The Callous Blog

Celebrate the big FIFTEEN: One of the features of the Callous Comics website is the Guest Art/Comics page.  I've been extremely blessed to receive great entries from some of the most fantastic comic creators and artists!

I usually put out the call for guest work when I'm expecting down time from producing comics but this year is different.  As you might know, Callous Comics is celebrating it's fifteenth anniversary on August 7, 2011!  To help celebrate this grand occasion, I'll be opening the site to guest work for a couple of weeks leading up to the big date!  These will be published alongside my own!  If you're interested in joining this big art party, the details will be posted at the bottom of this blog post.

Callous Comics Day: You may have noticed on the Guest Art/Comics page that I do a lot of guest work too!  And if you look closely, by some freakish twist of fate, several of my guest spots got published on the same day!  So, on July 19, 2011, I'm hoping to have at least ten (10!) guest comics done, provided they all get published on that day.  If you'd like me to make a guest comic for your webcomic series, just e-mail me HERE!

Guest Art / Comic Details:

• Please keep things Callous-related!  Your guest artwork or comic strip should feature at least one recurring character from the Callous comic series.  If you have your own comic series and would like to feature your characters in the guest artwork/strip, feel free to do so!
  

• Your submitted comic strip will be published at a 850 pixel width, regardless of the height, at 72 dpi.  Please adjust your lettering or font sizes with this in mind so that text or dialogue in your comics would remain legible.  Other artwork will be published at varying sizes depending on content at 72 dpi.
  
• Please submit your images in JPEG or PNG format.
• I work really hard to maintain Callous as an all-ages comic strip.  Please keep things G-rated! I'll accept any PG-7 material and some PG-13 depending on the content.  As for being funny?  Of course, it's better that way, but feel free to be expressive with your comic strip within these boundaries, funny or not.
• Publishing time will be on the two weeks leading up to August 7, 2011.

• By sending a submission, you, the artist, agree to have your guest art and/or comic to be posted on callouscomics.com as well as its retention in the archives and to have a thumbnail image taken from it for use on the Guest Art / Comics page.  All copyrights to the submitted art/image remain with the artist.  However, all Callous-related characters and settings remain the copyright of Carlo Jose San Juan.
