Seeking Submissions from Comic artists, aged 13 – 25

Tuesday 19 Jan 2016

#artcore are looking for submissions from young artists, graphic designers and comic makers from Scotland and beyond, aged 13 – 25, for a new quarterly comic compendium, Get your ask, which we are self publishing at our newly opened print studio, Out of the Blueprint. You can either submit an already finished project… or create work, responding to the theme of the month. The first editions theme is New.

To participate in the first edition, please submit your artwork by the 19th of January. Artwork can be either one colour or two colour.  

The comic will then be compiled and printed by #artcore trainees during January, with selected work also being printed up and exhibited for three weeks at Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Edinburgh in February. All selected participants will get invited to the launch and sent 10 comic books, which they can sell for 3 pounds.

Deadline: Tuesday, 19 January 16 at 17:00
Exhibition: Monday 01 February – 22 February 2016

All contributors are asked to submit their own work by email or post as well as a short description of themselves and any weblinks.

Send us 1 – 4 pages of your comic via e-mail, ideally as at 300dpi jpeg or as a PDF to blueprint@outoftheblue.org.uk

or by post to Out of the Blueprint, Studio G38, The Drill Hall, 32 – 36 Dalmeny Street, Edinburgh, EH6 8EG
