The Daily Waffle: Episode One Hundred and Two

NO VIDEO TODAY. WHAT'S ON THE RACK TO FOLLOW TOMORROW

VALIANT ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO REVIEWS

Valiant isn't the biggest publisher in the world, but they have been around for a long tome and they publish some good stuff. Now they're actively looking for people to work with.

In a press release they have announced that they will be running online reviews of artists portfolios, with one on one review sessions available for artists, colourists and letterers. This is a chance for people to get their work in front of great editors who probably won't hire you, but who will be giving you top notch professional feedback that might well go a long way towards getting you hired in the future. Obviously places are limited, so if you're interested, act fast.

Details from the release:

"These virtual one-on-one sessions will take place with senior editors Heather Antos (QUANTUM & WOODY, X-O MANOWAR) or Lysa Hawkins (RAI, BLOODSHOT) and will run for approximately ten minutes. Please read the below information very carefully for submission details, deadlines, and suggestions.

Dates of Digital Portfolio Reviews

  • Thursday, July 9th from 12pm-2pm EST

  • Friday, July 10th from 12pm-2pm EST

How to Submit

  • Email your submission to PortfolioReview@valiantentertainment.com

  • Subject line: Name, Discipline, Available Date

  • Subject line example: Ray Garrison, Cover Artist, July 9th & 10th

  • Please note: Submissions should be a single PDF document with an information page in the back that includes your name, a link to your online portfolio, and your contact information."

This is clearly a far from exhausting list - and it's writer heavy because I tend to follow writers not artists. We'll be adding to it.

Go follow them, and find more women to follow, and listen. You don't have to agree, but it's high time that we listened to what women have to say.
