John Rogers — amusing blogger and professional writer (in comics: “Blue Beetle,” “Zombie Tales,” on TV: “Leverage” and “Jackie Chan Adventures,” in the movies: “Transformers,” “Catwoman,” “The Core”) — is looking for some help. Here’s the post:
Artists Wanted
Yes, I’m about to do something magnificently stupid. In preparation, if you’re a comic artist looking to do a 6-8 page story that might turn into something more, let’s see some links in the comments. Individual artists, studios, what have you. And tell your friends.
[Note: Please go over to John’s blog and leave your info there.]

Hot, isn’t it? Stop by to cartoon and yap during the open studio. It’s got air conditioning. No wading pool, however.

My name is Jenny Sullivan and I work for the School Age Care program for ISD #197.
The week of July 26th I will be teaching a comic book making class for the School Age Care summer program.
I am contacting you to see if you may know of any local cartoonist that would be willing to volunteer their time to come speak to my students about their careers?
If you are interested, please send me an e-mail.

Thanks!

Stop by and say “Hi” and purchase a book or two.

Oh say, can you see by the dawn’s early light that it’s time for this month’s open studio? Take a break from taping firecrackers to beer cans and stop by to draw and socialize.

Something new! We get to meet in the basement! Will there be ghosts? Demons? Echos? Spiders? Scary florescent lighting? We’ll see. (Well, I won’t see because I’ll be in Rhode Island at a wedding. Sorry. — David St.)
Sat., June 12, noon to 4 p.m., MCBA basement!

Okay. So the scheduled Open Studio happens to fall right on top of SpringCon. That means attendance will probably be light. And that means not so much talking! Fewer distractions mean that you will probably be able to get a lot of work done on your Lutefisk Sushi submission! Nice.
