I find that I’m at a strange place with my comic strips. I’m really struggling to make the time to create them, yet I’m enjoying writing them. The answer, then, seems to be to find artists who I can work with and who will maintain the vision.
While I appreciate that an artist will want to bring something of themselves to such a working partnership, they should also do it in a way that’s consistent with the aim and design of the strips.
There are a number of ways this could work. A single artist could work with me on each of the two strips; artists could commit for a short term (week, month, whatever); or there could be some kind of rolling deal where artists work on strips as and when they are available to do so. Or anything else that others could think of.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to pay anyone for this as I make no money from my strips and simply do it out of love, but should that position change or you can think of ways to market the strip to make money then such earnings will be shared.
Please let me know if you are interested in any way and we’ll talk. Contact me on steve@steve-ince.co.uk
