Comics Scholarship Funds!

The deadline is TOMORROW, but, hey, you're on Spring Break. No excuses!

The Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians has as part of its objectives the awarding of a scholarship to a student interested in learning the mystical art of sequential illustration. This scholarship will be at least a lowly $100, but might reach loftier sums of $200 or maybe even higher. Funds for the scholarship are gathered in the year prior, and all funds gathered are bestowed on the talented applicant the CLAW chooses. Update: The funds raised for the 2011 Scholarship have reached over $900. And it is potentially available to the student who best fills out this application. You must also be currently enrolled in an institution or have confirmation of enrollment.

CLAW Scholarship

It's not going to pay your tuition, but it'd buy a mighty nice light table, or something.

Free not Cheap?

An Interesting Thought from Paul Scriven on freelance pricing.

I'm happy to do free work for projects I'm interested in or people I like a lot, but over the years, I've settled on a single hard-and-fast rule for doing free work: No revisions whatsoever. I'll do my best, and there's no hard feelings if it's not what you're looking for, but that's it.

This is especially important to make clear when working with friends. Seriously.

FREE STUFF! THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT!

3x3, the Illustration Magazine, is giving away their back catalog of issues! I picked up ever issue offered, for just the $20 postage. What a deal!

If you haven't seen 3x3, the library has a subscription. It's a lovely magazine, and a great way to check out what's happening in the world of illustration.
