Mark Millar blesses the internet:

A-List artist urgently needed!, Earn more than anyone at Marvel or DC… That’s right. This is FUNNY MONEY… and you will also get half of the TV rights for a big show going into production next year. I’ve got a 96 page graphic novel coming out with a strict late summer deadline and the publishers (from the book world) are giving this both a huge push and budget.

What’s the catch? There isn’t one. What happened is that the artist I was hoping to use wasn’t able to work at such short notice and now this thing is up for grabs. Ideally, I’d like to see this painted, but priority for the publishers is that the artist is a big name and preferably with a couple of awards under their belt. Sorry, this ain’t open to even the most talented of newcomers as the situation is quite unique. If you have any top ten experience, any awards and are just so damn good then please contact a mod for the opportunity of a lifetime.

Yep, you can earn more than Hitchy at Marvel or the Kuberts at DC… AND half the rights. It’s insane. But the deadline is fierce. We’re talking finished art for this project needed by July. And it’s 96 pages, preferably painted.

Don’t delay. I need my artist by Friday.

You may ask yourself, is a post on Millarworld really the best way to find an A-list artist like that with a hole in his schedule? And even if you won’t, a Millarworld poster will:

“Pardon me for being confused by this thread but wouldn’t every major artist in the industry have Mark’s number and vice versa? I mean this is Mark Millar were talking about (no sarcasm in that sentence ok I mean what I just typed) if he has a major project they should be chomping at the bit to work with him.”

Luckily, another Millarworld poster will give you and he the answer:

“Yeah but Mark’s desperate and the old interweb can spread the word to many places in seconds. Oh and of course it also manages to inform us that Mark will have an OGN out with a major a-list artist next year. See the method in the madness?”

Slow news days and creators trying to hype themselves: A match made in heaven.
