CARTOONIST FEES
Lorna Miller writes: An Irish cartoonist directed me towards this new publication. They are
paying £65 a page. This is disgraceful!!! I don't think they should be
allowed to pay this and I don't think anyone should accept to work for them!
There are SO MANY comic artists who would love to work in a national mag
that I'm sure they will get plenty of offers.
The LEAST a comic artist should be paid for a page of coloured comic art is
£300.
Viz paid £450 per page.
I'm paid £150 per page for colouring TOXIC art.
I think there should be information on pricing and industry standards
somewhere, a page on your web site? Doesn't have to be a lot of work, just
ask people what they are being paid for work, encourage people in the
industry to get in contact and update the info. Name and shame publications
like this one.
This sort of information is available to illustrators. Cartoonists and
comics artists are no different. We need a roof over our heads, we need to
eat. If you aren't paid what you deserve you'll hate what you're doing,
you'll produce shit work and if you accept jobs like this it lowers the
standards for everyone working in the industry. See their info below:
Published by Media Management, the magazine will be published monthly from
September and feature a pantheon of surreal, suspicious and just plain
stoopid characters.
"Our alternative heroes will live in cartoon strips anywhere between a three
frame strip and a four page story," says Media Management's Dave Emerson.
"TWISTED is aimed at 18 - 25 year old males and will definitely tend towards
explicit themes including sex, drugs and rock & roll.
"TWISTED will have national distribution through WH Smith, John Menzies and
Dawson News," says Dave.
"We're looking for cartoonists who can draw, write or both and want to see
their work published and appreciated by a wider audience."
If you think you fit the requirements, email pdf samples to
david@mediamanagement.uk.com or send
him details of website addresses where strips can be seen and read.
