promotion research

http://drawn.ca/tag/promotion/

Illustrator David M. Buisán has created a promo reel of sorts for his illustration portfolio, similar to an animator’s promo reel, but with static images set to music. It definitely makes the task of sifting through an artist’s body of work, and trying to decide which piece to share with you guys, far easier.

Will Fantagraphics publish my comic?

Fantagraphics Books publishes comics for thinking readers - readers who like to put their minds to work, who have a sophisticated understanding of art and culture, and appreciate personal expression unfettered by uncritical use of cliché. Fantagraphics will practically always reject any submissions that fit neatly into (or combine in a gimmicky fashion) the mainstream genres of superhero, vigilante, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. While some of our publications are suitable for young readers, we do not publish children's picture books.

Take note of the originality and diversity of the themes and approaches to drawing in such Fantagraphics titles as Love & Rockets (stories of life in Latin America and Chicano L.A. which draw on influences as diverse as Luis Buñuel, Frida Kahlo, and Hank Ketcham); Palestine (journalistic autobiography in the Middle East);Eightball (surrealism mixed with kitsch culture in stories alternately humorous and painfully personal); and our Ignatz series of comics (contemplative literary pieces that explore the limits of the medium). Try to develop your own, equally individual voice; originality, aesthetic maturity, and graphic storytelling skill are the signs by which Fantagraphics judges whether or not your submission is ripe for publicatio

"My name is Suzanne Schaefer, an empty-nester, an artist, a resident of the glorious Pacific Northwest. I’ve been painting and drawing since the age of 3. I swear you could lock me in a closet and I’d find some way to draw on the walls! I draw every single day just to stay sane.:
