Ready to start one more time ?

The Wond'rous Mr Jesse Farrell has come up with two superb statues for Just 1 Page, and they'll be auctioned in April, so be there !

Okay everyone ?
Thanks to the 30 or so people who have been in touch - an abundance of Brazilians, which is only appropriate for a World Cup issue.

The Just 1 Page itinerary is as follows:
March 31st - Deadline for your contributions (of course some of you will miss this, PLEASE start now !)

April 1st - Final weeks of Just 1 Page 3 auctions - including the remaining artwork, plus a very nice extra one of Batman & Poison Ivy by Bevis Musson, plus the most excellent statues you can see above.

May 12th/13th/14th - Just 1 Page 4 on sale at the Comic Expo in Bristol. This time it will be something of a football fanzine effort to encourage cross over customers !

June some time,
THE WORLD CUP.

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
