Break into comics with Harley Quinn!

Harley Quinn is no stranger to a little breaking and entering for a good time and now, she's going to help one talented artist break into comics with DC Entertainment's Open Talent Search. That's right, we're looking for someone to draw one page of HARLEY QUINN #0 alongside some of comic's most amazing talents, including Amanda Conner, Paul Pope, Bruce Timm, and a few other surprises, maybe even you!! 

Beginning this November, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will be writing the madcap adventures of Harley Quinn and they'll need all the help they can get to handle her, so they're opening the invitation to one undiscovered talent to join them. If you think you've got what it takes to be published in this special issue, then put on your working hat and start drawing now, because an opportunity like this doesn't come along very often. 

Submissions can be Pencils, Pencils & inks or Pencils, inks & colors. Please keep in mind, the level of your work should be of professional-quality, so don't feel the need to ink or color your work if you're only confident in penciling.

Oh, and did we mention that we'll be reviewing the submissions ourselves to personally select Harley Quinn's new creative accomplice?  

Harley Quinn. One page. Published work. Breaking into comics was never this fun. ;)

 Jim & Dan

Here's how to enter:

  1. Read the rules & regulations listed below to confirm that you are eligible to enter DC Entertainment's Open Talent Search and agree to the terms and conditions.

  2. Read the following script page and give us your original artistic interpretation of what those four panels should look like on a single page:

    PAGE 15

    4 panels

    PANEL 1
    Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy.

    PANEL 2 
    Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a suit of raw chicken on, rolling her eyes like once again, she cannot believe where she has found herself. We see the alligators ignoring her.

    PANEL 3
    Harley is sitting in an open whale mouth, tickling the inside of the whale's mouth with a feather. She is ecstatic and happy, like this is the most fun ever.

    PANEL 4
    Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of "oh well, guess that's it for me" and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.

  3. Please have your final artwork fit the following specifications:

    • .jpg
    • 11" x 17"
    • 72 dpi
    • Preferably 500 KB, no larger than 1MB.

I am moving. Joining an Art community.

A friend once said this phrase in a conversation many years ago and it has been echoing in my head ever since. "To be an Artist, You must live like an Artist." He was, speaking of himself at the time but no less poignant for any one of us.

I'll keep you posted as time allows. :)

Here's the whole thing in short. I am searching for someone to assist me in a music video project for a band out of Buffalo, NY. I have over two hours of random footage on VHS that was shot on video 8. I had dubed the music and video 8 to the vhs from cassettes via the the line in on the vcr. The sound is kinda crappy and I'd like to clean it up. I do still have the songs on cassette if you need them, but I haven't dug them out in a very long time. If you can mix down the music to improve the quality of the sound it would be a plus.
You will be granted complete artistic freedom over how you compose the video to the audio. You can give yourself credit where credit is due and use the videos however you'd like once they are completed. I've chosen about three or four songs that I'd like to have videos edited for. I will want to have some input on what images go with what songs but for the most part it will be up to your creative sensibilities.
The video and audio would have to be captured to digital in order to do what you do with them. This project is intended to chronicle a period in the band's history, give them a tool for self promotion and if nothing else a thoughtful gesture from an old friend. The band is very active in the Upper New York area under a different name. If you would like to hear a sample of their new music go to: www.purevolume.com/giltransit
I mainly need the raw footage and cleaned up audio converted to digital. I know a guy who said he was willing to create the end product for me but he can't (or dosen't want to) capture the video or clean up the audio. If you are good at this type of thing and want to do just that or do the whole project let me know what you can or want to do. The more the merrier! I would like this to be a colaborative effort, if possible. If you have any samples of your work online that I can check out or if you want to meet up so I can check it out, I'd like to see it.
