Thread "Looking for illustrators" in forum "Meet, Greet, Show and Sell*"

Posted at 1:11PM, Nov. 10, 2009

Hi all,
I just joined DD because I'm looking for illustrators. That is: kind (or not so kind, too) guys (or not so guys, too) wanting to draw my scripts. That's because I've tried and tried, but drawing is not my cup of tea.
On the other hand, stories… I have a lot of stories, tons of stories! (actually they don't make me sleep at night) Strange characters, hard breath taking plots, name them, I got them.
Till now I've only written short stories - and in Italian - but now that I transferred to the States I feel a change is needed.

So, that's the deal: I'm looking for one (or more, I'll explain later) illustrators for starting a new comic project. I'll write the scripts, manage to keep the plot coherent and, if in need, will do the lettering. And you (yes, you!) could draw it.

Ok, probably it's a already too long introduction post. In a short time I'll move the whole thing to the comic forum.

Oops! Unless you're trying to live up to your username, you probably didn't notice the message on the thread that says Introduce YOURSELF and not your comic. Maybe if you post your message here instead, you'll get better results.

Well, now that that's straightened out, maybe you can properly introduce yourself here and answer a few questions for us, like "What are your hobbies?" and "Got any money?"

By the way, welcome to DrunkDuck, Nelson/absentminded! :) It's nice to meet you! Enjoy the weather! ;)

Sorry, in the rush to start in the right way, I started… well, in the wrong way :-D

OK, myself. Actually I'm a computer science affiliate at George Mason University, Virginia. But I'm Italian, too: I'm now in the States because of a grant I won. So no, I haven't got so much money, sorry :-)

In my spare time (well, in what looks like spare time) I enjoy philosophy, literature, everything regarding the mind, its limits and the tricks you can do to it.

In the past I've done a few strange things: juggling, fakirism, medieval fencing (with real swords, not larp), written stuff for theatre, written stuff for local papers, written stuff for my own pleasure. I've also tried to make cookies, but it turned out it was easier to lay on a bed of nails.

OK, I think it's enough for now (every man need a couple of secrets)
