“Swim On”
A shark zine for charity
Edited by J.Pawlik
Hello everyone! I’m posting an open call for illustrations
and writing for a small zine themed around sharks. I’m looking to do 10-25
pages depending on the response. All proceeds will be donated to sharksavers.org
to help stop shark finning and killing.
For this zine, my vision is to show lesser known species
living and happy. While I want to show people why I care so much about sharks,
I don’t want to leave them sad. I want to show that there’s more to sharks than
death, so please don’t include content like finning or the negative effect of
movies like “Jaws”.
The zine itself will be 6”x9” and will be sold as a PDF on
Gumroad. All proceeds that this zine makes will be sent directly to
sharksavers.org on a continual basis.
Submissions to the zine
-must be 6”x9”
-must involve a living shark
-traditional and digital artwork, as well as original
photography, writing, comics, poems and more are encouraged!
-lesser known species of sharks are encouraged!
-artwork must be sent as high res. as possible so long as it
is 6”x9”
-no anthropomorphic sharks
-no nsfw content
All submissions should be emailed to juliepawlik@gmail.com and titled “Shark
zine submission”, with your preferred name, your website or artblog if
applicable, and an attachment or link of your piece.
I do also ask that you not post your final submission online
for a year after the zine is posted. Progress shots and sketches are encouraged
though!
People will be emailed back regardless if they were accepted
or not.
Submissions will close July 22nd at 11:59pm
Thank you for reading and reblogging!
