Artists Needed!

SeajayVentures is looking for artists to work later this year on our "New Diretion" comics lines as well as a couple of stories for our current line, Red Lion Publications.

     

We are in particular need of pencilers but will also consider inkers and letterers.

     

Pencilers please submit three pages of penciled comics story art-no poster art please-and inkers send three penciled pages and then the same pages inked. Letters send us samples of your best work including logos.

     

We are looking for a wide range of style; not just super-heroes. Submit samples to JonAllanGilbert@yahoo.ca . If we look what we see we will ask you to send additional saples by snailmail. Our rate of pay for talent is based on sales, not profits.
