Bongo is looking for artists

Chris Ungar · 07-12-2007, 04:30 AM

Hi everybody! Bongo Comics is looking for pencillers and inkers to work on our line of books, (Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson Comics, Futurama Comics, Super Spectacular, etc.). We are not looking to publish any original material, and you must be 18 or over.

Send your submissions to:

Bongo Comics
c/o Nathan Kane
PO Box 1963
Santa Monica, CA 90406-1963

Or if you’re so inclined, you can send a pdf of your samples to portfolios@bongocomics.com. Please keep files under 7mb in size.

As far as what you should submit…drawings that are Simpsons or Futurama related would be great, of course, but they don't have to be if you don't have any handy. Ideally, any non-Simpsons/Futurama art would be of other licensed creations, so we can see your ability to draw to a particular model. But although we'll use these drawings to check out your general skill level, we will more importantly be looking closely at your Sequential Art/storytelling skills, so we don't want to receive just pinup or spot illustrations. If your submission is what we’re looking for, you will be sent a pencil or inking test, as appropriate. Please be aware that we will not be able to return any submissions sent to us, so send us photocopies of your work. Thanks!

Ooh, you took my bitchy comment. Is the writing still in the state it was in when I gave up buying the comics a year ago?

No, it's a lot better now. I won't really comment on this thread because I've already asked my questions over at PEEL

**Patches O'Houlihan** · 07-12-2007, 06:47 PM

Drawing Simpsons Fan-Art is more profitable, wait disregard that. :silly:

SubSane · 07-12-2007, 10:02 PM

Nice opportunity. I wonder if the recent hiring of a certain space coyote led to this.

homer2121 · 07-13-2007, 05:02 PM

A inker sounds like a easier job

conor. · 07-18-2007, 11:00 AM

What about a tracer?

From what I've heard it's very time consuming. I actually think doing the pencils would be more interesting...with inking you basically just draw over every line on the page again.

homer2121 · 07-18-2007, 06:37 PM

I dint say a inker was more interesting its just easier.

I know exactly what you said, hence the reason I said this:

Everything after that is my own opinion on the matter.

**dewey** · 07-18-2007, 07:11 PM

I'm currently re-structuring my 'mechanics' of art of drawing Simpsons. Last time I posted my art was like last year when I was in Krustylu. Maybe about 10 years later for me

**Patches O'Houlihan** · 07-19-2007, 08:11 PM

Eh, what the hey, I'll send off a .pdf file.

banana plantation · 07-22-2007, 01:19 PM

^^^you should, based off that shirt design you made, it seems like your pretty good.

Gatorgod · 07-22-2007, 01:55 PM

I'll give it a shot

Swartzweldian · 07-26-2007, 06:37 AM

Zero drawing abilities.

However, I have a small copywriting business

If you ever need copy for anything (ads, content, filler, press releases, web content, etc..) feel free to contact us.

**Kiyosuki** · 07-26-2007, 06:45 AM

Maybe I should try...

They've probably found someone by now though.

homer2121 · 07-26-2007, 07:21 PM

Binky · 07-26-2007, 07:27 PM

homer2121 · 07-26-2007, 07:32 PM

No, no Kiyo it's not a competition or anything. I've already asked Chris stuff regarding submitting things, and applications never actually close. You can really send stuff in whenever you want.

**Kiyosuki** · 07-30-2007, 09:32 PM

Hm. Well things have gotten a little more complicated for me suddenly this month so not immediatly. But maybe soon in the very near future I'll give it some thought.
