Who: Interns and other illustrators willing and able to work on a pro bono basis for the time being. When I get paid, you get paid. I get it if this isn't a satisfactory arrangement for you, but if that's the case, don't reply.
Why: Atrocity Parade, a magazine I'm developing.
Set in a re-imagined Lakewood, in a noirish town called Hatchetnap.
Content is original fiction, halfway between slipstream and bizarro.
Slipstream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipstream_(genre)
Bizarro: http://en.-wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarro_fiction
Styles:
a.. Sketch: A hybrid of Penny Dreadful-style/Edward Gorey/Children's illustration gone terribly wrong (like something that was meant to be cute but turned out creepy)
b.. 17th Century Woodcut
c.. Sideshow poster:
a.. Nieman Eisman
b.. Snap Wyatt
c.. Fred G. Johnson
The Objective: Go public with the prototype issue I've uploaded to WordPress.
Gain exposure.
Fund through Kickstarter and other initiatives.
Publish a print edition of the prototype.
Shop the prototype around to fund a year or two's worth of bimonthly issues, or a couple of compilation editions.
Score a print deal while shopping the prototype around.
The Perks: Illustrators get in on the ground floor of a likely breakout product.
Art from the online edition will illustrate the print edition.
I'll place a link to your online portfolio on my WordPress site.
We can stay in touch so I can find you IF I make any money on this project. No guarantee of payment for the time being, though.
Reply by e'mail to msrg-publications at cox.net, or call 216.389.6784. The best time to call is usually after 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends.
Attach a resume' if you have one, and a link to an online portfolio. Let me know if you have a portfolio that's not online.
Cheers,
Michael A. Miller
