NEW ZINE! 🏜️

The success of TVC Vol. 1 (Blood & Brocade) was unprecedented, and as the hardcopies print, I'm more than motivated to get started on the next big thing!

INTRODUCING...DEVIL'S CLAIM: A WESTERN HORROR ZINE

🦴 CONTRIBUTOR APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN 🦴

We're looking for artists and writers to bring the darkest corners of the Wild West era (1860s-1890s) to life. Outlaws with unnatural appetites. Cursed gold claims. Things that ride under the desert moon. Gunslingers who refuse to stay dead. Et cetera.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: Around 50 Artists (illustrators, comic artists, traditional artists) and writers (short fiction, poetry, prose) who want to explore where the frontier meets horror. Merch designers and zine cover artists also sought. All styles and skill levels welcome. Also, this is an OC / Original character zine - I want to see a wide variety of both human and nonhuman characters.

More information found in the description of the application form found below. If you prefer, you may email your application to thevelvetcompote at gmail dot com. Please share with any artist friends who may be interested 🌵. Let me know if you have any questions!
