BOY CRAZY call for subs deadline

Posted on March 14, 2007
Hi Girls!
 
The Boy Crazy deadline for submissions has passed – thanks very very much to all the fantastic artists who submitted work, the standard of subs has blown us away and we’re crazy excited about putting the book together.

We’re having a meeting this weekend to sort out all our content, so if you’re halfway through a submission and wanted to sneak it in late we can TRY to fit you in but only if you contact us immediately to give us a heads up on where you’re at and how many pages you’re working on, either by email or by calling Coco on 027 454 0266 or Mitch 027 224 5885. Unfortunately we’re going to have to be staunch about this one, anything that’s more than a week away will probably miss out… but keep in contact for future publications.

Thanks again for all your interest and support and contributions, stay in touch and we will of course keep y’all up to date with what’s going on with the book as it happens.

Sweet,

Mitch and Coco
Boy Crazy

DEUX FACES: By SERA

Posted on March 5, 2007

EXHIBITION / RENDEZVOUS

Centre Culturel Français, Phnom Penh
[translated from March/April Programme]
sera image

  • Wednesday, April 4: Meeting with the author at 18:00
  • Opening of Exhibition at 19:00 and author’s dedication at 19:30
  • Duration of Exhibition: From April 5 to May 4, 2007

As a comic artist, aficionado of comics, painter, artist and teacher of comics, and a person who is involved with information technology,

“Séra has long been working in diverse areas. In fact, this combination of these is the true nature of Séra’s work. One of Séra’s comics which is ascribed to the artistic experience of his, turns visual narration into information technology in order to learn about multicultural experience. In a dozen books, he already explored numerous narrative and figurative subjects. There is a feeling there are more surprises to come. It is rare that a strip cartoonist becomes a reference. Such is already the case of Séra.“
– Phillipe Morin PLG

Born in Cambodia in 1960, Séra has never ceased producing art with reference to the history of his country. Two years after the publication of Water and Earth by Editions Delcourt, Séra is working on his third graphic novel relating to the Khmer Rouge regime to presented by the same publisher: Following Days of Ashes dates back to the events in 1979 during which the Vietnamese troops moved in and invaded the country, and the end of the Pol Pot era.

As such, not only this dual-purpose exhibition will provide an opportunity to unveil some aspects addressed in the above work, and also other work of Sera in large format.

To present this new work of his in Cambodia, Séra is preparing for three public events in Phnom Penh. An additional event of interest for those who are amateur graphic artists or amateur comic artists is the premiere of the graphic novel Water and Earth (licensed from Editions Delcourt) published in Khmer language by Editions du Mékong.

Posted on February 26, 2007

Dear Friend of Cardigan Comics, and past and future contributors to Tango,
 
I know you’ve been champing at the bit to start writing and drawing 
comic strip stories about Love and Sedition for ages now, and finally 
your time has come: if you click on the link below you will find all 
the information you need about how to contribute a story to the next 
issue of the giant Australian romance comics anthology, Tango:
 
 
Please forward this link on to anyone you think would be interested, 
and please contact me if you need more information.  As all of you 
probably know by now, I’m not the quickest email replier (hah!) but 
I’ll get back to you eventually.
 
This is really a comic book whose time has come, so pick up a pen and 
make some art.
 
Make some dangerous art.
 
Yours,
 
Bernard

FINAL CALL for NZ GIRL COMIC ARTISTS

Posted on February 20, 2007
Behold!

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.

x Coco & Mitch
