. Moreover, I’m bad when it comes to recognizing Big Names in any industry, although it’s not unusual for me to have a moment of “Ooooh I know that book/comic/movie/song/game!” once I do a bit of Googling. Anyway, I read a series of angry ( Read more... )
