My house burnt down
dondepresso:
So, no joke: My Portland house burnt down on Saturday morning (photo). I was staying at a friend’s house that night, so I didn’t get hurt, but all my belongings were destroyed, including the computer and tablet I was using to make Don Depresso comics (fortunately, there are still 17 left in the Tumblr queue, but after that I don’t know when I’ll be able to resume making comics).

Comic Book Artist WANTED
harryblakeman:
I have a dream of creating my own comic book. Printing a few copies for me and my friends. I have a fully written script, but a need an artist.
I have a limited budget. I need to find someone who would be mainly doing it for fun or as an exercise, as I could pay much.
If you think you have it in you, or know of anyone who might, please message me!

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!
dcwomenkickingass:
And I can’t think of a better day for you to check out Lady Sabre the webcomic about a female Pirate by Greg Rucka and Rick Burchett. It publishes once a week (mostly) and I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t read it.
Or you could pick up Conan the Barbarian by Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan and meet Belit:
And I think it is fair to remind people that at one time in the 90s...

Hello everybody!
scarecrowlaughingalonewithsalad:
So I’ve been working on this comic book for a ridiculous amount of time with one of my friends. (I’m writing it and making storyboards, and she’s making it a reality)
I’m really proud of it, but there’s a hitch.
It seems she’s gotten cold feet about the project.
I’m crushed. This has been my baby for nearly a year.
This is really crushing my self-esteem as a...

Comic Book Artist Wanted!
woodenigloosman:
I’ve decided to try my hand at writing a comic book series.
I’ve got most of the idea done, and have started writing, but I need an artist.
Disclaimers:
1) This is not a paid job. I’m not going to pay you to do this in any fashion. If you send me and ask, it should be because you want to.

daledeforest:
In an effort to help curb pop-culture’s malicious attempt at cultural appropriation, I’m trying to bring together a group of people (namely people of talent) to showcase what they’re good at.
ART.
Art is many things, FYI… not just purdy drawrins’ of cups, fruit n’ shit. Art is anything that doesn’t involve survival or reproduction (as Scott McCloud so elegantly stated)

does anyone know an artist?
anticlockworkteeth:
I have a really badass idea for a comic book that I need to bounce off someone, its a pretty dark, hopefully original, very twisted idea with a bit of humour…a twist on your standard ”league of superheros” to some degree etc… sketchy black and white artist for preference but Im happy to speak to anyone about it…as a writer I may put myself as either christ or faust…

Looking for a web-comic artist!
franq-art:
As the title says, I’m looking for an artist, but not for myself. A good friend of mine is working on a fun, light-hearted web comic set in a very serious part of history (WWII era) and she’s in need of a committed artist. I think the story is a wonderful mix of fun, quirky humor with a very serious/dark undertone and a cast of characters that would be all kinds of fun to design and...

I still have to talk to one other person about this decision, but...

Hello! First off, let me explain what it is I am looking for and why I am looking for it! I’m looking for someone to draw me backgrounds of: a dorm room, a park, a cafe, a classroom, a school hallway, being right outside of a school building, a garden… And probably many other things, as well!

Looking for an Artist
messiahofslams:
Hey this is a pipe dream of mine but, I’d like to work on a comic with someone and I don’t really know anyone at the moment who would consider commiting to a fun little project. I have the story done and a bunch of lay out ideas. If you’re even alittle interested message me to hear like a summary of the story and characters and whatnot, no pressure.
Cheers

HEY GUYS SOMEONE NEEDS AN ARTIST
superkianagalaxy:
Danny8bit on Deviantart contacted me today asking if I could illustrate his webcomic. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to dedicate to it. So, instead I’m hoping to get his name out in the world a little bit. If you’re willing to take a look at his story, you can send him a note on his deviantart (it’s linked up there, in case you didn’t notice) or maybe send me a...

I’ve been thinking about doing a webcomic for a while. And to do it I’d need an artist.

Last Day!
gailsimone:
I know I’ve talked about this several times, but today is the LAST DAY to pledge to get a physical copy of the LEAVING MEGALOPOLIS kickstarter.
We’re very excited by this, it’s been a huge success, and I think it bodes well for other creators to try doing their own dream projects with support directly from the readers. It’s exciting to be part of that, and THANK YOU ALL AGAIN.

That got your attention, I hope.
I want to buy Civil War (the Marvel comic), but I found two versions. One version is a hardback with 512 pages, the other one’s a paperback with 208 pages. I’m really confused, because I don’t want to buy the cheaper one (the paperback, obviously) and find out it’s incomplete. On the other hand, I don’t want to buy the expensive one and find out I...

I have a genuinely golden and unique idea for a comic book, I suppose it could work in another medium, but I feel it would be truest as a comic.
It would follow a second generation american of Indian descent as he struggles in America as a college student, but after seeing a close friend murdered because of his ethnicity he feels a strong hate towards those who are racist...

ferrets-are-awesome:
I need a new webcomic to read. All my webcomics were either finished by the time I began or are finishing.
Vgtaochris has a great webcomic rec series here. Alternately, there is the site webcomicsweekly, which has an amazing set of recs. Out of theirs I would personally suggest Gunnerkrigg Court.
