Hello folks,
you may have read on the main Down The Tubes site that the Temple APA (of which myself, John Freeman and various others are members) is looking for contributors to the new Digital Temple Showcase. If not, here's the details:
The Temple APA, one of Britain's longest-running amateur comics communities (which has several professional-standard creators in its midst!) is looking for writers and artists to contribute to the new digital version of the Temple.
The new version will be a free downloadable PDF, which showcases comic writers and artists and the deadline for Issue 1 is October 1st 2008.
Contributions can be anything from one to five pages in length, including a front cover containing contact details etc (see the Temple Issue 0 PDF for examples).
All material must be comics related - whether it's strips, scripts, work in progress, pencils, sketches, inks, colours etc, the content is completely up to you. Although mature content is acceptable, it will be removed from the 'Child Friendly' version of the Temple Showcase that will be released around the same time.
The PDF will be freely available over the internet, so it's probably not a good idea to use copyrighted characters, or strips which you intend to sell (unless they've already appeared on the internet in the form of webcomics etc).
Pages should preferrably be A4 in size at 300 dpi (in case the Temple decide to do a print version in the future). JPG's are also preferred.
• If you’re interested, visit the Temple website
www.templeapa.ning.com or email: templeapa [AT] googlemail.com. Please email the pages you intend to contribute to the same address.
• If you want to see what the finished PDF will contain you can now download ‘Issue Zero’ on the main Temple site.
• If you're interested in joining the Temple (we swear they're not a religeous cult!) then visit our website at
www.templeapa.ning.com and click the 'Join' button (no need to wait for an invite). Anyone from the rawest amateur to the most seasoned professional is welcome!
