John McRea tells us that the Midlands Hi8us crew are offering up an excellent chance for a group of burgeoning comics to hone their skills with the help of a damned impressive roster of comics professionals:
“If you’re 16 plus, with a passion for comic art and live in the West Midlands, then Hi8us Midlands’ latest FREE comic art scheme called COMIX, could be for you. All the lucky winners will also get to work with people on similar schemes across Europe and get a supported trip to a comic art festival in Spain as well as a trip to the Birmingham’s International Comics Show.”
“20 talented individuals will get the opportunity to develop their skills with John McCrea (X-MEN, SPIDERMAN AND THE HULK), Hunt Emerson (THE BEANO, WALL STREET JOURNAL AND FORTEAN TIMES), Laura Howell (THE BEANO, THE GUARDIAN), Asia Alfasi (IMAF WINNER, BEST NEW MANGA, BLOOMSBURY GRAPHIC NOVELIST) and Andi Watson (GEISHA, BUFFY) amongst others.”
It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for a lucky few, so if you’re in the Midlands I think you might want to get an application in; check the Hi8us site for full details and to download application and submission forms.
