Nic-Zine!

Background art NOT done by any of us.

[niczine]

Important:

Apologies in advance but there's been a personal emergency that has forced me to put this project on hold. No worries, I will still finish it!! With that said I will be extending the deadline to Sunday the 20th in October. I'd like to have these babies done by Halloween and give them out as treats. Kids need to be informed of the great Nicolas Cage! This is also good news for those of you who have asked for an extension. If I can get the submissions before the 20th of October I'd be super grateful.

TL;DR:

Deadline has been extended to 10/20. October 20th (It's a Sunday.)

NEW ARTISTS ARE WELCOME TO CONTRIBUTE! I am still 100% excited and committed to this project and have loved every submission sent so far so keep 'em coming!

Again thank you for your patience and apologies for the hold.

Submissions should be sent to [email protected]

More submissions are coming in!

ATTN: ALL ARTISTS AND NICOLAS CAGE FANS!

I’ve decided I want to make a Nicolas Cage zine! It will be full of fun facts, comics, fan-art, mini games and even pop quizzes! And I would love for YOU to be a part of it! That’s right, you can totally contribute! Love him or hate him, I want your Nicolas Cage stories! What was the first movie you saw? Why do you love/hate him? What got you hooked? Have you ever “Cage Raged?” What would you do if you got to hang out with the man for a day? Did you have an annoying significant other obsessed with him? Make a comic out of it! Have you ever drawn Cage ship art? Is there a Nicolas Cage movie poster you’ve always wanted to design? Then by all means submit it! Unfortunately you will not get paid considering this is a non-profit zine BUT once it is complete I will be handing them all around New York City. I’ll make copies so people can grab them at indie/big comic and movie shops, theaters, restaurants, bars, basically anywhere that attracts a crowd. I’ll even make copies for those of you that submitted and don’t worry your credit will be given! I’ll insert any information/links you want on your art page AND the back will have an index! P.S. I would like to avoid it becoming a “Nicolas Cage as Everyone” type of thing so if possible don’t photoshop UNLESS you think it’s worth it. Worth it would be something along the lines of this:

Digital and traditional art would honestly be preferred. I’m trying to go for a 7.5" x 5.5" format which is subject to change. You can take up as many pages as you want. If you’re interested in creating a long centerfold/spread let me know! It will most likely be in black & white but if you use colors and it looks amazing I will chip in for color-copies. A black and white variation would be highly appreciated! This is all coming out of my pocket so if your submission is printed in black and white please don’t be offended! This is a non-profit zine! Important: DO NOT STEAL OTHER ARTISTS’ WORK! Here are quick impromptu ideas of what might be found inside!

Potential artists so far are: Mady G. Elise D. Kat F. Mikey P. Jess S. So please! Come and be part of the collective, there will be NO censorship! I really want you guys to do this out of love and most importantly have a lot of fun with it! This really means a lot to me, so I’m looking forward to this project. Who knows? Maybe one day Nicolas Cage himself will get his hands on this! THE FINE PRINT: E-mail submissions to [email protected] by Sept 14, 2013. Written submissions—essays, interviews, memoirs, poetry, etc—should be .doc or .rtf files. No length limit, but bear in mind it'll be easier to fit short pieces. Comics, illustrations, and other visual media should be .tif, .PNG, or .jpg files, black-and-white or greyscale (as I stated before if you NEED to use colors make it super awesome), formatted to fit a 7.5” x 5.5” page at 300-600 DPI. Again, no length limit. By submitting work to What is Happening to Me!? Stories About Nicolas Cage via [email protected], you give us the right to use it in the What is Happening to Me!? Stories About Nicolas Cage print zine and tumblr. Anywhere we use your work, it’ll be credited to you. If your work appears in the print zine, you’ll get a contributor copy and a print-res PDF. Again this is non-profit! We are in no way affiliated with Nicolas Cage or any of his movies and studios he's worked with. Inbox me if you’re interested and we’ll get you started! Here are 101 facts to inspire you!
