Bill Storie – my colleague and creator of the
Ex Astris strip – has too much work on his plate at the moment and he’s looking for a reliable UK-based inker to work with him.
“There just aren’t enough hours in the day!” says Bill. “I’m currently working on three CGI strips (
Ex Astris
and two others for a US company) as well as pencils and inks on a new
project written by a rather famous UK creator for the European market –
but John (Freeman) and I have two more projects which we’re keen to get
off the ground.
“Whilst I’m quite fast at pencilling, I’m criminally slow when it
comes to inking — so we need to recruit another member for our team who
can take care of the inking.”
Bill has sent me pencil samples of his art from one of the new
projects (click the image above for full size).
“Unfortunately there are no contracts up for grabs at the moment and
therefore no guarantees of untold riches etc – yet!,” Mike points out.
“The new projects have not been approved for publication yet and so we
can offer no money up front. But John and I have a pretty good record
for getting our projects published so you’ll just have to look at the
art and decide if you feel we’re worth taking a chance on.”
