New England Comic Group Looking for Erotic Comics
Offshore Comix is a new organization dedicated to comics for adults
A new New England comic organization is looking for your positive and sexy erotic comics for an anthology to be published in Fall 2009.
Offshore Comix is a collective of cartoonists and comic creators from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont interested in exploring comics and cartoons for mature adults. The group plans to kick off a series of annual comic anthologies with the release of an erotic comic anthology titled Big Sexy, which will be released at the Small Press Expo show in Bethesda, Maryland in September 2009.
Offshore Comix is not just looking for any comic sex stories - they want stories that are positive, fun and uplifting (as well as titillating!). "We're looking for happy and positive erotic comics that have an eye toward educating," explained Anne Thalheimer, a Massachusetts cartoonist and one of the founders of the group. "We're not looking for anything that could cause harm, just light and fun erotic comics that any adult can enjoy."
Other founders of Offshore Comix include New Hampshire cartoonist Colin Tedford and Vermont writer Daniel Barlow.
For more information, please send an e-mail to crew@offshorecomix.com.
Important contributing details:
Deadline for contributing to the erotic anthology is August 1.
Size of the comic will be 5.5 x 8.5 inches, so please draw to those proportions. Submissions should be between 1-6 pages long, although we can make some exceptions.
Files should be 600 dpi B&W tif (or 300 dpi grayscale if there is gray in it).
Send your comics to crew@offshorecomix.com. Please also send a sentence or two about yourself (with website or other contact info if you like) for the bio section of the anthology.
Contributors will receive one copy of the comic per page of their work in the anthology and can buy additional copies from Offshore Comix at half off cover price. All sales from the anthology will go directly to future community publishing plans of New England comic organizations.
The founders of Offshore Comix reserve the right to reject a contribution if it does not fit the criteria of the anthology.
