Wait!–There’s more.

Some of our favorite comic artists, illustrators and designers are teaming up with us to create a small work of art based on someone’s line. That has us excited–share a line and you could be the muse to a great artist!

And, if you’re an artist who wants to create a piece such as (but not limited to) a single pane comic, illustration, photo, YouTube Video, song or digital art based on one of the lines below–or one of your own–be sure to let us know. We’ll feature creative pieces in upcoming posts with the name of the artist and link to their site, Facebook Page or any other promotional page.

We’re honored that Lance Tooks, former assistant editor at Marvel Comics, and noted graphic novelist, has decided to contribute an interpretation of his classic character Narcissa. Thanks Lance!

Also, the very talented Sean Mack , recently contributed a piece inspired by the line: “You know you’re unchained when uncertainty stops stopping you.”


This is gonna be fun!
