Altered Esthetics Featured Artist Contest

Altered Esthetics, cartoonist conspiracy, gallery show
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!
Altered Esthetics is looking for a Featured Artist for this show.  This year we will be having a Featured Artist Contest.  To apply to be a Featured Artist, draw up a single panel cartoon as submit it using this form.  Be sure to select “Comic Art” as the show you are submitting for.

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.

The deadline is August 31, so get drawing!

Rain Taxi is launching a new Lit Art Magazine and wants YOU!

anthologies, artists, blog, cartoonist conspiracy, Conspirators, Contest, deadlines, event, Good Causes, hype, jam, Jam Comics, Minneapolis, mn, , , , , ,

 

Okay so recently Rain Taxi decided to launch a literary journal and is including COMICS! The deal is that on Aug 25th at the Cedar the event will launch with art making and local bands, and all the content for the issue will be made between noon and midnight, which is old hat for you comic jammers. They asked me to be the comics editor and I thought of you guys immediately. Who better to do this than 24 hour comics day veterans?

The deal is though, that Rain Taxi is crowd funding the project in the style of Kickstarter. And the funding seems to be creeping so it is going to need all the help it can get to become a reality.

The main reason that I am campaigning so much for this project among many other equally worthy projects is that I think it is a VERY IMPORTANT step in Minneapolis art/print scene that Rain Taxi from the get go decided to give COMICS an equal billing along with the more familiar short stories, poetry and non fiction. I think if this project makes it it will be another step towards comics being seen as an integral part of such anthologies and not an afterthought or oddity.

So that all said, if this sounds like something you’d want to participate in or help support here is where you do it. (Also read more about the details)

Also if your work is selected this is gonna be a really nice book on the resume 😉
