Some tips for this (1/2):
- Just turn up!
- If you haven't got a portfolio, you can make 8 pages by mid Nov if you start now.
- Just bring your finished work.
- Print it out unless its a webcomic (crappy printing is better than no printing).
- Think about your storytelling
- A4 p/copies are fine.

Love this book, all of its themes and messages, and feel very lucky to have gotten to contribute a cover for this arc <3.

It’s about being uncompromising with your hope in the face of doom and despair. Staying in the fight when it seems everyone is against you, because you know life can still be beautiful.

This is about forebears needing to be pushed away from their locked, rusting gates.

There are also hell goblins.

NEWS:

Our dark fairy tale BRIAR returns December for its final arc NIGHT’S TERROR, art by @alexlins.bsky.social.

This is unabashedly a QUEER STORY, more so in this final chapter.

It’s about being unflinchingly who you are & who you love in the face of a fucked up, calamitous, hateful world. (/1)
