AN APPLE
per day

More than once I have reported my concerns about the sci-fi food of the future as it is predicted to involve printers and replicators.  Scary.   But, I am certain the Victorians were a little afraid of all the gadgets that were exploding onto the culinary scene during their time; however, the apple peeler and refrigerator turned out not to be so scary after all.  We’ll see.  Oddly enough, this next call sort of combines the Victorian with Sci-Fi, no joke.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Arcana for Steampunk Originals which is seeking original art for a series of steampunk themed comics.  This is a cool opportunity, but please note the deadline is for FINISHED comics.  So, don’t delay in submitting ideas or proposals SOON if you’re going to need to be paired with a writer…

Steampunk Originals

 

Steampunk Originals is a steampunk-themed comic anthology published by Arcana.  Arcana has published 300+ graphic novels and 1000s of comics carried through Diamond Distribution & Barnes and Nobel.

‘Punk expresses a critical stance on society. If you lose the punk from Steampunk, you’re just blowing hot air.’ This theme poses an alternative timeline where the culture and power-sources from the 19th century persist to the modern day. Artists and story tellers are then asked to use this alternative reality to reflect and comment on our own.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists. This anthology is looking for 1-12 page full color comics which explore the steampunk theme through are of all styles + media and stories of all tones + genre.  Artists may choose to work independently or with a writer. (The coordinating editor will assist interested artists in finding a writer/ script to work with.)

MEDIA:  Open to all visual media. This anthology series is not restricted to traditional ‘comic art’.  Submit Uncompressed TIF files (6.875″ x 10.5″ @ 300 PPI) with any digital lettering layers un-flattened (if comic contains text that is not hand-lettered).

DEADLINE:  January 14th, 2013

NOTIFICATION:  February 11th, 2013

ENTRY FEE:  There is no entry fee or limit to the number of entries an artist may submit.

JUROR (Co-ordinating Editor):  Mike Schneider (of Neoflux Productions) brings anti-art traditions to mass-media production.  His collaborative works frequently involve hundreds to thousands of international artists, illustrators, and animators.
