J1P previews: Monkeys, Men and Magicians

Three previews of unfinished art for Just 1 Page 3.

New publishers are welcome to contribute, especially if you are going to Bristol's Comic Expo, where Just 1 Page 3 will be launched.

Monkeys Go Ape from Stu.Art

I am always happy to see people stretching the theme, and Joacy Jamys from Brazil, brings a more thoughtful side of the "Battles" theme.

Playing of War check his website for more of his wide range !

And, in case anyone had not noticed, the best way to endear yourself to me is to feature John Constantine.

Well done Brian Crowley !

Other art promised so far:
Sagat (Streetfighter) Versus Tetsuo (Akira), by Richard Elson.
Silver Surfer & ????, AND Captain America V Captain Britain, by Tony Rollinson
Punisher V Tintin, by Graeme Reid
The Thing versus Dennis the Menace or maybe Galactus versus the Godzilla, by INDIO

TAKING PART IN JUST 1 PAGE

This has been the final J1P for me, as I'm just too busy at work now, so if anyone wants to take over the vacant "manager's post" please contact me.

For the record, here are the instructions that most artists seem to have ignored !

You can take part in the Just 1 Page magazine whether you are an established pro, a small-press star, someone attempting to make a break in the industry, an amateur, or a fan. You do not even have to be British or to be attending the Comics Expo. All you have to do is donate an actual paper-based page of comic art to benefit the UK's CHILDLINE charity. After struggling to keep track of all the artwork for auctioning, I really want you to send hard copies of your art this year.
Electronic coloured version of paper originals are allowed, but I must receive your paper version.

If you are a top professional then a signed print is acceptable.
Contributions can be a one-page strip, a convention sketch, a painting or a pin-up page whatever you can spare the time for. It does not have to be a new piece of art produced for this project.

A4 sized art is preferred (around 210mm x 297mm, US letter size = 8.5" x 11") but if you can also send an electronic scan 300dpi minimum quality then we can work with A3.

For more info on how to contribute art, buy a copy, or keep informed of the auctions, contact Adrian Brown just1page@aol.com
