Altered Esthetics Featured Artist Contest
Altered Esthetics is gearing up for its 2014 Art Shows, including a new Comic Art Show. This show will be a stripped down version of Rock Ink Roll and Lutefisk Sushi. Instead of focusing on publications and mini-comics, this show will strip comics down to it’s very atom, the single panel comic. Think Family Circus. Think Far Side. Think your Friendly Neighborhood Political Cartoonist!

The best cartoon will be used for the shows promotional material, and the cartoonist will be the Featured Artist for the show! More information about AE’s Featured Artist Contests can be found here.

Writer Seeking Artist
I have a writer friend who is looking for an artist to work on one of two graphic novel projects. Below is a synopsis for each project.
Guru of the Mind
Synopsis: A story of introspection and emotional healing. There are
mysterious people called selnas, who enter the dreams of others from afar
and talk to them while they sleep. Selnas act as counselors and guides,
explaining their pupils the inner workings of the mind and heart. With the
help of selnas, various people learn to conquer their fears, doubts,
illusions and everyday worries.
Baka Desnay
Synopsis: A crazy-fun way of learning Japanese. Baka Desnay is the story of
an American man who accidentally travels to Japan in a suitcase while
pursuing a banana. He’s a loveably adventurous idiot, and he soons starts
having adventures with ninjas and robots and pirates and zombies, all while
slowly learning the Japanese language. His counterpart is mild-mannered
Takeshi, a college student assigned to be his Japanese tutor, who routinely
gets dragged along in zany adventures.
