Music touches our lives every day. It is an influential and defining part of all generations and cultures and because of this, indie comic publisher Poseur Ink is putting together an anthology full of (2-6 page) autobiographical stories about the influence that music has had on artists lives as individuals, as artists, and/or on the creative process.

In Spring 2007, Poseur Ink published Side A: The Music Lover's Graphic Novel that included such great artists as: Liz Greenfield (Stuff Sucks), Ben Snakepit (Snakepit), Lars Brown (North World), Box Brown (Bellen), and Corey Marie Parkhill (Scene Language). It's already being sold in shops nationally and was featured in The Comics Journal, Razorcake, and Alternative Press Magazine. While the reviews were great, Poseur Ink would like to try our hand at making the next installment even better.

You can team up with one other person (a writer with an artist, or vice versa). All entries that are chosen for publication will remain copyright their creators, and said creators will receive a free copy of the final publication to call their own.

The final publication will be approximately 200 pages that will be on shelves in 2009. Poseur Ink will be taking submissions until December 31st, 2008. You can read more about the project and the submission guidelines on the website linked below.
