J.S. Earls (creator of PISTOLFIST) has created a new anthology called
FRAMEWORKS: A STUDY IN SEQUENTIAL ART. "The only way 'motionless'
comic books can hope to compete with movies and video games is to make
full use of our sequential art form," said Earls. "We can do much
more than the 'same old, same old'. Comic creators need to – if we want
to use this art-form to its fullest potential and offer something
unique. There are many new and exciting techniques we can try with our
art-form and that is what this project is all about."

"We are still accepting submissions," said Earls. "Interested creators
may submit original tales with a length of 2-6 pages. These pieces may
be in black & white or color. Since we are trying to inspire young
creators, these tales need to be 'family-friendly' (no profanity, nudity
or excessive violence/gore). They should also be high quality work and
they absolutely, positively MUST use the Sequential Art format in a
'unique' way. Think outside the box. Turn the page sideways. Use a
lot of negative space. Make the art look like stained glass. Use
round panels, triangular panels, no panels! We don't care, just be very
CREATIVE with your format and your technique!!"

"Final submission pages must be saved as 300 dpi TIFF files. Any color
files should be flattened and saved in RGB mode with LZW compression.
Dimensions are standard American comic size: Full Bleed= 7x10.5,
Trimmed= 6.625x10.25 and the Live Area= 6x9."

The deadline for submissions is March 31st and they should be e-mailed
to J.S. Earls at: pistolfist@gmail.com
