ANA Comics: Comic Forum/Publishers. Come join us!!

Posted from:http://lopezstudios.com/?p=394">ANA Comics: Comic Forum/Publishers. Come join us!!

Hey guys! As many of you know I'm a big proponent of Web Forums for showing your art and getting useful critiques. There's plenty out there but with the bigger ones, it's kinda hard to get your art noticed and even harder to get *useful* feedback. So, I wanted to point everyone to one I just joined which I feel has some really great potential to grow. It's an indie comic company called A·N·A Comics (http://www.anacomics.com/).  I got introduced to it from my friend very talented friend Anthony (http://anmph.blogspot.com/) who is an admin there. It's a great new resource for Artists, writers, teams and people looking to bounce ideas for new comics around.. I'd love to give Anthony a hand and help build his stable of undiscovered talent so PLEASE go register on their forums and tell them that Freddy sent you!! http://www.anacomics.com/forum.html *OH!* as if you needed more incentive than just my word ;)  Along with the forum, there's some chances to get your art into a few of their projects:

A.N.A. Comics 2010 Swimsuit Special #1:

Something fun with the Swimsuit issue is that it will not only feature characters exclusively from A.N.A. Comics but it will be illustrations of MEN and Women. We should almost call it out Summer Celebration issue. It will be so much more than 32 pages of the usual bikini clad babes we usually see. This book will shine with the imagination and fun that is A.N.A. Comics. Even better A.N.A. Comics is looking to share in this fun with other Indy artists out there, giving them deserved exposure for their work. The icing is that it all goes to benefit a great cause!

2010 Spring Anthology:

Also coming in 2010 from A.N.A. Comics is a fun Spring Anthology set to feature some of the rich talent we have in Indy Comics. Scheduled to print in Late March to April of 2010 is A.N.A. Comics Presents: We're Indy! Currently we are looking over what we have and deciding if there is any more room for more stories.

There is still room however for you if you wanted to purchase ad space for the book. $25 is all it costs for a full page Advertisement in the book. Email: business[at]anacomics.com if you are looking for details on ad space.

So what do you think?? I'll be hanging out there showing off some new art so come join the fun! -Freddy
