A Public Service Announcement
My pals at Bongo asked me to post this for them, and I'm happy to oblige. Good folks, those Bongonians. Bongo-ites. Bongers? Uh.
Bongo Comics is looking for pencillers and inkers to work on our line of books, (Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson Comics, Futurama Comics, Super Spectacular, etc.). We are not looking to publish any original material, and you must be 18 or over.Good luck!
If you're going to be at the San Diego Comic-Con this year, you can bring your portfolio to the Bongo booth, where our Art Director, Nathan Kane, will be happy to review it. Nathan is not taking appointments for portfolio review, so you may want to stop by the booth and check on his availability before bringing your portfolio by.
If you can't make it to San Diego, you may send submissions to:
Bongo Comics
c/o Nathan Kane
PO Box 1963
Santa Monica, CA 90406-1963
Or if you're so inclined, you can send a pdf of your samples to portfolios(at)bongocomics.com. Please keep files under 7mb in size.
As far as what you should submit: drawings that are Simpsons or Futurama related would be great, of course, but they don't have to be if you don't have any handy. Ideally, any non-Simpsons/Futurama art would be of other licensed creations, so we can see your ability to draw to a particular model. But although we'll use these drawings to check out your general skill level, we will more importantly be looking closely at your Sequential Art/storytelling skills, so we don't want to receive just pinup or spot illustrations. If your submission is what we're looking for, you will be sent a pencil or inking test, as appropriate. Please be aware that we will not be able to return any submissions sent to us, so send us photocopies of your work.
