Published Writer Seeks Artistic Collaborator for Creator-Owned Miniseries

Bulletin:

Hello. My name is Elton Pruitt, and I'm a comic book writer who's been published in a few small-press/indie anthologies, capped off by stories in three consecutive issues of Negative Burn last fall.

I'm looking for an artist interested in partnering with me on a creator-owned miniseries. It's a straight-up superheroine book: no irony, no deconstruction, and nary a trace of grim or gritty. The working title is Riveted: the Ballad of Rosie and Jynx. Here's the short pitch:

"After taking in the grandmother who raised her, Jynx (a brash young post-punk R&B singer) learns that Grammy was not only the real-life Rosie the Riveter, but also a real-life superhero battling Nazi villainy at home. When Grammy's kidnapped, Jynx puts her music career on pause to focus on saving her. She soon discovers both the identity of the kidnapper and the key to unlocking her own latent powers..."

Are you the artist I'm looking for? You may be, if you're interested in a true creative collaboration, rather than simply a work-for-hire gig. Of course, I understand that time is money and art supplies cost money, so based on your experience and samples, I'm willing to consider a reasonable page rate for the initial 5 pages and cover that we need for the pitch package.

My ideal artistic co-creator will (1) both pencil and ink their work, (2) like Pink, and (3) kick ass. But I'll settle for two out of three!

If interested, please send sequential samples (and terms, if applicable) to riveted.artist@gmail.com.

Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!
