I’m doing a pinup for this one! Alternately, if anyone would like an illustrator who really enjoys drawing ghosts and monsters and cartoony-looking people, feel free to hit me up in the zine’s Discord server. We’ll talk.
I’ve already got a piece that’s a good 17,000 words long and just needs knocking into shape!
I have written a thing and it is theme adjacent. The draft is too long, and I’m not firmly decided whether to edit it down for June or save it for December. I plan to decide in the next week or so. I think it would suit being illustrated pretty well and I’m not going to illustrate it myself (it deserves better?)
I’m in for this issue! I thought of a fun pun so you know I’ve got to now
definitely making some art for this issue! I can never say no to a nautical theme
I’m good to help illustrate an author’s story!
