Be unpaid, which, yes, sucks, but that's why I'm keeping it to pitches. Though if the want was there Kickstarter and/or Patreon could provide money for the project if we wanted to go that route.
I said pitches because the commitment for the artist isn't much--Cover, 5-6 pages.
As far as styles, I'm open. I'd like to start from the ground up with an artist. Meaning I'd like to write what the artist would like to draw. I just find this to be extra nice for the artist and myself in that artist tend to be more into a thing if they helped create it and are drawing stuff they like
Sorry, for grammar and typos that might be above, I'm writing in traffic

more detail
I'm afraid you missed my point. Though you may not have to since you have publishing credits pitching yourself and your potential projects on site will get people excited about you and will net more interest.

Here's some random ideas I have--
Moonshiner
Ex-Army vet Iris Gentry had settled into the quiet life of the Kentucky hills. A life of moonshining and taking care of his wife and daughter. Then one night, the calm is broken when Iris's wife and daughter are abducted by a gang of vampires. Iris is suddenly pulled into a world he had no idea existed. It's Southern Gothic or if Elmore Leonard had written a Hammer vampire film. (mini-series that could turn ongoing) OR Hillbilly vs Vampires.
Skeleton Crew
Earth has been abandoned. All that remains are terraforming machines and a small skeleton crew tasked with maintaining them. The hope is that the machines will make the Earth livable again. But when an alien race sees an empty Earth as the perfect target for colonization, a simple maintenance job becomes a battle to save Earth. Given that there's little in the way of weapons, the Crew has to really on determination and ingenuity to overcome the odds. Diverse cast, character driven sci-fi action with some humor.
World to Come
A man suddenly appears in the Judaean desert and claims to be the Messiah. The world, at first skeptical, begins to believe his claim. But one small group skeptics don't buy his story. They believe he is just an alien scout soldier sent to prep the Earth for invasion. Their plan--Assassinate the Messiah. They have 40 days to do so. 40 days being when the Messiah said he'll reveal his true purpose. The audience is, perhaps, left in the dark about if he is or isn't truly the Messiah.
There's also Vic Boone-- Which I'd like to do more with since it had such a decent fan following. Could be new mini (3 issues) that is Kickstarted or a webseries that we Patreon. I don't mind Kickstater, because I have a pretty decent support group and previous KS people who would help. I was apart of the FUBAR anthology that became a NYT bestseller through KS.
As far as myself, here's some words about my work--
