I have a story, written already, that is a perfect fit for a graphic novel, and is likely to have a pretty good market potential.The theme is the effects of modern American Politically Correct culture on kids in public schools...set in a science…
"I would be interested, Kent. I just uploaded a bunch of my work here or you can have a look at www.harshweb.com for more details.
Art is my profession, however, so I don't know how you are wanting to produce this. I can't afford any free work…"
"Welcome to CCAS! You're in the right place, as far as finding an artist. The next step may be to translate (if that's the right word) the fiction piece into a comic script, so the artist has some idea of how it is supposed to look and read."
I don't think that I mentioned the theme...but you are exactly right!
The theme is exactly public education. The story is set in a public school...and follows the travails and eventual triumph of a boy who is subjected to the soul-killing…"
"Gerry makes some good points here. I'd love to read a more thorough presentation of the project. It sounds fascinating to me, and if it takes a jab at the faults of public education, I might be interested in being involved.
I am not an artist, and am only an fan writer, but if I might make some suggestions?
Do a presentation pack for your work. A lot of times, and I am guilty of this, Christian aspiring writers are too vague about what their project needs…"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
Kent,
I am an artist, I'm interested in what you are wanting to produce, but I am afraid my art is my livelihood so I cannot afford to work for free at the moment. Please email me at Harsh_Inc (at) yahoo (dot) com if you are interested in talking more about it. :)
Thanks, and God Bless you and yours,
Harsh
