Hi folks,

I'm a writer looking for an artist to collaborate with on a non-traditional comic book project that will live online. This is an unpaid gig. Ownership would be split 50/50 for any possible earnings in the future.

This would be a passion project. A long-term collaboration. Think something you'd work on in your spare time.

Look and feel of the project?

Visually: Think Cliff Chang's work on Paper Girls. Think Adrian Tomine. Think real life.

Tone: Gritty, urban, comic.

You can see some of my work in film here:

And you can read some of my (short) short stories here:

If you're interested PM me and I can take you through what I have in mind, and you can show me some of your work - or you can tell me to take a hike.

Thanks for your time,

Shane

I'm happy to say I've found a talented inker who's happy to collaborate on this project.

Unfortunately, I've yet to find a penciller, but these things take time. I guess sharing a little about the project might help pique people's interest, so feel free to read a brief description below:


'Registered Failures' will be an ongoing series featuring a range of short stories/comics existing within the RF universe. Beginning with the story 'Casual Con', we'll get to know the denizens of the fictional city Coldcut. Casual Con follows our protag and his Australian friend as they're hired by an egomaniacal businessman to track down the wily and suicidal Hayden Elizabeth.

Characters will show up in different stories. Stories will overlap, be cross-referential. Coldcut will be the place where weird things happen along with the everyday (because the everyday is damn interesting!) Where stories seep into one another, where the lives of others merge. I believe this would be an enjoyable, fun and exciting experience for the reader.

I'm aware the term 'realism' can scare off a lot of comic book fans and artists respectively. But while Registered Failures undoubtedly possesses the quality of gritty realism, it's also a comic tale about down and outs, Faustian businessmen, eccentric individuals and all the rest, with a full licence to go fantastical. Think dream sequences, hallucinations, and even the possibility of taking the story and turning it on its head, really going to new and otherworldly places with it. Because it's ongoing, because it's unbound by genre or fact, there's potential to do anything with it.


Of course there's more to the project, and how it'll be executed. So, if you're interested, please drop me a line and I'll fill you in. This is simply a passion project, something I feel could be lots of fun and which has the potential to find an audience.

Thanks for reading!
