[from Amber Carvan:]
Are you a comic artist in need of rehabilitation? If not, perhaps you
know one?

I’m looking for people to join me for a stint in:

———————————-
COMIC ARTIST REHAB
———————————-

Four artists who haven’t been as busy as they should commit to
drawing four panels every four days for four weeks.

Yes sirree, that’s 28 days of comic artist rehab!

The fine print

1. Artists in rehab must commit to completing the program – this
involves drawing four panels every four days. The comics can be stand-
alone or can be part of a longer story.

2. Artists in rehab will have to scan and upload their own comics to
the rehab blog. Participants will be given an upload schedule and
will have to adhere to it.

3. Comic artist rehab encourages the family and friends of artists
undergoing treatment to drop by to offer encouragement and support. A
comments facility will be available.

4. The program only allows for four participants at one time. If
further artists require rehab, future rounds can easily be arranged.

5. If, it works we can publish the comics in a book/zine. Whaddaya
reckon?

Email me if you’re interested or if you’d like to arrange for an
intervention for someone you know!

More info, URL etc, coming soon. Please circulate this notice to your
friends/networks.

Thanks,

It may be that ‘The Truth Isn’t Sexy’ when it comes to trafficking, but the efforts of these artists are certainly admirable.

A wide range of creators participating in this campaign include comicians Dame Darcy and Jacky Fleming, who will be exhibited in OK Comics (Leeds) prior to the main exhibition.

USA: Laura Park has a new mini-comic out, and if you’re nice, you could get one.

No central site; likely she’s too busy drawing up tasty treats. You can contact via MySpace or Flickr, or comicians ‘in the know’.

Not familiar? Let’s just do a quick Google. Hmm… here’s an article. And another. And another.
