FINAL CALL for NZ GIRL COMIC ARTISTS

The final call for submissions and the final exciting deadline (and other
Q&As) regarding your opportunity to have work published in the new all-girl
NZ comic anthology BOY CRAZY!

Q: What is Boy Crazy again? I remember knowing before Xmas but the deadline
evaporated and I like flaked out.

A: Boy Crazy is the all-girl, fully published book that will be released
mid-2007; immortalising female comic, zine and art culture in Aotearoa.
Conceived, compiled and edited by Coco (co-creator of ‘This is not a Comic’)
and Mitch (an editor currently working in legal publishing) – we’re both
comics-crazy and determined to make this book the first of many completely
incredible publications showcasing NZ underground artists and comix
culture.In the tradition of great female comic collections like ‘Twisted
Sister’ (US) and ‘Daughters of Slaughter’ (NZ) you have been invited to
submit your work and you’d be the crazy one not to feature – so time to be
onto it ‘dude’.

Q: When is the deadline?

A: The new final and revised deadline is Monday March 12, 2007. We have
attached our postal address, email and contact phone numbers at the bottom
of this email, along with the technical specs and creative requirements of
your submission. Despite our xmas-time flexibility we will be holding all
artists to this deadline. If you are worried about this at all just get in
touch as soon as possible and we can probably sort something out. TIP: Dont
leave it til the last minute, basically you’ve got five weeks from today to
do something insanely creative that reflects what a choice lady you are.

Q: Why should I submit something again?

A: This is a professionally published book on the coffee table tip, exciting
sponsors are onboard and this project is a huge chance to showcase work for
all artists and females in NZ. This could potentially generate more interest
and income into the realms of independent art and comics (not to mention the
talented ladies who’ve crafted them). Wanted to ‘make something’ for a
while? Wanted to have a motivation to do this? Needed to feel pressure slash
inspired? Or a workaholic looking for her next project? A comic geek who
wants to be included? Don’t make me get Tony Robbins.

Q: Does my comic have to be BOY CRAZY?

A: No. Its a counteractive shout out to the Hernandez Brothers’ comic ‘Girl
Crazy’ as well as a pisstake/acknowledgment of the phenenomen that some
girls are boy crazy. If you are, go nuts. If you aren’t, all good. It’ll be
a mean collection either way.

NOW YOU KNOW THE DEAL, GO HARD. Boy Crazy will showcase the diverse female
talent in the NZ art/comic/zine and independent press realms. The anthology
will feature a mix of comic legends, alt artists and electric newcomers. We
look forward to your submission and hope to finally celebrate the awesome
tomboy talents of Aotearoa.
Read on for all the details AND dont forget to pass the Boy Crazy info onto
all the other clever female artists you know.
